During Llywelyn ap Gruffudd's sweep through Wales in 1257, fighting took place around Carmarthen as Welsh forces sought to expel English garrisons from south Wales. Abergwili — just east of Carmarthen, where the Bishop of St David's had his palace — was in the contested zone. Llywelyn's 1257 campaign was his most sweeping military success before being formalised in the Treaty of Montgomery (1267).
