The History Of Wales.

Behind every Welsh mountain lies a story of kingship, conquest, and defiance. In The History Of Wales, David Powell gathers those stories into a single, sweeping account of medieval Welsh history and the complete history of Wales as it was remembered in the sixteenth century. These stories still burn bright. Framed as a historical chronicle of Wales and as a sequence of princes of Wales biographies, it follows the Welsh princes succession from Cadwalader, last native king, to Lhewelyn, last prince of British blood, then traces the fate of Middle Ages Wales as it passed under the dominion of the English crown. As one of the earliest extended narratives of Wales in print, Powell’s work stands as a foundational primary source history book for understanding Anglo-Welsh relations history, the consolidation of Wales under English rule, and the shaping of British identity. Long valued as a reference book for historians and a rigorous textbook for medieval studies, it also rewards the curious general reader with vivid annals of warfare, diplomacy, and dynastic intrigue. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure, essential to any British medieval history collection and an enduring landmark for anyone drawn to Middle Ages Wales.
