o trace of Malmesbury Castle now exists as King John gave the monks of Malmesbury Abbey permission to use the stone from the castle for repairs and improvements to their church. The castle may have not been in a good state of repair itself for John to agree to its destruction. During the civil war in 1139 between King Stephen and Matilda, the daughter of King Henry I the castle was held by Stephen, but was attacked and damaged by Robert Fitz Herbert on behalf of Matilda. King Stephen then retook the castle.

argam Abbey is located a few miles to the south east of Port Talbot in Wales. It was founded in 1147 by Robert, Earl of Gloucester and monks from the mother house Clairvaux.

ontgomery Castle was formerly a motte and bailey style fort and was rebuilt in stone starting in 1223 by Henry III and completed in around 1228 by Hubert de Burgh. Hubert was responsible for the rebuilting work in the nearby castles White, Skenfrith and Grosmont. In its motte and bailey form the castle was originally known as Hen Domen and was built by Roger de Montgomery in around 1070. The new stone castle was built on a rocky ridge to the west of the town. The inner ward situated to the north had a large gatehouse with two d-shaped towers and another large d-shaped tower on its west side. Several buildings were constructed against the curtain walls. The outer ward situated to the south is larger and was surrounded by a stone curtain wall. In 1228 and again a few years later the castle was attacked by the welsh prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth but was not captured. In 1267 the Treaty of Shrewsbury was signed by between King Henry III of England and Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, the Prince of Wales. Henry recognised Llywelyn's position as Prince of Wales in return for a regular payment. The treaty was known as the Treaty of Montgomery as it was signed at the castle.
