"Hywel Dda: The Law" by Dafydd Jenkins explores the enduring legacy of one of medieval Wales' most visionary rulers-King Hywel Dda (Hywel the Good). Renowned for his codification of Welsh law in the 10th century, Hywel's legal system was a remarkable blend of tradition, justice, and innovation, reflecting the values of Welsh society.

In this authoritative work, Jenkins delves into the origins, principles, and influence of Hywel's laws, offering a fascinating glimpse into medieval Welsh governance, social order, and legal thought. Meticulously researched this is an essential read for historians, legal scholars, and anyone intrigued by Wales' rich cultural heritage.

Discover how a king's pursuit of justice shaped a nation-and why his laws still resonate today.
