This volume of historical essays is a collective tribute, on behalf of the whole community of the historians of Wales, to Kenneth O. Morgan and Ralph A. Griffiths who, on behalf of the University of Wales Board of Celtic Studies, have edited The Welsh History Review / Cylchgrawn Hanes Cymru for the better part of forty years, during which the academic study of the history of Wales has come of age. Over the past two generations The Welsh History Review has played a vital role in the transformation of the history of Wales as a rigorous scholarly subject.
R. R. Davies is Chichele Professor of Medieval History at All Souls College, Oxford. Geraint H. Jenkins is Director of the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies and Chairman and Research Director of the Board of Celtic Studies.
