Edward I's conquest of Wales was a key formative event in the history of Britain. Sean Davies takes a balanced approach, giving both the Welsh and English perspectives on the war and on the brutal, mistrustful and ruthless personal motives that drove events. His account is set in the context of Welsh warfare and society from the end of Rome to the time of Edward's opening campaign in the late 13th century. The narrative describes the military history of the conflict, the sequence of campaigns, Welsh resistance, Edward's castle building and English colonisation and the cost of the struggle to the Welsh and the English - and the uneasy peace that followed.
