Description
Huw Edwards presents this major television history of Wales, showing our country in ways it's never been seen before. It's 1485: a young nobleman sails to the land of his fathers from exile in Fran...ce. His mission - to capture the English crown. For the first time, a self-proclaimed Welshman will be King of England. Under the dynasty he founds, Wales becomes united with England. For every generation of Welsh people to come, the consequences are huge. But exactly what it means - for the next 250 years, at least - depends on whether you're a landowner or one of the ordinary people.
