This sounds like a good one. I'm told that authors don't always have a voice in what their books are called, but I suppose everything is part of the "forging of Britain" up until it started to decline. Allegedly, one of my maternal grandfather's ancestors married a daughter of Llywellan ap Gryffudd's daughters, but I suppose someone had to. I played snare drum in s Scottish pipe band for a while, and singing, "Flower of Scotland" (which mocks "proud Edward" is a part of every Highland Games, so now that's in my head. Anyhoo, thanks for another great review.
One of my best friends says family lore has it he's a descendant of Longshanks. I take such claims with skepticism. My family claims kinship with the aristocratic Crawfords of Scotland, making us kin to William Wallace himself. Of course, when I looked into the records, my family was from the geographical area under the Crawfords, hence were almost certainly landless peasants who left after the enclosure movement; at least the timing is right for that. That didn't stop my dad from continuing to claim it as our descent.
