Story of Wales, The

Synopsis: Six part series presented by BBC News at Ten newsreader Huw Edwards who tells the story of Wales from prehistoric times to the emergence of a modern nation.

It’s a journey through Viking, Saxon and Norman invasions, Hywel Dda’s united Wales, Owain Glyndwr’s rebellion, the heart of the Tudor court, coal mines, Welsh language campaigns and present day devolution.
