It was originally a Roman fort and was turned into a mote and bailey castle by Norman invaders in the 11th century. It was rebuilt by stone in the 12th century and completed in the 13th century. Cardiff Castle was the base of frequent conflicts between the Welsh and the Anglo-Normans. It was attacked various times in the 12th century and was stormed during the revolt of Owain Glyndŵr in 1404.
