{"product_id":"history-of-conwy-iolo-wyn-griffiths-9781546667407","title":"History of Conwy","description":"The story of the town of Conwy in North Wales, from its origin as a monastery founded in an uninhabited location to the present day.Edward I saw the strategic potential of the location, as it controlled the estuary of the Conwy river, so founded a castle, with its associated English settlement.The colourful story includes the betrayal of Richard II, the audacious hijacking of the castle on April Fool's Day 1401, and a Royalist Archbishop who helped the Roundheads in taking the town and castle.Travel and transport are another major theme for the town's history, being a port, and also a vital link for travellers across North Wales, who needed to cross the river.While the castle and the town walls are an obvious attraction, being a World Heritage Site, the medieval Aberconwy House, and the Elizabethan Plas Mawr are also a must for history buffs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iolo Wyn Griffiths\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1546667407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781546667407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.14d","brand":"Iolo Wyn Griffiths","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436858814719,"sku":"9781546667407","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0b8a3c1-c28d-4d6c-98a1-62ae27cd7a34.jpg?v=1777158247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-of-conwy-iolo-wyn-griffiths-9781546667407","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
