This is the first study of the Anglo-Welsh border region in the
period before the Norman arrival in England, from the fifth to the
twelfth centuries. Its conclusions significantly alter our current
picture of Anglo/Welsh relations before the Norman Conquest by
overturning the longstanding critical belief that relations between
these two peoples during this period were predominately
contentious. Writing the Welsh borderlands in Anglo-Saxon England
demonstrates that the region which would later become the March of
Wales was not a military frontier in Anglo-Saxon England, but a
distinctively mixed Anglo-Welsh cultural zone which was depicted as
a singular place in contemporary Welsh and Anglo-Saxon texts. This
study reveals that the region of the Welsh borderlands was much
more culturally coherent, and the impact of the Norman Conquest on
it much greater, than has been previously realised. -- .
