Welsh History Month on Wales Online

Wales Online has added a new chapter to its Welsh History Month website today.

Huw Pryce, professor of Welsh history at Bangor University has written about the turbulent times in the 13th century when the Gwynedd princes dominated Wales.

Llewellyn Ap Gruffudd or Llywelyn the Last, the prince of Wales was killed on 11 December 1282. Professor Pryce examines the common view that Llewellyn's death is often considered to signal the end of hope of a dream of Welsh independence.

Find out more about the era of military expansion and political spin on the Wales Online's New Welsh History website.
