{"product_id":"9781848518209","title":"Dinefwr - A Phoenix in Wales","description":"The title, Welsh Phoenix: Dinefwr and its Families, was chosen after much thought. It is intended to convey the extraordinary roller-coaster careers of the two families associated with Dinefwr and the estate. Dynastic catastrophes in 1093, 1277-87 and especially 1531, each of them part of the history of Wales, were all overcome in one way or another, while the seemingly inevitable 20th century decline and break-up of the estate demesne was dramatically transformed at the last moment. Dinefwr has re-emerged from disaster after disaster.\n\nDinefwr shares many features common to the larger landed estates in Wales: the involvement in politics, the improvements in agriculture, the philanthropy and the place in the landscape. But Dinefwr has a greater story to tell as a witness to Welsh history, and that over a period of nearly a thousand years. Its landscape and buildings are vivid testimonies to a past during which greater and lesser princes fought to maintain a basic independence from foreign rule, and in which a successor lineage of seventeen generations of the same landowning family gained, lost, regained and lost their roles, leaving a landscape to be cherished.","brand":"Gerald Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52492677087496,"sku":"9781848518209","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/8519\/2712\/files\/9781848518209.jpg?v=1770799367","url":"https:\/\/www.ffolio.wales\/products\/9781848518209","provider":"ffolio.wales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
