This, the first volume in the History of Wales, provides a detailed
history of Wales in the period in which it was created out of the
remnants of Roman Britain. It thus begins in the fourth century,
with accelerating attacks from external forces, and ends shortly
before the Norman Conquest of England. The narrative history is
interwoven with chapters on the principal sources, the social
history of Wales, the Church, the early history of the Welsh
language, and its early literature, both in Welsh and in Latin. In
the fourth century contemporaries knew of the Britons but not of
Wales in the modern sense. Charles-Edwards, therefore, includes the
history of the other Britons when it helps to illuminate the
history of what we now know as Wales. Although an early form of the
name Wales existed, it was a word in the Germanic languages,
including English, and meant inhabitants of the former Roman
Empire; it therefore covered the Gallo-Romans of what we know as
France as well as the Britons.
