Sound the trumpet for battle and the peasant will rush from his plough to pick up his weapons as quickly as the courtier from the court." So wrote Gerald of Wales at the end of the twelfth century; and war continued to define the experiences of Welshmen in the succeeding years. This book explores the role of the Welsh in England's armies and in England's wars between Edward I's conquest of Wales in the 1280s, through the wars in Scotland and France and the revolt led by Owain Glynd¿ær, concluding with Henry V's conquest of Normandy following his victory at Agincourt in 1415. It examines the structure and composition of armies and the social networks and hierarchies which underpinned them: what sort of Welshmen became soldiers? How was Welsh society organised for war? What impact did wider political considerations have upon Welshmen in England's armies? These questions are answered using both well-known sources, such as the financial records of the English crown, and others less familiar, including the records of local administration and the large surviving corpus of Welsh-language poetry."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Soldiers $z Wales $x History. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History, Military $y 1066-1485. 651 0 $a Wales $x History $y 1063-1536. 830 0 $a Warfare in history. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161202021953.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D37AAF566B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
