Book Edward I and Wales  1254   1307

Download or read book Edward I and Wales 1254 1307 written by David Pilling and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late 13th century witnessed the conquest of Wales after two hundred years of conflict between Welsh princes and the English crown. In 1282 Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the only native Prince of Wales to be formally acknowledged by a King of England, was slain by English forces. His brother Dafydd continued the fight, but was eventually captured and executed. Further revolts followed under Rhys ap Maredudd, a former crown ally, and Madog ap Llywelyn, a kinsman of the defeated lords of Gwynedd. The Welsh wars were a massive undertaking for the crown, and required the mobilization of all resources. Edward’s willingness to direct the combined power of the English state and church against the Prince of Wales, to an unprecedented degree, resulted in a victory that had eluded all of his predecessors. This latest study of the Welsh wars of Edward I will draw upon recently translated archive material, allowing a fresh insight into military and political events. Edward’s personal relationship with Welsh leaders is also reconsidered. Traditionally, the conquest is dated to the fall of Llywelyn in December 1282, but this book will argue that Edward was not truly the master of Wales until 1294. In the years between those two dates he broke the power of the great Marcher lords and crushed two further large-scale revolts against crown authority. After 1294 he was able to exploit Welsh manpower on a massive scale. His successors followed the same policy during the Scottish wars and the Hundred Years War. Edward enjoyed considerable support among the ‘uchelwyr’ or Welsh gentry class, many of whom served him as diplomats and spies as well as military captains. This aspect of the king’s complex relationship with the Welsh will also feature.

Book The Medieval Abbeys of England and Wales

Download or read book The Medieval Abbeys of England and Wales written by Roland William Morant and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This resource guide aims to assemble within one volume brief details of all the surviving buildings in England and Wales as well as smaller artifacts which may be described collectively as contents. The guide is targeted both at researchers from a variety of disciplines - historical, archaeological and architectural etc. - as well as at individual heritage enthusiasts who wish to track down items of particular interest. It is also hoped that it will become a standard of reference in libraries. About 580 monastic houses are referred to in the text, the author having visited almost all of them over a period of fifteen years. As far as the author is aware, no comprehensive effort has been made to bring this data together within one book. The work seeks therefore to fill a significant information gap.

Blackouts, rationing, evacuees, queuing for silk stockings, young men who rowed across the North Sea to assist our War effort, heroism, air raids, incendiaries, injury, and death are mentioned and there are many touches of humour.Also mentioned is the Lancaster bomber which 'buzzed' the town; the Lysander plane which crashed killing both pilots; pilot training on Oliver's Mount for clandestine operations; bravery and heroism in the air and on the ground; the Resistance in Italy near Monte Cassino; and did Hitler really instruct the Luftwaffe not to bomb the Grand Hotel as he wanted to make it his Reich Chancellery had he won the war?With 240 pages and many photographs this book is a fascinating read.
