卡迪夫的城镇开始围绕城堡周围扩展,移民主要由来自英格兰的定居者组成。[5]卡迪夫中世纪的人口在1,500至2,000人之间,这是当时威尔士城镇的正常规模。[6]卡迪夫是格拉摩根诺曼马歇尔领主的中心。到13世纪末,加的夫是威尔士唯一一个人口超过2000人的城镇,尽管与英格兰著名的城镇相比,它仍然相对较小,并继续被包含在城墙内,这些城墙在12世纪初开始作为木制栅栏。 [7][8]卡迪夫有足够的规模和重要性来获得一系列皇家特许,特别是在1331年从格拉摩根勋爵威廉·拉祖什(William La Zouche)与德克莱尔家族的婚姻过后,1359年爱德华三世、1400年亨利四世,以及后来的亨利六世颁发的特许状。
