Not a period I am familiar with but an interesting story…

I'm sure I read an article in one of the magazines many moons ago about this battle. Thanks for sharing! |

There are a couple of pages about this battle in a book I've just read 'King Stephen and the Anarchy' by Chris Peers which has a chapter on Wales in this period. The author is of the view that there doesn't seem to be much information on the battle available (other than it was a Welsh victory), and a source that has been taken by some to attribute the Welsh victory to the longbow was written 50 years after the battle and wasn't referring to the battle of Crug Mawr at all. There seems to be a lot more detail in the YouTube video though! |

this is the longest series of posts I've seen on this battle. I think it can make a good wargame with proper preparation, and this is the only detailed post about that I've found:
link Must admit, I have not adapted a battle from this! |
