About the author

John Edward Morris (1859-1933) was a schoolmaster and historian. He graduated in 1882 from Magdalen College, Oxford (D.Litt. 1905), and was, till 1923, a master at Bedford Grammar School. His chief work is The Welsh Wars of Edward I, extending to 1295, with an introduction on the previous struggles between the Welsh and the Normans. The book is concerned not only with the actual fighting but also with the recruiting, the financing, and the equipment of the armies; and it is based not only on chronicles but also on record-material.

Reviews

[Ivan Monckton · Rating 5 out of 5]

A superb book that I was amazed to see, after I finished reading it, was written in 1901. The amount of work and scholarship involved in the book is phenomenal, and the bringing together of so much minutiae on campaigns that took place over 700 years ago into a readable narrative is a work of genius. If you are interested in the colour and value of individual cavalry horses from the late 1200s, this is the book for you!

[William Shep · Rating 4 out of 5]

A military history classic that still holds up. This edition is well put together.
