Now Medieval Gower Stories is published, I need to start giving my history fans some juicy bits to get your teeth into. While I’m casting around, I thought you’d like to remember the big series I did on the history of Wales.
There was an item on the Welsh News one evening about Welsh children not learning the history of Wales, so I decided to redress the balance for all of us who don’t know Welsh history. It’s just highlights, but it will give you quite a lot of reading. Here is the list of blog posts in order:
