After a descriptive survey of the work of the Princes’ officials, the range of revenues available to the Princes is discussed, as are their attempts to increase their income. The recruitment of a privileged ministerial elite is examined and detailed prosopographical analysis reveals the Princes’ attempts to overcome the segmentary nature of the political structure. Finally, attention is focused on the ways in which the rise of the Llywelyns and the increased pressures of governance imposed by their ambitions created tensions within Gwynedd and contributed to the final collapse of native rule in Wales. A new introductory section discusses recently published work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58819519447414,"sku":"9781783160044","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/5340\/9585\/files\/9781783160044.jpg?v=1790350801","url":"https:\/\/www.siopypentan.co.uk\/products\/studies-in-welsh-history-political-power-in-medieval-gwynedd-governance-and-the-welsh-princes-g-9781783160044","provider":"Siop Y Pentan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
