When did King Edward I of England introduce the Statute of Rhuddlan, by which Wales was annexed to the Crown of England?
Correct Answer: In 1284
The Statute of Rhuddlan was introduced by King Edward I of England in 1284. It formally annexed Wales to the Crown of England, effectively ending Welsh independence following Edward's conquest of the principality.
The statute established English law and administration across Wales. Edward also built a series of imposing castles across Wales — including Caernarfon, Harlech and Conwy — to consolidate his control. He gave the title "Prince of Wales" to his son, a title held by the heir to the British throne to this day.
