History of Wales - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is the second volume in the "History of Wales" series, and covers the period when Wales struggled to retain its independence and identity in face of the Anglo-Norman conquest and subsequent English rule. The nature of this slow and piecemeal conquest, culminating in Edward I's campaigns of 1282-3, is the major theme of this book; but unlike earlier accounts of the history of medieval Wales, it takes the story down to the last major revolt by Owain Glen Dwr in 1400-1415. It also examines how the society, economy and church of Wales were transformed during these centuries of conquest.
