Anglo-Welsh Wars

The Anglo-Welsh Wars were a series of conflicts between the Anglo-Saxons (early English kingdoms) and the Welsh (groups in what is now Wales) during the early medieval period, roughly from the 5th to the 12th centuries. These wars centered on territorial disputes, power struggles, and defense of independence. While some battles resulted in Anglo-Saxon expansion into Welsh territories, others were Welsh resistances to conquest. The conflicts shaped the shifting boundaries and relationships between the two groups, influencing the cultural and political landscape of Britain during this time.
