Free Borough of Llanrwst
The Free Borough of Llanrwst was a special privilege granted to the Welsh town of Llanrwst by the Prince of Wales. Llanrwst is now a small town and community on the River Conwy in Conwy County Borough, Wales. It takes its name from the 5th- to 6th-century Saint Grwst. Llanrwst developed around the wool trade and grew considerably in the by an edict prohibiting any Welshman from trading within of Conwy, with Llanrwst located away was well placed to benefit.
==Origin==
In 1276 Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Wales, also known as Llywelyn the Last, seized the town, declaring it a "free borough" independent from the diocese of Llanelwy.〔(History of Llanrwst ), Llanrwst.net, retrieved 5 October 2014〕 Although the bishop went as far as to seek the help of the Pope to overturn this, his attempts failed, Llywelyn pleading a close family tie to the place as a reason for safeguarding it.
After the death of Llywelyn in 1282, each further new attempt by the bishop of Llanelwy failed: the Cistercian monks of Aberconwy Abbey (where Llywelyn the Great, Llywelyn's grandfather, had died in 1240) insisted that it be allowed to keep the independence that had belonged to it for 29 years, and ripped down any banners related to the Bishopric or to Edward I. A century later, the monastery was moved upriver to Maenan Abbey, near Llanrwst.〔(BBC - Gogledd Orllewin - hanes )〕
The town consequently has its own coat of arms and flag, and this is the origin of the old local motto ''"Cymru, Lloegr a Llanrwst"'' (Wales, England and Llanrwst).〔 This motto, a testament to this apparent independence, has now become synonymous with the song of that title, by local band Y Cyrff.〔(Talk of the town ) ''BBC News'', 28 April 2006〕
