The Last Princes of Wales

The Last Princes of Wales tells the dramatic story of the final native rulers of medieval Wales and their struggle to preserve independence. During the 13th century, Welsh princes such as Llywelyn the Great and his grandson Llywelyn ap Gruffudd sought to unite the land and resist English domination. Their rule represented the last era of sovereign Welsh leadership before conquest by the English crown. The story is marked by political alliances, warfare, diplomacy, and betrayal. The defeat of the Welsh princes led to the end of native rule in Wales. This history highlights themes of resistance, identity, and the lasting legacy of Welsh independence within Britain’s medieval past.
