Infos

This book examines the achievements of Welsh rulers – such as Llywelyn the Great and Llywelyn the Last in the so-called Age of the Princes – but also probes the factors, including the hostility of other Welsh leaders and communities, which led to the ultimate failure of the Llywelyns and the conquest of their principality by Edward I.

Autor

This book will appeal to both Sixth-form and university students, university staff who teach medieval history. It will also be of interested to the general reader and Members of County Historical Societies in Wales, and members of Celtic societies in the USA.
