We all know our Welsh history, don't we? We all know who the good guys and the bad guys were, at home and abroad. Our heroes were virile and virtuous: brave on the battlefields, inspirational leaders of men, political pioneers and general all-round good blokes. Weren't they? This book asks us to think again about some of the great (and not so great) historical figures we thought we knew - and reminds us that they weren't all guys either! It asks us to reconsider the achievements of saints and soldiers, statesmen and scientists, and scholars and athletes. People like Gerald of Wales, Kathryn of Berain, Oliver Cromwell, Robert Owen and George Thomas, not to mention women teachers, miners and rugby players. Like the previous book in this series, A New History of Wales, Heroes and Villains in Welsh History is the result of a collaboration between the Western Mail and a group of twenty-two historians who form part of History Research Wales. It has been edited by H. V. Bowen, Professor of Modern History at Swansea University .

National Redeemer written by Elissa R. Henken and has been published by Cornell University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1996 with Folklore categories.

In this lively interdisciplinary study, Elissa R. Henken combines the tools of the historian and the folklorist to explore the development of a powerful, polysemous cultural symbol. Owain Glyndwr, called Owen Glendower by Shakespeare, led the last major armed rebellion of the Welsh against the English in the early fifteenth century. He has become an important symbol of modern Welsh nationalism. Henken examines the roles Glyndwr played both in his own lifetime and in subsequent centuries.

The Welsh revolt of 1294-5 was to be the most serious attempt to regain Welsh independence until the coming of Owain Glyndŵr (Glyn dŵr) 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.

When James VI of Scotland and I of England proclaimed himself King of Great Britain he proposed a merger of parliaments as he had joined two crowns in his own person ascending the throne of England in 1603. For James, the Cambro-Celtic past led to an Anglo-Scottish present, and Wales stood as the ideal. Although the parliamentary union of Great Britain was not initiated for another 100 years, Parliament’s denial failed to deter James from wanting a Great Britain, and R. A.’s play The Valiant Welshman became part of the public spectacle of unity required to nurture James’s dream. The Valiant Welshman, the Scottish James, and the Formation of Great Britain considers national, regional and linguistic identity and explores how R.A.’s play promotes Wales, serves King James and reveals what it means to be Welsh and Scots in a newly forming "Great Britain."
