Synopsis
This volume traces Wales's struggle to retain independence and identity in the face of the Anglo-Norman conquest and subsequent English rule. A thorough examination of this lengthy period of turmoil, the book not only covers the landmark campaign of Edward I in 1282-3 but also recounts the last major revolt by Owain Glen Dwr in 1400-1415, providing a full account of how the society, economy, and church of Wales were transformed during these centuries of conquest.

Review
"Fulfills every expectation. It is deeply researched and lucidly written....Not the least of the strengths of Davies's book is that he also places medieval Wales firmly within the context of British and Irish history and of European history in general. For that reason alone, Davies's book deserves the attention of all specialists in medieval history. For those who are interested specifically in medieval Wales, this book is a work of the first rank."--American Historical Review
"A clear, systematic, and authoritative analysis....[A] work...of impeccable scholarship and synthesis."--Albion
"Davies has complete control over his material, and with bardlike skill narrates the story of the Welsh as they faced and survived the Anglo-Norman invaders in the 11th and 12th centuries ....A vitally important acquisition for British history collections."--Choice
"Narrative history writing at its best--majestic in style, immensely detailed yet never constipated. I cannot see it ever being superseded."--The Sunday Telegraph
