The division heightened with the coming of the Romans as Dobunni accepted Roman rule but the Silures carried out a successful guerilla campaign against the invaders. The arrival of the Saxons pushed the people that came to be called the Welsh back through the county, so that when the Normans took control, they found an unruly land that demanded their full attention and building of border castles by the Marcher Lords. Throughout the medieval period Herefordshire was fought over by Viking, Norman and Welsh, culminating in the rebellion of Owain GlyndÅ r. Civil wars also played out among the green fields of Herefordshire, from the Anarchy of the twelfth century, to the War of the Roses and the Civil War of the seventeenth century. Later, Herefordshire supplied many men for Britain's armed forces in its county regiments, not least in the World Wars of the twentieth century and the county is a fitting home for the Special Air Service, the most feared unit in the British Army.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to all those who would like to know more about Herefordshire's remarkable military history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Phelps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1398126330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781398126336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs","brand":"David Phelps","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084084945151,"sku":"9781398126336","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/herefordshires-military-heritage-david-phelps-9781398126336","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
