St Davids Bishops Palace
St Davids Bishops Palace (also sometimes rendered as Bishop's Palace or Bishops' Palace) is a ruined Medieval palace located adjacent to St Davids Cathedral in the city of St Davids ((ウェールズ語:Tyddewi)), Pembrokeshire, one of the most important ecclesiastical sites in Wales. The site dates back to the 6th century, although the building that stands today dates largely from the late 13th and 14th centuries.
The palace is under the management of Cadw, the historic environment service of the Welsh Government. It is open as a visitor attraction and an open-air theatre and, as part of the city's cathedral precinct, attracts more than 300,000 visitors a year. It is a Grade I listed site.
== Early history ==
The original monastery that stood on the site was established in the 6th century and, over the succeeding four centuries, was ransacked at least 10 times by Norse raiders. The arrival of the Normans in the 11th century brought some stability. They appointed a Norman bishop and attempted to protect the site by building a motte and bailey fort and, later, a stone defensive wall.〔
St Davids became home of the Marcher Lords, responsible for guarding the border between England and Wales, so would have been a site of great strategic importance. It was also considered a hugely important religious site, housing relics of the St David, patron saint of Wales. William the Conqueror is said to have visited as a pilgrim in 1081.:-D
