This very well researched work has
been available in the Welsh language since 1987 in booklet form. The
author has taken a deep look at the material written about the
assassination of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. This gave us a very
“official” sounding account of that distressful happening.
In that version, fed to anyone who looked for that particular part
of our history, .Llywelyn was described as the perpetrator of evil deeds.
He was excommunicated and so became fair game for those who wished
him dead. This was not exactly a sound basis for a “true” tale to tell
his people. Anthony Edwards has avoided the pro and anti elements of
Llywelyn’s killing, and has looked dispassionately at what was written
at the time. The result is a very interesting essay based on facts.
The Princess Gwenllian Society has, with full approval of the author, had
the book translated into English. Reading it will be a new experience for
anyone who has not read the Welsh version.
As a Society we feel proud to be able to offer the booklet for sale from
the Secretary of The Princess Gwenllian Society. The cost is £2.00 +50p
(p&p).
