So, 1282, Hugh, is obviously a very important date, 1282 to 1284, because Edward I subdues the rest of Wales outside of the marches.
What changes for the March of Lords once the rest of Wales is under the control of the English king?
And that's the territory that is given to the Prince of Wales as well.
Yes.
This is when this emerges.
It seems slightly counterintuitive, Helen, that...
At this point, after Edward I's military victory, that it becomes a sort of golden age for the marches.
And yet I'm struggling a bit with that because once the rest of Wales is conquered, then the function of the marches as a sort of, you know, aggressive invading or defensive force changes.
seems to disappear.
So what changes would you see when you looked around after Wales becomes attached to the crown of England?
Yes.
And what were Welsh people doing after Edward assumes power?
How did they respond to this?
What happens to Welshness in this period?
Hugh, in fact, all of you have mentioned the castles, but Hugh, can you tell me roughly how many castles there were?
In the hundreds, I think.
Hundreds and hundreds.
There's someone who's almost a distillation of the cultures in the marches, and that's Gerald of Wales.
What does he tell us, Hugh?
Rin, we've already heard from Helen a mention of Owen Glendore, and for those of you who would like to find out more about him, there's an entire programme in our time devoted to Glendore.
