Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
The history of relations between the Welsh and their rulers goes back far beyond the birth of Britain as a single, unified nation, and it may surprise readers to learn how recent events have been shaped by this history. From Roman emperors through medieval dictators to modern constitutional monarchs, the pattern of changing attitudes and loyalties is traced in this book, offering a fresh new look at the ruling families of Wales in their historical context. It covers both the royal families that existed in pre-Conquest Wales and the predominantly English royal families that have ruled over Wales since medieval times, examining the changing relationships between the rulers and the ruled in Wales, from the early Middle Ages. “Royal Wales is immaculately researched and entertainingly written. The author has a colloquial style that will appeal to the historian and lay reader alike. The book takes the reader on a voyage of exploration, from the times of the Welsh Princes, through the oppression of Edward Longshanks to the present day. It presents the story of royalty in Wales, native and foreign, leaving the reader to make judgements about rights and wrongs. Essential reading for anyone who considers themselves interested in Welsh history”. Phil Carradice, writer and broadcaster
