Description
Swansea, a medieval frontier town at the nexus of multiple identities and cultural practices, was an important centre in the Middle Ages. As the principal town of the Marcher lordship of Gower, it was a site of contested authority and complex interactions between different cultures, languages, and traditions. This book brings into focus questions of place, power, identity, and belief, drawing on inter-disciplinary perspectives from History, Literary Studies, and Geography/Archaeology. It explores the intriguing case of William Cragh, a Welsh rebel whose hanging and strange revival are recorded in a miracle collection prepared for the canonisation of Thomas Cantilupe, Bishop of Hereford. By examining medieval Swansea and Wales, this volume engages with current debates in fields such as medieval frontier studies, urban history, manuscript studies, and hagiography.
