Aus dem Nachlass von Michael Richter. Mit Namensstempel auf Vorsatz. Gebraucht, aber sehr gut erhalten. - Power in Wales in the early middle ages was inextricably linked to politics. This book analyses the nature of power and its relationships, in theory and in practice. Who had power? How did they use it? What did it mean? Wendy Davies examines the distribution of power, territorial and social, and traces the ways in which contemporaries defined this fundamental concept. Patterns of Power in Early Wales confronts challenging questions relating to definitions and consequences of military control, alien settlement, landownership, and political domination. Professor Davies analyses the impact and nature of English, Irish, and Viking contacts with the Welsh, and argues their significance for the long-term development of Wales. This is a stimulating and scholarly study by one of the foremost historians of the Celtic world. (Verlagstext). ISBN 9780198201533
