英国民族15

 

Nations（1216~1348）

威尔士, 苏格兰 和爱尔兰在放弃取走他们的民族统一身份之后，统一了他们的思想，宣言要从Edward I残暴统治下独立。 苏格兰对英格兰发动战争，并请威尔士加盟一同反对他们的最高统治者。而这却导致了爱尔兰血灾。威尔士，紧接着苏格兰，一个个倒在爱德华一世的铁锤下。爱德华一世建立了自罗马以来的最强大的帝国系统。

The crown had won, but only after overcoming Kenilworth's mighty defences in a siege that lasted nine months. But Edward had been given a serious early lesson in the political realities of England. He had never gotten cringed before the barons, but he would have to make them his allies. As partners, they would go on to create an English empire of their own, the reincarnation of Roman Britannia. In 1274, Edward I's coronation finally took place in a magnificent sanctuary created by his father. The Westminster in which he was crowned would, if Edward had anything to do with it, be the capital not just of England, but of Britain. It was in Wales that Edward first made the seriousness of his ambitions, crystal clear. Here, the dominant Prince was Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, ruler of the mountainous kingdom of Gwynedd, Greater Snowdonia. Knowing that the difficult, not to say impossible terrain of his country had been the graveyard of English armies, Llywelyn was determined to resist attempts to subdue central Wales.
