Description
In this volume four explanatory chapters are followed by seven sections of annotated sources. These deal with aspects of Tudor government of Wales providing analysis with documentation of the Acts of Union 1534-1543, the effectiveness of regional and local government, matters of law and disorder, defence, Welsh "apprenticeship" in Parliament, the impact of the Reformation on Wales and Welsh culture, the social concerns and interests of the gentry class, and the testimony provided in the writings of contemporary poets. The text gives evidence about the elements of strength and weakness in Tudor rule in Wales and its impact on the Welsh sense of national identity.
