Review Quotes
Professor Helen J. Nicholson, Cardiff University
"This fascinating collection explores how widely the medieval Welsh extended their influence and travelled not only within Britain, but to France, Rome and Jerusalem. Examining gender roles, ethnicity and cultural exchange, it shows the medieval Welsh as part of Catholic European society, who yet maintained a distinctive identity."
