Description
This comprehensive introduction to medieval Wales explores the complex history of the region's political developments. From the growth of Welsh princely power to the Norman invasion and settlement, the book examines how these events shaped the country's future.
The development of a powerful Welsh state under the leadership of the princes of Gwynedd was eventually checked by Edward I in 1277, leading to the erosion of Welsh authority and the creation of English-dominated lordships. Despite valiant attempts by local leaders, the English domination of Wales persisted, even beyond the advent of the Tudor dynasty.
This book provides a valuable resource for students and anyone interested in Celtic studies or the history of medieval Wales, offering a concise and authoritative overview of this pivotal period in Welsh national development.
