Preview The Welsh Princes: The Native Rulers of Wales, 1063-1283

Description:
The Welsh princes were one of the most important ruling elite in medieval Western Europe and this text examines their behavior, influence and power. From the mid-eleventh century to the end of the thirteenth, conquest and foreign 'colonial' settlement profoundly transformed Wales. Massive changes took place in the political, economic, social and religious spheres, and Welsh culture was significantly affected. Roger Turvey looks at this transformation, its impact on the Welsh princes and the part they themselves played in it. Drawing out the human qualities of flesh and blood characters, Turvey paints a vivid and compelling picture of a fascinating elite. For those interested in Medieval or British history.
