Abstract

The Mortimer History Society was launched in 2009 to provide a focus and forum for all those who are interested in the medieval Mortimer dynasty and the history of the Welsh Marches. In the first of two linked sessions speakers will explore the effects of cultural interaction and difference in the marches of Wales in the three centuries leading up to the Edwardian Conquest, with an emphasis on warfare, the law and legal codes and marriage and gender.
