Renewal and Reformation by Glanmor Williams

This is the first comprehensive history of the two decisive centuries which followed the defeat of Owain Glyndwr in 1415. The fifteenth century was a time of resilience and recovery from the Rebellion, and one which saw the emergence of ruling gentry families, whose power, and that of the monarchy, was confirmed by the Tudor Act of Union, 1536-43. This was an age of outstanding personalities and achievements as impressive as they were diverse: Owain Glyndwr, Henry Tudor, John Dee, Robert Devereux, William Morgan, Matthew Gough, and Robert Mansell. Throughout, the Welsh remained prouder and more conscious of their national identity than has usually been thought.
This book offers the first comprehensive assessment of the two centuries of Welsh history that followed the defeat of Owain Glyn Dwr's rebellion in 1415* The Medieval World *
Williams, Glanmor: - The late Sir Glanmore Wililams was author of many books and articles including The Welsh Church from Conquest to Reformation and Wales and the Reformation.
