After the Lancastrian defeat at Mortimer's Cross in February 1461 where his father Owen Tudor was captured and executed at Hereford, Jasper Tudor retreated to Pembroke Castle and continued to hold it for Lancaster. He maintained Lancastrian resistance in south-west Wales for several years. Pembroke Castle was significant because the young Henry Tudor was born there in 1457 and sheltered under Jasper's protection. Jasper's stubborn resistance kept the Lancastrian cause alive in Wales.
