Reviews
"'...the volume succeeds admirably in presenting an alternative to the somewhat caricatured 'noble savages' view of medieval Welsh military forces, and in doing so makes a major contribution to the subject'. History; 'Sean Davies has produced a well-crafted and thoroughly researched book. He has brought together in one place a wealth of information demonstrating that Welsh military organization was more cohesive than has previously been appreciated.' The Monmouthshire Antiquary ""Davies's principal achievement is exploitation of the sources. Where previous scholars have dismissed the evidence as lacking, or have made assumptions based on Celtic particularity, Davies marshals the material to create a sound, scholarly, and surprisingly comprehensive chronological account of the development of Welsh military institutions through six and a half centuries. This excellent book should have its place on the shelf of anyone who wishes to understand the Welsh Middle Ages."" J. R. Davies, University of Edinburgh, Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies"
