Description

The Round Tower is the oldest part of Windsor Castle. It was originally built under the orders of William the Conquer. It took several centuries for the castle to be completed as the different rulers liked adding different sections.

Walter FitzOtho was the first castellan of the castle (under order's of William the Conquer). His son, Gerald FitzWalter (better known as Gerald de Windsor), married a woman by the name of Nest ferch Rhys who was the daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, the last king of Deheubarth. This union produced a man named Maurice Fitzgerald who is considered to be the founder of the Fitzgerald Dynasty of Ireland. Interestingly enough, the Tudor royal family of England is also stated to descend from Rhys ap Tewdwr.
