The rugged but beautiful land of Wales was a refuge for the ancient
Britons as waves of invaders attacked and settled other parts of
Britain. The Britons endured in the mountain strongholds against
these raids, eventually becoming the Welsh people, the ancestors of
the Cymry of today; forming a land of small kingdoms ruled by Welsh
princes. In this book, Martin Hackett takes us on a journey through
the military history of Wales, looking at the armies involved and
the weapons they used. He covers the length and breadth of the
country, examining in detail twenty-four battles that have shaped
the history of Wales, beginning with the guerrilla campaigns of the
Celts against the Romans and moving through the defensive wars
against the Saxons and Normans, followed by the great rebellions of
the Llywelyns and Owain Glyndwr against the English invaders. The
book is completed by the English Civil War and the French invasion
of Fishguard during the Napoleonic Wars. Profusely illustrated
throughout with maps and photographs, this book brings to life
these forgotten milestones of Welsh history, many of which are
truly lost battlefields without memorials to commemorate their
turbulent past.
