'... Hawarden boasts two castles. The ruined 13th century castle was used by Edward I as a base for his invasion of Wales. It was captured by Dafydd, brother of Welsh Prince, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, in 1282. In the 17th century it suffered severe damage during the Civil War when it was defended by the Parliamentary side. The new castle was Gladstone's home after his marriage to Catherine Glynne, heiress to the Hawarden estate.'
