Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Laws of Wales: Viewed Especially in Regard to the Light They Throw Upon the Origin of Some English Institutions The present work was, at the time of the author's death in 1884, all but ready for the press. Pages 1-119 had been set in order for printing, and the rest of the Ms., though still needing arrangement, had apparently been written out in its final form. The duties of editorship have therefore been less onerous and responsible than might have been expected in the case of a work published posthumously. It has not been deemed right to make any alterations in the text of the work, save in respect of those slight inaccuracies of statement or irregularities of style which the author himself would certainly have set right had he lived to see his book through the press. In the matter of arrangement, on the other hand, a certain amount of independent judgment had to be exercised; the reader cannot, therefore, always feel certain that the various topics are being brought before him in the precise order the author had intended. Efforts have been made to verify all references, and this, it will be readily seen, has been no small part of the labour of editing. Beyond the work of revision, arrangement and verification, however, little has been undertaken; a few additional notes and references have been inserted, all distinguished from those of the author by square brackets. The chapter headings, the brief summaries attached to them, and the indices are also additions on the part of the editor. The book is an attempt to trace, in the local institutions of medieval and modern England, vestiges of a state of society similar to that described in the Welsh Laws.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A frontier has been called "an area inviting entrance." For the Norman invaders of England the Welsh peninsula was such an area. Fertile forested lowlands invited agricultural occupation; a fierce but primitive and disunited native population was scarcely a formidable deterrent. In The Normans in South Wales, Lynn H. Nelson provides a comprehensive history of the century during which the Normans accomplished this occupation. Skillfully he combines facts and statistics gleaned from a variety of original sources—The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Domesday Book, Church records, charters of the kings and of the marcher lords, and more imaginative literary sources such as the chanson de geste and the frontier epic—to give a vivid picture of a century of strife. He describes the fluctuating conflict between Norman invaders in the lowlands and Welsh tribesmen in the highlands; the hard struggle of medieval frontiersmen to take from the new land a profit commensurate with their labors; the development of a Cambro-Norman society distinct and quite different from the Anglo-Norman culture which engendered it; and the attempt of the frontiersman to prevent the Anglo-Norman authorities from taking control of the lands he had won. The turbulent Welsh tribes provided an ever present harassment along the frontier, and Nelson begins his presentation with an account of the failure of the Saxons to control them. He examines the methods adopted by William the Conqueror to cope with the problem—the creation of the great marcher lordships and the subsequent problems in controlling these lordships—and the weakness of some Anglo-Norman kings and the strength of others. By 1171 the conquest of the Welsh frontier was complete; but as Nelson points out, this conquest was strangely limited. The frontier, which extended throughout the lowlands of Wales, stopped at the 600-foot contour line in the mountains. In his final chapter Nelson speculates upon the curious fact that large areas of seemingly inviting moorlands lying above this line remained closed to the Cambro-Norman, and his speculations lead him to some interesting inferences about the nature of the frontier's influence upon the civilization which moves in to occupy it.
