Llywelyn the Great captured Aberystwyth Castle from English control in 1221, consolidating his hold on Ceredigion which he had been building throughout the previous decade. The castle was a key strategic point linking north and south Wales and its capture strengthened Llywelyn's position as the dominant power in Wales. His control of Aberystwyth lasted until English re-conquest after his death.
