		Rhuddlan may not be as well known as some of the north Wales castles, yet it shares much in common with its illustrious neighbours.

	Rhuddlan, Wales. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
		RHUDDLAN, two miles north of St Asaph, lies on the banks of a tidal reach of the Clwyd River (Afon Clywedog), which finally meets the sea at Rhyl.
		The town would be an insignificant suburb of Rhyl but for the diamond-shaped ruin of Rhuddlan Castle (Easter–Sept daily 10am–5pm; £2; CADW), built between 1277 and 1282 as a garrison and royal residence for Edward I. The impressive castle commands a canalized section of the river protected by Gillot's Tower.
		Important though the castle was, Rhuddlan earns its position in history as the place where Edward I signed the Statute of Rhuddlan on March 19, 1284, consigning Wales to centuries of subjugation by the English.

	Statute of Rhuddlan
		Edward was determined to "check the impetuous rashness of the Welsh, to punish their presumption and to wage war against them until their extermination." Dafydd was quickly captured, dying a traitor's death at the orders of the English king, and Edward was now free to do with Wales as he wished.
		In 1294, the Statute of Rhuddlan confirmed his plans regarding the governing of Wales (apart from the Marches, left more or less as quasi-independent earldoms as rewards for their help in disposing of the Welsh problem).
		Following his successes in Wales, signified by the Statute of Rhuddlan, sometimes referred to as The Statute of Wales, Edward embarked on his massive castle-building program, creating such world-heritage sites of today as Caernarfon, Conwy, Harlech, and Beaumaris in addition to the not so-well known (or visited) structures at Flint and Rhuddlan.
