The Story of Wales

BBC One - The Story of Wales, Power Struggles

Recounting the building of a great frontier and Owain Glyndwr's struggle for independence.

Huw Edwards presents the history of Wales. He recounts how the lust for power and land by some medieval kings forged Wales into a nation.

Huw Edwards presents this major television history of Wales, showing the country in ways it has never been seen before. This Story of Wales spans seven centuries, from the building of a great frontier to Owain Glyndwr's epic struggle for independence. We meet the medieval kings who shaped Wales and watch a nation emerge out of their lust for power and land. Amidst battles with Vikings, Saxons and Normans, Welsh culture flourishes. But the death of the last native prince is followed by a century of plague and famine. Then, the charismatic Glyndwr leads a rebellion against the English Crown.
