' The foes are like the stars of light, Their number such--their arms are bright; The foes are like the northern wind, Of strength too vast to be defin'd; Our doom is, if their rage we face, Despair, discomfiture, and disgrace.' Bold Gam he told another tale; " I've mark'd the foe on hill and dale; There is enough, and that is all, Enough to fight, enough to fall, Enough to grace our triumph gay And full enough to run away." The Cambrian warrior's story brave, To cooling bosoms ardour gave, --On they rush'd and charg'd. how well The fame of Agincourt can tell; The dying Gam was dubb'd a knight." Grraldus Cambrensis. Giraldus Cambrensis was born in the Castle of Manorbier, in the county of Pembroke. In his childhood he displayed a love of literature, and for the ecclesiastical profession, which led his father to call him " The little bishop." He was educated under the care of his uncle, David Fitzgerald, Bishop of St. David's, with whom he remained until he was twenty years of age, and then he went to Paris, where he gained great distinction. In the year 1172 he returned to England, and gained an ecclesiastical preferment, but in a short time he gained many enemies, on account of his activity in correcting abuses which had crept into the Church. In the year 1176, the chapter of David's chose him to the vacant see, but the King refused to consent to his election, and he was obliged to yield his claim. In the year 1180 he waB appointed Archdeacon of Brecon. King Henry ii. visited the Welsh borders in the year 1184, became acquainted with Giraldus, and, admiring his learning, took him to his court, and appointed him a preceptor to his favourite son, John, who did no credit to his teacher. He accompanied that prince in the year 1185, as his...

Download or read book An Inventory of the Ancient Monuments in Glamorgan: Volume III - Part 1b: Medieval Secular Monuments the Later Castles from 1217 to the present written by Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales and published by Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales. This book was released on 2000 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty-three castles and fortified sites here described were founded or given their most significant fabric after 1217. They include tower-houses, strong houses, possible castles, and twenty masonry castles ranging from the great Clare works at Caerphilly and Morlais to the small modestly fortified sites at Barry and Weobley, and the exceptional fortified priory at Ewenny. The density and variety of the medieval fortifications in Glamorgan are unrivalled, and their study is enriched by an exceptional range of works on the history and records of a historic county formed by merging the lordships of Glamorgan and Gower. Part la described the early castles and traced their role in the Norman conquest and settlement of the fertile southern lowlands down to 1217, when the Clares inherited Glamorgan. In that year the Welsh had expelled the English from Gower and remained unconquered in the Glamorgan uplands. Gower was soon lost again, and under two redoubtable Clare lords the Glamorgan uplands were appropriated in the mid-13th century and secured in a notable programme of castle works. The castle-building of Earl Richard de Clare (1243-62) and his son, Gilbert, the 'Red Earl' (1263-95), as they achieved this 'second conquest of Glamorgan', foreshadowed the later campaigns of Edward I against Gwynedd. At Caerphilly, above all, Earl Gilbert's castle deserves comparison with the great Edwardian works; it introduced defensive features later to be adopted by King Edward's Savoyard master masons. Gower sites considered include the impressive masonry castles at Oystermouth and Penrice. A notable ornately arcaded domestic range at Swansea is the only surviving vestige of the chief castle of Gower, which is tentatively described from a variety of records. AH the illustrated descriptions incorporate detailed historical accounts. The introductory survey outlines the later descent of Glamorgan and Gower to the end of the 15th century, and along with the sectional preambles it provides general discussion of the sites.

Part 2, Farmhouses and cottages written by Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales and published by Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales. This book was released on 1982 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Inventory forms Part ii of Volume IV of the series planned for the county of Glamorgan. Volume III is intended to survey the secular monuments of the Middle Ages: Part i, defensive, and Part ii, nondefensive. Volume IV is intended to survey the secular monuments of the period between the Reformation and the Industrial Revolution: Part i The Greater Houses, and Part ii The Farmhouses and Cottages. When complete, the series should provide a comprehensive description of the surviving dwellings of the people of Glamorgan, both fortified and unfortified, from the time of the Norman invasion until the accession of George III, together with a few selected monuments of later date. In Part i of the present volume were described the principal residences of the major land-owning families built between ca. 1540 and 1760. In all, 42 houses were fully illustrated and described. In Part ii will be found some of the secondary residences of those families, as well as houses of lesser landowners, but chiefly recorded here are the houses of minor gentry and the tenant farmers, yeomen, and husbandmen, effectively the 'middle class' of rural society. In all, 1,136 houses have been noted. In addition a selection of farmbuildings has been included, a total of 342 being noted.
