This is the first book on one of Wales’s greatest leaders, arguably ‘first prince of Wales’, Bleddyn ap Cynfyn. Bleddyn was at the heart of the tumultuous events that forged Britain in the cauldron of Norman aggression, and his reign offers an important new perspective on the events of 1066 and beyond. He was a leader who used alliances on the wider British scale as he strove to recreate the fledgling kingdom of Wales that had been built and ruled by his brother, though outside pressures and internal intrigues meant his successors would compete ultimately for a principality.

Chapter             one: The kingdoms uniteChapter             two: Bleddyn's rise to powerChapter             three: The new kingsChapter             four: Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and NormansChapter             five: Opportunity and disasterChapter             six: The principalities divide
