Chepstow Castle was built by the Norman Lord William FitzOsborn (later Earl of Hereford) in 1067, just one year after the Norman Invasion of England. It was chosen as a strategic site to protect the Rivers Wye and Severn as these were major transport routes for both trade and military.
The history is best learnt by visiting the castle and seeing the area for yourself or visiting a website.
