Anglesey

Known in Welsh as M n Mam Cymru (The Mother of Wales), the Isle of Anglesey was the last stronghold of the Druids during the Roman occupation and continued to have key strategic importance to the Welsh until their defeat by Edward I, who built huge castles of subjugation at both ends of the Menai Straits. This fiercely independent part of Wales has a truly rich history that is comprehensively presented by David Pretty in this new book. Written in a scholarly yet popular style, the book will appeal to all readers whether students of history, tourists or residents and ex-patriots of the Isle of Anglesey. This is the third volume in the Histories of Wales series.
