Wales to conserve ruins of medieval court of its last native prince

Government to take over care of Llys Rhosyr, the 13th-century site used by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, to encourage more visitors

The Welsh government has acquired the ruins of a medieval court used by the last native prince of Wales before the 13th-century English conquest of the country. The historic site will be conserved and presented for public view.

Llys Rhosyr, in Newborough on the island of Anglesey, with views across the Menai Strait to the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia), was an important administrative centre for Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, also known as Llywelyn the Last.
