During a protracted dispute between the King of England and a portion of his barons. Earl Gilbert Declare who was from Hereford decided to take advantage of the current situation while the King of England was preoccupied with his rebellious English barons. Declare determined that he would take matters into his own hands by using his own private fortune to build a huge fortress in Caerphilly. The building process was began in April of 1268.
