Known as the most beautiful woman in Wales. She had many lovers. Nesta was firstly mistress to Henry I; secondly she married Stephen, Constable of Cardigan; thirdly she married Gerald of Windsor. In Christmas 1108 Owain ap Cadwgan of Cardigan came to visit Nesta and her husband, Gerald. He so lusted after her that he, that night, attacked the castle and carried her off and had his way with her. This upset Henry I so much that the incident started a war.
