Klappentext zu „Medieval Wales “
This book provides an introduction to the history of medieval Wales, with particular emphasis on political developments. It traces the growth of Welsh princely power, and the invasion and settlement of Welsh territories by Norman adventurers which resulted in the erosion of Welsh princely authority in the south. The subsequent development of a powerful Welsh state under the leadership of the princes of Gwynedd was checked by Edward I in 1277, and thereafter the principality was deliberately overrun and destroyed. Despite valiant attempts, the English domination of Wales persisted, even beyond the advent of the Tudor dynasty.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Medieval Wales “

Autoren-Porträt von David Walker
David Walker trained as an architect in the UK. He gravitated to teaching architecture and design. In his middle career, he became a specialist in design management and innovation. Much of this work aimed to make designers more business-like and businessmen more creative. Creativity and Business 'A foot in both graves' some might think. He has lived for extended periods in Sydney, Boston, Ann Arbor, Hong Kong, and Auckland--where he now lives. He draws for pleasure and therapy. And for the same reasons, he is the servile companion of two cats. In this book the two realms come together.
