About this book
Mediæval Wales by A. G. Little says in its preface that the work does not claim in any way to be an original contribution to knowledge. The preface adds that the work is published on the recommendation of some friends in whose literary judgment the writer has confidence.
The text says that a race of conquerors distinct from the conquered in blood and language and civilisation must hold together for a time, and that the uniform pressure turns the conquered from a loose group of tribes into a nation, as the Norman Conquest did for England. The text says that Cunedda, the founder of the Cymric kingdom, was an invader and a conqueror but not an alien, and spoke the same language as the people he conquered. The text says that the closer the relations between Simon and Llywelyn became, the less cordial became his relations to Gilbert de Clare.
