| | GO BRITANNIA! Wales: Welsh Literature - Arthuriana |
 | | The Norman Conquest of Wales brought about a literary renaissance that encompassed a wide area, including not only writings on history, but also on law, medicine and healing, geography, the lives of the saints and theology. |
 | | By far the greatest contribution of Norman Wales to world literature, however, is the body of works known as the "Arthuriana". |
 | | What was not known outside Wales for many centuries, however, was the body of magical literature that is now known as "The Mabinogion". |
