Bosworth Field... A Welsh Retrospect 1485-1985 (Preloved)

On the jacket cover are shown the arms of ancient House of Gwynedd, the last native Princes of Wales, whose story is told in the early chapters.

The martial Harry of Monmouth, the much loved Owen Glendower and Henry of Richmond, the first King of the Tudor dynasty stroll through the pages.

Wales is rich in people who have achieved fame far beyond her shores. Here too is the story of the adventurous Madoc who sailed for America three hundred years before Columbus, the colourful Henry Morgan, pirate king and Governor of Jamaica, and David Lloyd George, the architect of the allied victory in the first World War, to name but a few from the vast canvas of famous Welshmen.

This is a book not only for those who know Wales and wish to know more, but an introduction to Wales for visitors and others interested in her story from the earliest times until today.
