(This is the first comprehensive history of the two decisi...)
This is the first comprehensive history of the two decisive centuries that 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 presents for the first time a rounded portrait ...)
This book presents for the first time a rounded portrait of the two decisive centuries of Welsh history that followed the protracted and destructive Glyn Dwr Rebellion (1400-1415). A penetrating account of the lives of Welsh men and women at all social levels, it tells the lively and exciting story of Welsh recovery from disaster and chronicles the political, religious, and cultural changes that were ushered in by the Tudor Act of Union, the Renaissance, and the Reformation. Professor Williams introduces readers to a diverse and impressive cast of characters such as Owain Glyndwr, Henry Tudor, William Herbert, and Robert Devereux, and draws on literature of the age, prose and verse, Welsh and English, to enhance an already vivid tale of a robust, colorful, and formative era of Welsh history.

( Wales and the Reformation is the first full-length stud...)
Wales and the Reformation is the first full-length study of one of the most significant phases in the history of Wales. Such neglect is surprising given the formative part played by the Reformation in shaping the subsequent destinies of Wales and its people. What is less surprising is that Sir Glanmor Williams has now remedied this deficiency with a work of scholarship that is magisterial in content and polished in style. In the sixteenth century the Roman Church which, for centuries, had regulated religion in Wales was ousted and replaced by a state-established Church, of which the monarch was constituted Supreme Head. It soon became obvious to a small group of intellectuals and reformers that the use of English to impose modifications to traditional worship and belief upon a mainly Welsh-speaking populace would be unlikely to succeed among the mass of the people. From mid-century onwards, therefore, there were determined attempts both to secure adherence to reformed doctrine and to safeguard the native cultural inheritance by means of Welsh translations of the Bible, Prayer Book, and other literature.The translation of the Bible into Welsh was probably the key factor in retaining the native language; it ensured the success of Welsh literature, tied the clergy to Welsh culture, and inspired confidence in the continuance of Welsh nationhood. Slow though progress was in many respects the indispensable translations were achieved and the Welsh were set on the road to becoming a fervent Protestant nation. The switch of allegiance from Rome was neither simple nor straightforward; it provoked great upheaval and confusion, in which secular concerns and material interests became entangled with cultural and devotional consequences. In Wales and the Reformation Glanmor Williams succeeds in unfolding this complex story in a lucid and readable fashion.
