However, they have, for the most part, been overshadowed by the great Anglo-Norman castles of Wales. Now, a new book from Y Lolfa, Castles of the Welsh Princes, presents the Welsh side of the story of warfare in the Middle Ages. According to the author, Paul R. Davis, “It’s Important to realise that the Welsh were not always skulking around in the mountains, downtrodden by the Norman oppressors; they fought back using highly successful guerrilla tactics to harass the enemy, and adopted the invaders' own technique of building castles to take control of a conquered territory. From simple beginnings the Welsh castles evolved to quite sophisticated fortifications, and would no doubt have continued to develop had the Princes succeeded in retaining their independence against the English threat.” Castles of the Welsh Princes , by Rhondda-born Paul R Davis, is a fully illustrated book which guides the reader through some of the most awe-inspiring and romantic castles in Wales, from Deganwy to Dryslwyn and Criccieth to Carreg Cennen. The author uses plans, photographs and reconstruction drawings to reveal the diversity of style and the individual approach of the castle builders. Paul Davies said: “These strongholds are not always as large or impressive, indeed most are now little more than harsh skeletons of faded splendour, but they still deserve to be understood and appreciated. The 500 and more castles testify to the remorseless military ambitions of the Normans and the English but, more importantly, to the tenacious resistance of the Welsh and their unswerving belief in Welsh independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58819050832246,"sku":"9780862439705","price":7.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/5340\/9585\/files\/9780862439705_642bb664-2300-4aa7-af69-923b4ef659cd.jpg?v=1790353014","url":"https:\/\/www.siopypentan.co.uk\/products\/castles-of-the-welsh-princes-9780862439705","provider":"Siop Y Pentan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
