  • A History of Usk the Roman Legionary Fortress of Burrium Was Founded on the Site of Usk in 55 AD
    A History of Usk The Roman Legionary Fortress of Burrium was founded on the site of Usk in 55 AD. It was the earliest legionary fortress in Wales. However, by 75AD the Romans had relocated their permanent base to Caerleon, seven miles away. Usk continued to be occupied as a civilian settlement with evidence of iron working. By the twelfth Century the town had been turned into a stronghold with a hilltop castle and a medieval street plan. As well as this, during 1170 a Benedictine priory was founded and the remains of this are still retained in the church of Saint Mary. Richard de Clare the second Earl of Pembroke built Usk Castle as part of their family’s plans to control the areas resources and people. 1402 saw the Welsh revolt during which much of the town was destroyed. Owain Glyndwr burned Usk to the ground in his quest to take control of much of South Wales from the English King Henry IV and his son King Henry V. The battle of Pwll Melyn in 1405 occurred north of Usk Castle, causing a substantial loss of life. After their defeat, 300 welsh prisoners were executed in front of the castle. From 1431, William ap Thomas seized Usk. His son William Herbert carried out improvements at the castle including installing large windows and fireplaces. However, following the death of Herbert during the Battle of Edgecote, the castle began to decline. In 1933, the Humphreys family purchased the castle for the sum of £525.00; with this they received one donkey and one flag.

  • MANY MOTIVES: GEOFFREY of MONMOUTH and the REASONS for HIS FALSIFICATION of HISTORY John J. Berthold History 489 April 23, 2012
    MANY MOTIVES: GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH AND THE REASONS FOR HIS FALSIFICATION OF HISTORY John J. Berthold History 489 April 23, 2012 i ABSTRACT This paper examines The History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth, with the aim of understanding his motivations for writing a false history and presenting it as genuine. It includes a brief overview of the political context of the book at the time during which it was first introduced to the public, in order to help readers unfamiliar with the era to understand how the book fit into the world of twelfth century England, and why it had the impact that it did. Following that is a brief summary of the book itself, and finally a summary of the secondary literature as it pertains to Geoffrey’s motivations. It concludes with the claim that all proposed motives are plausible, and may all have been true at various points in Geoffrey’s career, as the changing times may have forced him to promote the book for different reasons, and under different circumstances than he may have originally intended.

  • The Battle of Grosmont
    GWENT LOCAL HISTORY (Formerly Presenting Monmouthshire) - Number 97 On many occasions Local History cannot be meaningful in a purely 'local' context. An event or process identified in a particular place may be part of a much wider perspective that the local historian must be aware of in order to give his work its proper focus. The Battle of Grosmont was a turning-point in the Glyndwr Rebellion that had covered the length and breadth of Wales and the borders in the early years of the fifteenth century. Secretary: Jenny Render Editor: Tony Hopkins Gwent Record Office Autumn 2004 THE BATTLE OF GROSMONT, 1405: A reinterpretation by Nick Thomas-Symonds (researched by Gareth McCann) Introduction Owain Glyndwr was declared Prince of Wales on 16 September 1400 at his own manor. The apparent pretext was a disagreement with his neighbour, Lord Grey of Ruthin, over either a deliberately delayed summons for Glyndwr to accompany the king on his expedition to Scotland or a local boundary dispute. For Rees Davies, 'this was a premeditated act based on long-festering grievances and an attachment to the ideology of an independent Wales governed by its own native, legitimate ruler.'2 Indeed, from this apparently minor event, Wales was to become a region in revolt. The Battle of Grosmont is one of the Anglo-Welsh battles of this time. It occurred almost exactly half-way through the 'revolt' period of 1400-1409, in March 1405. The significance of the Battle of Grosmont can be located in the context of the Glyndwr revolt, or in terms of providing a brief historical window into the early character of Prince Henry of Monmouth, later Henry V (r.

  • Geoffrey of Monmouth's Welsh Sources
    Chapter 1 Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Welsh Sources Ben Guy Introduction: Britons, Bretons, and the Unworthy Welsh It has long been recognized that Geoffrey of Monmouth drew on sources origi- nating from the Brittonic-speaking world. This fact is frequently mentioned in scholarly literature, though it is rarely accompanied by detailed supporting evidence. It was, after all, with the Britons, both contemporary and ancient, that Geoffrey was primarily concerned, and it was to the Britons that he looked for source material concerning the history of Britannia.1 One might legitimately ask whether it is possible, or even necessary, to dis- tinguish between sources that originated from different Brittonic-speaking re- gions. It would appear that the three surviving Brittonic languages had not yet become mutually unintelligible by the 12th century. Gerald of Wales comment- ed on this matter in the first recension of his Description of Wales, completed around 1194, some 60 years after the propagation of the De gestis Britonum: Indeed, Cornwall and Brittany use almost the same language, which is, nevertheless, still intelligible to the Welsh in many and almost in all cases, on account of their original relationship. Inasmuch as it is less re- fined and rougher, it is closer to the ancient British language, or so I think myself.2 1 To avoid confusion, I shall continue to employ the adjective “Brittonic” rather than “British” when referring to the medieval and ancient Britons. I avoid the term “Celtic”, which is mean- ingless in this context. 2 Gerald of Wales, The Description of Wales i.6, ed.
