Description
Who were the worst bad guys in Welsh history? The most tyrannical rulers? The most blood thirsty outlaws? The most unscrupulous traitors?
- Graham Loveluck-Edwards (author of Historic Pubs of Wales) takes us on a light-hearted romp through this rogues’ gallery of scandalous behaviour. Everything from medieval massacres to swashbuckling pirates. Even a few Kings of England thrown in for good measure. All viewed from the perspective of the people of Wales. We look at their antics and ask, “do they deserve their bad reputations?”
Just so you know, the answer is usually “yes!”
“Graham Loveluck-Edwards is an absolute legend. He’s got this unbelievably infectious passion for history, incredible knowledge, and beautiful hazel eyes. The Paul Hollywood of history.”
BAFTA award winning writer and actor Charlie Cooper
“Loveluck-Edwards’ narrative style harkens back to fireside tales of old with the perfect balance of wickedness his devotees have come to love.
If your inappropriate pre-2000s history teacher had one or two sherries and wrote a book on Wales, this would be it.
I learned more than I expected to. I laughed more than I should have…”
Stephen Price – Nation Cymru
