The Green Lady is a Caerphilly legend, based partly on fact.
Nearby Caerphilly Castle was built in the 13th century by Gilbert de Clare. His wife, Princess Alice of Angouleme had a clandestine love affair with Gruffudd the Fair, Prince of Brithdir. When her husband found out, he had Gruffudd murdered. It is said that Alice dropped dead on hearing of the death of her lover, and has haunted Caerphilly Castle ever since, dressed in green to represent her husband's envy.
