The Welsh Wars of Independence

The Anglo-Saxons and Normans had tried to subjugate Wales, but it was not until 1283 that Edward I defeated Llywelyn the Great and claimed the title of Prince of Wales for his eldest son. However, Wales refused to be conquered. Rebellions led by Owen Glyndwr threatened English control and Welsh involvement in the Wars of the Roses strengthened the Lancastrian cause. Although Henry VIII attempted to integrate Wales into Tudor Britain, the country retained its sense of independence.
