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. Beginning with the earliest known human burial in Western Europe, the ‘Red Lady of Paviland’, and ending with Wales’ own government, this is an authoritative popular history of Wales. 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. From the rich culture of medieval Wales to the cutting-edge of innovation, this six part series examines issues of power, war and industry. Bitter battles and economic booms forge a vibrant nation with a unique history, culture and identity.

Notes
NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
