Summary:

A study of the Anglo-Welsh border region in the period before the Norman arrival in England, from the 5th-12th centuries. Its conclusions significantly alter our current picture of Anglo/Welsh relations before the Norman Conquest by overturning the longstanding critical belief that relations between these two peoples during this period were predominately contentious.
