A comprehensive and authoritative companion to the history of
Wales.
This comprehensive and authoritative companion to Wales, its
people and its millennia of history can be enjoyed by armchair
travellers and tourists alike. The respected historian Terry
Breverton presents the characters, events, buildings and
institutions that have shaped Wales over the ages, from its
earliest origins to the present day.
The nation has the oldest national flag in the world, one of the
oldest languages in existence, the longest unbroken Christian
heritage in history, and has somehow retained a fierce sense of
independence and nationality despite its proximity to England. The
book takes us from the earliest recorded human burial in the world
(at Paviland Cave) through the battles against the invading Romans,
Vikings, Picts, Saxons, Normans and the Anglo-French kings to the
present-day status of the country. Its people have changed the
history of Britain and the United States, with the Tudor Dynasty
giving Britain its European identity and Thomas Jefferson and
others founding the breakaway union of
American states. The book comes in an accessible, comprehensive,
illustrated dictionary format, from an author who has written more
than twenty entertaining and informative books upon the Welsh and
their achievements.
