Chronicles of the Lords of the March by Kent Book Pdf

Kandwyn is the Heir to the March and he must deal with two old friends. One is working to get his revenge for his banishment and blames Kandwyn. Through sorcery and guile he attacks the March, the family-held realm, and brings the Heir to his most challenging confrontations and reckonings. The family-led military must meet the demands of the invasion and bring forth the next generation of warriors to defend the March and their lands from ruin. The other works his deceit from the inside for the lost love he feels Kandwyn stole from him, but makes a mistake in his revenge that could change everything for the Lords of the March and bring Kandwyn to his doom. King, Prince and Heir, along with the family, must lead the people of the March through these desperate times using their own means, while youths grow to warriors and love finds its way to help them all, and in the background, an important revelation is coming to the fore from the past.

Lords of the Central Marches by Brock Holden Pdf

In the Middle Ages, the March between England and Wales was a contested, militarised frontier zone, a 'land of war'. With English kings distracted by affairs in France, English frontier lords were left on their own to organize and run lordships in the manner that was best suited to this often violent borderland. The centrepiece of the frontier society that developed was the feudal honour and its court, and in the March it survived as a functioning entity much longer than in England. However, in the twelfth century, as the growing power of the English crown threatened Marcher honours, their lords asserted their independence from the king's courts, and the March became a land where 'the king's writ did not run'. At the same time, the increased military capability of their Welsh adversaries put the Marcher lordships under enormous military and financial strain. Brock Holden describes how this unusual frontier society developed in reaction to both the challenge of the native Welsh and the power of the English kings. Through a multi-faceted examination-political, economic, social, legal, and military-of the lordships of the Central March of Wales, it examines how the 'feudal matrix' of Marcher power developed over the course of the eleventh to thirteenth centuries.

The Brexit Chronicles by Paul McQueen Pdf

READ THE PLOT - CLICK TO WATCH THE VIDEO - Paul McQueen has joined all the dots of the Brexit story bringing it to life, guiding you through the tales of treachery and skulduggery. But, with only 2 referendums in 45 years why didn’t politicians have more faith in the voice of the people or is it that the EU redefined the word ‘democracy’? Well researched and presented in an easy to understand format with links to footage of key speeches and newsreels, it gives the reader a clear understanding of how successive leaders led the UK toward an ever closer union until the people said no. Unbiased, accurate and up-to-date it catalogues UK/EU events that got us where we are today. It’s probably the most important book on the subject to be released this year. The Brexit Chronicles is a book you will want to keep for your children and their children. Safeguarding the Truth Matters Accurately documenting the facts is crucial for future generations to understand why the UK voted Leave in the 2016 referendum. Since leaving the EU, safeguarding those truths has become even more important because there are those who are already seeking to re-join and there are those who will twist the truth.

Patronage and Power in the Medieval Welsh March by David Stephenson Pdf

This is the first full-length study of a Welsh family of the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries who were not drawn from the princely class. Though they were of obscure and modest origins, the patronage of great lords of the March – such as the Mortimers of Wigmore or the de Bohun earls of Hereford – helped them to become prominent in Wales and the March, and increasingly in England. They helped to bring down anyone opposed by their patrons – like Llywelyn, prince of Wales in the thirteenth century, or Edward II in the 1320s. In the process, they sometimes faced great danger but they contrived to prosper, and unusually for Welshmen one branch became Marcher lords themselves. Another was prominent in Welsh and English government, becoming diplomats and courtiers of English kings, and over some five generations many achieved knighthood. Their fascinating careers perhaps hint at a more open society than is sometimes envisaged.

The Medieval March of Wales by Max Lieberman Pdf

This book examines the making of the March of Wales and the crucial role its lords played in the politics of medieval Britain between the Norman conquest of England of 1066 and the English conquest of Wales in 1283. Max Lieberman argues that the Welsh borders of Shropshire, which were first, from c.1165, referred to as Marchia Wallie, provide a paradigm for the creation of the March. He reassesses the role of William the Conqueror's tenurial settlement in the making of the March and sheds new light on the ways in which seigneurial administrations worked in a cross-cultural context. Finally, he explains why, from c.1300, the March of Wales included the conquest territories in south Wales as well as the highly autonomous border lordships. This book makes a significant and original contribution to frontier studies, investigating both the creation and the changing perception of a medieval borderland.

Chronicles by Chris Given-Wilson Pdf

The priorities of medieval chroniclers and historians were not those of the modern historian, nor was the way that they gathered, arranged and presented evidence. Yet if we understand how they approached their task, and their assumption of God's immanence in the world, much that they wrote becomes clear. Many of them were men of high intelligence whose interpretation of events sheds clear light on what happened. Christopher Given-Wilson is one of the leading authorities on medieval English historical writing. He examines how medieval writers such as Ranulf Higden and Adam Usk treated chronology and geography, politics and warfare, heroes and villains. He looks at the ways in which chronicles were used during the middle ages, and at how the writing of history changed between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries.
