John Poyer, the Civil Wars in Pembrokeshire and the British Revolutions by Lloyd Bowen
This book provides the first discussion of the most steadfast supporter of parliament in Wales during the British Civil Wars (16429), who was eventually executed for his decision to switch sides and support the king in 1648.
‘This is a brilliant book, which not only transforms our view of the ‘turncoat’ John Poyer but also provides one of the most vivid, well-informed and sophisticated accounts ever written of the seventeenth-century civil wars in Wales”
-- Mark Stoyle, University of Southampton
“This exhilarating read challenges previous representations of Poyer and offers a first glimpse of the man on his own terms rather than through the eyes of his enemies. In doing so, the author illuminates the factional politics within the parliamentary cause in superb depth and with great sensitivity to the local context.”
