Read the text about castles and dragons. (4 marks)
There are more than 500 castles in Wales. The English king, Edward 1, invaded Wales in 1277. He built 12 castles between 1282 and 1295. Caernarfon Castle became King Edward`s royal palace. He lived there with his family. In Medieval times, people painted the castles white. But now the castles aren`t white and lots of them are in ruins – some are just a wall!
The Welsh flag is green and white with a red dragon, called `Y Ddraig Goch`in Welsh. Wales and Bhutan are the only countries in the world with a dragon on the flag! There are lots of Welsh myths about dragons. In one myth, King Arthur carried a flag with a red dragon. Merlin made a prophecy about a battle between a red dragon (Wales) and a white dragon (England). The red dragon won.
