Brecon was a Royalist garrison town in Breconshire throughout most of the Civil War. Parliamentary forces from Pembroke and Glamorgan gradually tightened their grip on south Wales. Brecon surrendered to Parliament in 1645. The town's medieval castle — now incorporated into a hotel — was the site where Bernard de Neufmarché had killed Rhys ap Tewdwr in 1093.
