Publisher's Synopsis
The Welsh revolt of 1294-5 was to be the most serious attempt to regain Welsh independence until the coming of Owain Glyndwr (Glyn dwr) and the most conclusive proof of this statement is the fact that its leader, Madog ap Llywelyn, accorded himself the title of prince of Wales. This book - the first comprehensive study of the revolt - seeks to re-examine its causes and chart its development.
