French builders called the castle beaux marais meaning "beautiful marsh" since the castle was built on a marsh foundation. This is one of the largest fortresses in Wales and the last created by King Edward I. However, construction was never completed and only saw a little combat during the 17th century Civil War. Had it been finished it was fixed to be one of the grandest ever built.(1,2)
