Flint was the first great castle built for Edward I during his campaigns to defeat Llywelyn ap Gruffudd and subdue the Welsh.
Edward built his castles along the coast so that they could be supplied from the sea, thus avoiding inland travel through densely wooded areas full of hostile Welsh tribes.
It was at Flint Castle, in August 1399, that King Richard II was captured by Henry of Bolingbroke and forced to return to London and abdicate in favour of Henry who became King Henry IV.
