Download or read book Hywel the Good written by John Broughton and published by Next Chapter. This book was released on 2023-04-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hywel, the King of Dyfed, falls in love with Elen, the beautiful young daughter of the deceased King of Dyfed. Their betrothal makes political sense, as it unites the two kingdoms, but their love for each other is genuine. Hywel becomes a just and wise king, introducing reforms to the Welsh legal system and forging alliances with neighboring kingdoms. After going on a pilgrimage to Rome to get his law code approved by the Pope, Hywel gets caught up in political intrigue and seduced by a powerful Roman noblewoman. Back in Wales, he has to deal with a rebellion by the eldest son of the deceased King of Brycheiniog. Despite these challenges, Hywel strives to be a virtuous and enlightened king, and remains beloved by his people. Based on the life of a true historical figure, John Broughton's 'Hywel The Good' is the story of one of the most important characters in Welsh history, remembered for his reforms to the Welsh legal system, and his efforts to unite the kingdoms of South Wales.

Book Synopsis Days That Changed the World by : Hywel Williams
Download or read book Days That Changed the World written by Hywel Williams and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The currents of History run deep and often unseen beneath the everyday ripple of events. But now and again the current rises to the surface, and the events of a single day shed an exceptional light on the meaning of the past. Such events are the subject of Days that Changed the World. Some of the 50 days described here mark the end of an era; others the start of something new. Many are the dates of bloody battles or murders; others of momentous decisions or breathtaking discoveries. All are remembered as powerful symbols of their time. Our story begins almost 2500 years ago on 28 September 480 before the Christian Era, when the Athenian navy destroyed the Persian invasion fleet in the Bay of Salamis. Had the Persians won we might never have heard the names of Plato, Aristotle or Alexander, nor recognize the word democracy. Charting 50 such defining moments, concluding with 11 September 2001 and the destruction of New York's Twin Towers, Days that Changed the World is a unique and fascinating way to portray the story of world history. These 50 history-making days include: The Battle of the Salamis; The Assassination of Julius Caesar; The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ; The Dedication of Constantinople; The Death of Muhammad; The Coronation of Charlemagne; The Death of Genghis Khan; The Fall of Constantinople; The Defeat of the Spanish Armada; The Defenestration of Prague; The Fall of the Bastille; The Battle of Waterloo; Parliament Passing the Emancipation Act; The Battle of Sedan; The Boxer Rebellion; The First Day of the Somme; The Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor; The Bombing of Hiroshima; Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream'; The Breaching of the Berlin Wall; Nelson Mandela's Release from Prison; Nine Eleven.
Download or read book Oops! written by Hywel Roberts and published by Crown House Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book also shines a spotlight on the role of the teacher and how he or she can do the right things to get the absolute best from students. Some of the best learning takes place when, rather than imposing on young people a pre-determined curriculum, you find the stimulus that is relevant and engaging for them and build from there. Then the curriculum starts to emerge in a way that simply hooks students into learning almost despite themselves. There is nothing for them to push against ('What's the point?!', 'This is boring..!') as they have helped shape the direction of the lesson in a way that makes it real and useful to them. All this without them even realising what is going on! They have been 'lured into learning' and the process is shared with teachers in this book, with examples as to how it can be done and how the author has done it. Reading this book will support teachers in developing ideas that motivate everybody in the classroom, from infants to secondary and beyond. Whether you're new to teaching or have vast experience you will find in this book inspiration to raise achievement, improve behaviour and enhance creativity in the classroom; and you will change the way you approach lesson planning forever.

Book Synopsis Wales, the Welsh and the Making of America by : Vivienne Sanders
Download or read book Wales, the Welsh and the Making of America written by Vivienne Sanders and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1971, Californian congressman Thomas M. Rees told the US House of Representatives that ‘very little has been written of what the Welsh have contributed in all walks of life in the shaping of American history’. This book is the first systematic attempt to both recount and evaluate the considerable yet undervalued contribution made by Welsh immigrants and their immediate descendants to the development of the United States. Their lives and achievements are set within a narrative outline of American history that emphasises the Welsh influence upon the colonists’ rejection of British rule, and upon the establishment, expansion and industrialisation of the new American nation. This book covers both the famous and the unsung who worked and fought to acquire greater prosperity and freedom for themselves and for their nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the Basque children who came to Wales during the Spanish Civil War. In 1937, with civil war raging in Spain, 3,862 Basque children fled their country. They were packed on an old cruise liner that left Bilbao for Southampton. Throughout the summer children were dispersed to camps throughout Britain. Eight of those colonies were in Wales. The welcome they received here was a mixture of hostility and kindness. In Brechfa (Carmarthenshire) there was a notorious incident that confirmed the reluctance of many to accept exiles, while elsewhere in Wales, from Caerleon to Colwyn Bay there were many examples of great generosity.

Book Synopsis The Age of Chivalry by : Hywel Williams
Download or read book The Age of Chivalry written by Hywel Williams and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five hundred years that separate the mid-tenth century from the mid-15th century constitute a critical and formative period in the history of Europe. This was the age of the system of legal and military obligation known as "feudalism," and of the birth and consolidation of powerful kingdoms in England, France and Spain; it was an era of urbanization and the expansion of trade, of the building of the great Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals, of courtly romance and the art of the troubadour, and of the founding of celebrated seats of learning in Paris, Oxford and Bologna. But it was also an epoch characterized by brutal military adventure in the launching of armed pilgrimages to liberate Jerusalem from Muslim control, of the brutal dynastic conflict of the Hundred Years' War and of the devastating pandemic of the Black Death. In a sequence of scholarly but accessible articles--accompanied by an array of beautiful and authentic images of the era, plus timelines, maps, boxed features and display quotes--distinguished historian Hywel Williams sheds revelatory light on every aspect of a rich and complex period of European history.
