Hawarden Castle on the Flintshire-Cheshire border was a significant Royalist garrison connected to the Welsh Marches theatre. Its reduction in 1646 was part of the final mopping-up of Royalist resistance in the border zone. Hawarden later became famous as the home of Victorian Prime Minister W.E. Gladstone, but in 1646 its medieval ruins were the scene of Civil War siege operations.
