Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Welsh Shires: A Study in Constitutional History The Oldest Of the exclusively Welsh shires Of to-day are the result Of the Norman conquest Of South Wales in the reigns Of William Rufus and Henry I. A swarm of Norman warriors, greedy for adventure, plunder, and conquest, poured themselves Over the borders, and, after a desperate struggle, got into their possession nearly all that was worth getting in Southern and Eastern Wales. They had little connexion with the king, and fought primarily for their own hands; but when they had conquered a district they were content to hold it as a fief Of the English crown, provided that they were allowed to exercise within' its'limits a jurisdiction hardly less than regal over their subjects. These lordships Marcher, or Border lordships, were very numerous, and were organised much on the model Of similar feudal lordships in England. Such were the lordships Of Grower, of Brecon, Of Montgomery, of Bromfield, of Denbigh-land, and of Chirk. But among the series, two Marcher states were so large and so important as to be organised upon the same lines as an English county. These were the earldom of Pembroke and the lordship of Glamorgan.

Download or read book Medieval Castles of England and Wales written by Bernard Lowry and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to dominate the surrounding area, to house powerful garrisons, offer sumptuous quarters for local nobility, and to discourage and repel enemy attacks, castles dominated England and Wales for more than half a millennium. Though some were built before 1066, the Norman Conquest left a lasting legacy in the form of fortifications ranging from small earthworks now barely discernible, to mighty and dominating stone fortresses. This book examines why castles were so essential to medieval warfare, their importance in domestic politics, and the day-to-day lives of those who lived and worked within them. It also shows how the development of new technologies affected their construction and design, and why they eventually fell into disrepair in the late Middle Ages. Beautifully illustrated with stunning photographs, this is the perfect guide for any castle enthusiast seeking to discover more about medieval fortifications and their inhabitants.
