Patterns of Power in Early Wales
Wendy Davies
Abstract
This book is an exploration of the nature of power in early medieval Wales. The book examines the distribution of power, territorial and social, and traces the ways in which contemporaries defined this fundamental concept. It confronts challenging questions relating to definitions and consequences of military control, alien settlement, landownership, and political domination. It analyses the impact and nature of English, Irish, and Viking contacts with the Welsh, and argues their significance for the long-term development of Wales.
Keywords: power, medieval Wales, Celtic world, Viking contacts
