Opis

Owain Glyn Dwr is arguably the most famous figure in the history of Wales. His revolt (1400-1409), which was the last major Welsh rebellion against English rule, generated a remarkable vision of Wales as an independent country. This is a reissue of the first scholarly work for over 50 years to present Owain and his revolt to a general audience.

Recenzje

Review from previous edition a new study of the revolt and of the society into which it erupted ... deserves immediate recognition as a contemporary classic
