This book presents for the first time a rounded portrait of the two decisive centuries of Welsh history that followed the protracted and destructive Glyn Dwr Rebellion (1400-1415). A penetrating account of the lives of Welsh men and women at all social levels, it tells the lively and exciting story of Welsh recovery from disaster and chronicles the political, religious, and cultural changes that were ushered in by the Tudor Act of Union, the Renaissance, and the Reformation. Professor Williams introduces readers to a diverse and impressive cast of characters such as Owain Glyndwr, Henry Tudor, William Herbert, and Robert Devereux, and draws on literature of the age, prose and verse, Welsh and English, to enhance an already vivid tale of a robust, colorful, and formative era of Welsh history.
