Edward I s conquest of Wales was a key formative event in the
history of Britain, but it has not been the subject of a scholarly
book for over 100 years. Research has advanced since then, changing
our perception of the medieval military mind and shining fresh
light on the key characters involved in the conquest. That is why
Sean Davies s absorbing new study is so timely and important. He
takes a balanced approach, giving both the Welsh and English
perspectives on the war and on the brutal, mistrustful and ruthless
personal motives that drove events. His account is set in the
context of Welsh warfare and society from the end of Rome to the
time of Edward s opening campaign in the late thirteenth century.
The narrative describes in vivid detail the military history of the
conflict, the sequence of campaigns, Welsh resistance, Edward s
castle building and English colonization and the cost of the
struggle to the Welsh and the English and the uneasy peace that
followed.
