This is a guidebook to the Battle of Crug Mawr, fought near Cardigan, a key turning point in the Anglo-Welsh Wars of the 12th century. The sweeping victory of the Welsh at Cardigan was historic. It not only put the victor, Owain Gwynedd, in a position to rule Wales free of English domination, it also marked the arrival on the battlefields of Europe of a new, deadly and uniquely Welsh weapon: the longbow. This book brings an exciting new look at the Anglo-Welsh Wars.
