Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Analysis of the History of Wales Any attempt at writing an Analysis of the History of Wales involves the initial difficulty that there exists no comprehensive history on which it may be based. A few admirable Short Histories have appeared in recent years, but they are obviously inadequate for the purpose. Much has also been written on various aspects of Welsh History, but it necessarily lacks the unity of a complete work. This Analysis could not, therefore, be based on any one historical work. Still, despite the frag mentary character of its origin, an attempt has been made to give it the unity and continuity of a complete history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on Welsh History These letters are offered to the public in a very imperfect form, because the author has been incessantly engaged in the laborious duties and cares of life from a very early period. But he has sought for knowledge of every kind, nevertheless. Amidst such constant engagement he never found time to study grammar or the rules of composition. On these heads, therefore, the work will be open to some objections, but as to the facts and deductions he feels confident that few objections can be justly raised. They have already been subjected to the ordeal of a critical examination by learned Welshmen in his native land; men possessing every advantage from their knowledge of Welsh history to judge of their correctness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Wales: Written Originally in British But as soon as the Roman legion was transported into Gaul, the Picts and Scots returned, and having by a de sperate assault passed the wall, pursued the Britons with a more dreadful and bloody slaughter than formerly. The Britons, perceiving their condition most desperate, once more sent their miserable complaints to Etius, in these tragical words: To zetius, thrice consul, the groans of the Britons the barbarians drive us to the sea, and the sea drives us back to them, and so, distracted betwixt two deaths, we are either drowned or erish by the swordf But they solicited to no purpose: tife Romans having al ready bid absolutely farewell to Britain, and the empire being cruelly oppressed by the Goths and other barbarous nations, they were not in a condition possibly to assist them. The Britons, therefore, finding themselves absolutely for saken by the Romans, and conceiving it utterly impracticable to drive away the barbarians by their own strength, saw it urgently necessary to call in the aid of some foreign nation, whose labour in repelling their enemies should be gratefully and satisfactorily rewarded.

Download or read book History of the Princes of South Wales Classic Reprint written by George Thomas Orlando Bridgeman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Princes of South Wales The history of the subjugation of Wales has received such a very partial consideration from those who have written upon it as a detached page of British history, that it seems desirable to investigate it more closely, and to compare it with such original documents as we still possess. The chief difficulty which meets the student of Welsh medieval history is the scarcity of official deeds. The writings of the early chroniclers, though singularly faithful on the whole, cannot always be implicitly trusted, and it is not often that the facts they record can be authenticated by contemporaneous documents. Heraldic Pedigrees afford but little help; indeed they often serve rather to mislead than assist the enquirer; for though many of them have been preserved by their owners with praiseworthy care for several hundred years, they have been drawn up from the first with palpable inaccuracies and without any regard for dates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wales and the Wars of the Roses As its little suggests, the present volume is an attempt to examine the struggle between Lancaster and York from the standpoint of Wales and the Marches. Contemporary chroniclers give us vague and fragmentary reports of what happened there, though supplementary sources of information enable us to piece together a fairly consecutive and intelligible story. From the first battle of St Albans to the accession of Edward IV the centre of gravity of the military situation was in the Marches: Ludlow was the chief seat of the duke of York, and the vast Mortimer estates in mid-Wales his favourite recruiting ground. It was here that he experienced his first serious reverse - at Ludford Bridge; it was here, too, that his son Edward, earl of March, won his way to the throne - at Mortimer's Cross. Further, Henry Tudor landed at Milford Haven, and with a predominantly Welsh army defeated Richard III at Bosworth. For these reasons alone unique interest attaches to Wales and the Marches in this thirty years' war; and it is to be hoped that the investigation will throw some light on much that has hitherto remained obscure.
