爱德华一世征服威尔士

爱德华一世征服威尔士是英国历史上一个关键的形成事件，但它已经100多年没有成为一本学术书籍的主题。从那时起，研究取得了进展，改变了我们对中世纪军事思想的看法，并为参与征服的关键人物带来了新的曙光。这就是为什么肖恩·戴维斯（Sean Davies）吸收新研究成果如此及时和重要的原因。他采取了一种平衡的方法，从威尔士和英国的角度来看待这场战争，以及推动事件发生的残酷、不信任和无情的个人动机。
他的叙述是在威尔士战争和社会的背景下进行的，从罗马末期到爱德华在十三世纪末开始竞选。故事生动详细地描述了冲突的军事历史、战役顺序、威尔士抵抗、爱德华的城堡建设和英国的殖民统治，以及斗争对威尔士人和英国人的代价，以及随之而来的不稳定的和平。
Edward I’s Conquest of Wales
Edward I’s conquest of Wales was a key formative event in the history of Britain, but it has not been the subject of a scholarly book for over 100 years. Research has advanced since then, changing our perception of the medieval military mind and shining fresh light on the key characters involved in the conquest. That is why Sean Davies’s absorbing new study is so timely and important. He takes a balanced approach, giving both the Welsh and English perspectives on the war and on the brutal, mistrustful and ruthless personal motives that drove events.
His account is set in the context of Welsh warfare and society from the end of Rome to the time of Edward’s opening campaign in the late thirteenth century. The narrative describes in vivid detail the military history of the conflict, the sequence of campaigns, Welsh resistance, Edward’s castle building and English colonization and the cost of the struggle to the Welsh and the English – and the uneasy peace that followed.
