Welsh Wars

The Welsh Wars, primarily occurring in the late 13th century, were a series of conflicts between the Kingdom of England and the principalities of Wales. Driven by England's desire to expand its territory and assert control, these wars featured notable figures like Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, who sought to unify Wales against English encroachment. The conflicts culminated in the conquest of Wales by King Edward I in 1282, leading to the incorporation of Wales into England and significant changes to Welsh governance and culture. These events laid the foundation for ongoing tensions between England and Wales.
