But, Rin, can you tell us about the general causes of tension?
Because this is quite late on in the period we're discussing, isn't it?
What causes the rebellion and what happens to it?
Right.
But eventually, of course, he was defeated and that was the last great rebellion of the Welsh.
Hugh, over this period of 400 years from the 11th century, second half of the 11th century to the first half of the 15th century, how profound were the changes which the March area experienced?
Helen, we've heard about the emergence of the martial lords and the march lands.
What about the end of the march lands?
What happens in the Tudor period?
And presumably this was all part of Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell's centralisation splurge that was going on in the 1530s, because it's not just Wales, it's also the north of England as well at this time.
Irene, as a last question, where did this all leave the people of Wales?
As we know, Welsh nationalism, both cultural and political, is sustained to this day.
But it seems to me that with the March of Lords, there was quite a lot of acceptance amongst the Welsh for the reality on the ground, as it were, from the 11th century onwards.
Do you think that they found ways of accommodating these structures?
And would you say that there are still traces today of that marcher culture?
Would that be going too far?
Or do you move from this part of the world, for example, deeper into Wales in, say, Ceredigion or somewhere like that, and suddenly realise you're in a somewhat different place?
Any of you?
My thanks to Helen Fulton, Hugh Price and Rin Emlin and to our audience here at the Hay Festival who are about to give my guests another rousing round of applause.
Next week, we're going back hundreds of millions of years to learn about the evolution of trees.
