Princess Anna of Georgia, with her children, her sister, Varvara, and others of the royal entourage, were enjoying their usual vacation at their summer home. Though warned by the Russian military of dangerous militants in the area, the group remained until disturbing rumors finally convinced them to leave. But they had waited too long. While making their final preparations for departure, they were attacked by a band of tribesmen. Here, in this essay by acclaimed British historian Fitzroy Maclean is the story of the abduction of Princess Anna, her five children, her sister, and their French governess by leader Imam Shamil and members of the Muslim tribes of the Northern Caucasus, a fierce anti-Russian force.

The Welsh princes were one of the most important ruling elites in medieval western Europe. This volume examines their behaviour, influence and power in a period when the Welsh were struggling to maintain their independence and identity in the face of Anglo-Norman settlement. From the mid-eleventh century to the end of the thirteenth, Wales was profoundly transformed by conquest and foreign 'colonial' settlement. Massive changes took place in the political, economic, social and religious spheres and Welsh culture was significantly affected. Roger Turvey looks at this transformation, its impact on the Welsh princes and the part they themselves played in it. Turvey's survey of the various aspects of princely life, power and influence draws out the human qualities of these flesh and blood characters, and is written very much with the general reader in mind.
