This book delves into the dramatic and complex history of Wales during the 11th and 12th centuries, a period marked by the Norman Conquest and the subsequent struggle for Welsh independence.

The narrative skillfully positions the story of Wales within the broader context of the Norman Conquest of England, highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities faced by the Welsh in this turbulent era.
