Prince of Wales
If you happen to be in Wales, be sure to visit Caernarvon, an ancient town, at least 2,000 years old. The Romans built a great fort there. But what overshadows everything else in Caernarvon is the castle. When Edward I, King of England, was trying to conquer Wales, he built a great line of castles, but Caernarvon was the most magnificent of all. After Edward I conquered Wales, the two Welsh leaders were killed, but the Welsh people, though they were A22 beaten, were rebellious. There were a number of chieftains who were A23 jealousof one another and did not want to A24 obeythe English king. Three or four of them came to see Edward, who with his wife Eleanor, was staying at Caernarvon Castle, to tell their complaints. They wanted, they said, to be ruled not by an English King, but by a Prince of Wales, born in Wales, of royal blood, and not speaking English or French. They wanted a prince whose life was good, and who hadn't hurt any man. After a little thought Edward told them to ask all the chiefs and their followers to come to Caernarvon Castle in a week's time and he would give them a Prince of Wales who fulfilled their conditions. The next week the great square outside the castle was A25 crowded with excited people, all wondering which of the chieftains Edward had chosen. The King appeared with his knight who was carrying Edward's shield flat in his hands. There was a bundle covered with a blanket on the shield. Edward asked the Welsh if they would obey the prince who would A26 meet all their demands. The people promised to keep their A27 word. Then Edward turned to the knight, lifted the blanket and showed a small baby. He said: "Here is your prince. My son, a prince of royal blood, born a week ago in Wales, in Caernarvon Castle; he speaks no word of English, and he has not hurt no man alive. Edward, Prince of Wales!" The Welsh people were pleased A28 except chieftains and from that day to this, the eldest son of the King or the Queen of England has always been the Prince of Wales.
