Synopsis

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.
