Remarkably, the Welsh were not completely defeated by Norman England until Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd was treacherously assassinated in 1282, but even then the Welsh believed that a 'mab darogan', a son of prophecy, would arise and reclaim England for the British. Several revolts occurred up to the Glyndŵr War of 1400-1415, and continued until another 'mab darogan', Henry Tudor won at Bosworth. 'Accessible and Highly Readable’ – The Western Mail: ‘Terry Breverton through documented research, plus a strong dedication for the truth of Welsh history, has written a remarkable history. This is the second book on Welsh history I’ve read by Terry Breverton, I’m just amazed at his dedication to study and research in his topics. I’m even more amazed at his candour in wanting accurate information given about Welsh history.’ ‘If it had not been for Owain Glyndŵr's 15-year struggle against overwhelming odds, the Welsh would not have survived as Europe's oldest nation. His war is the defining era in the history of Wales.’ (Also in paperback 224pp 2013)
