ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ journalist Jeremy Bowen returns home to Wales in search of what it means to be Welsh. In this final episode of the series, Jeremy examines the relationship between the Welsh and a peoples who have done more to shape the nation's identity than any other: the English. Wales and England have a very different relationship than England has with Scotland. There are many reasons why. The foundations of the modern relationship lie in the 1200s, when Edward I sent his army to defeat the last Welsh prince, and conquer his land and people. It's been a complicated relationship ever since. Featuring contributions from Euryn Roberts, Rhys Jones, Rebecca Thomas, Martin Johnes, Uzo Iwobi and Jac Larner. Produced by Glyn Tansley
