Hanes Cymru (A History of Wales in Welsh)

Product Information

The first three chapters concentrate on prehistoric, ancient and medieval Wales, the next three run from the end of the Middle Ages to the mid-19th century and the next three on the last 100 years. There was a tendency, therefore, for local families of Welsh origin to take over, officially or otherwise, various administra- tive functions. Comprising stories about Gwenllian Ferch Gruffudd; Owain Glyndŵr; Black Bart; Dic Penderyn/Merthyr Riots; Alfred Russel Wallace; the Penrhyn Strike; Race Riots of the 20th c; Eileen Beasley; the Aberfan tragedy and Devolution. This book includes stories about Gwenllian Ferch Gruffudd; Owain Glyndwr; Black Bart; Dic Penderyn/Merthyr Riots; Alfred Russel Wallace; the Penrhyn Strike; Race Riots of the 20th C; Eileen Beasley; the Aberfan tragedy and Devolution.

For example, the non-residence of the lords of Oswestry and Chirk in the fifteenth century enabled the complex kindreds of the Kyffins and the Trevors to struggle for 'the sovereignty of the country'-a struggle of which Sir John Wynn of Gwydir gives such a vivid glimpse in his History of the Gwydir Family.

Llyfnder sydd i'r arddull wrth ymdrin â ffeithiau ac ystadegau sydd yn ôl Betsan Powys yn "llywio ac yn lliwio yr un pryd". The festival has a wide range of activities on offer once again this year - from Owain Glyndŵr to the artworks of Kyffin, and from the stories of the Mabinogi to the story of Tryweryn. In the absence of detailed studies of the rise of Welsh Marcher gentry families, it is not possible to do more than generalize on the basis of such relevant and suggestive details as are available.
