Faced with this invasion, Llewellyn was forced to surrender.But, as so often in these years, humiliation 2 bred defiance 3. In 1282, the Welshlaunched a surprise attack on an English garrison 4. Edward now bore down again with an even bigger army, but this campaign was far from being a walkover.
译文：爱德华深知，朝臣礼仪象征着王权统治力，他视此为一种羞辱，形同谋反。1276年，自诺曼征服战之后，不列颠规模最大的军队入侵了格温内思，长驱直入其疆界最远端，到达斯诺登地区和安格西岛。面对强敌压境，卢埃林不得不屈膝称臣，但正如这些年一再重演的历史一样，屈辱最终会酝酿出反抗。1282年，威尔士人对英格兰驻军发动了一次突袭，爱德华派遣了更大规模的军队进行镇压，但这场战争绝非想象中那样轻易。
