Description
Abstract (cited)
This article compares the features of ethnic administration in high medieval Wales to contemporary regions across Eurasia. It argues that although ethnic administration in Wales had many similarities to other Eurasian border regions, it developed uniquely and these unique features allowed the Welsh system to endure into the sixteenth century. It also asserts that while the ethnic administrative system in Wales did not prevent acculturation, it allowed for the persistence of ethnic difference and thereby curbed any possibility for total assimilation between the English and Welsh communities.
