Edward, who needed no tutorials on the connections between ceremonies and power, immediately took this as a slap in the face, an act of virtual rebellion. In 1276, a huge army, the biggest seen in Britain since the Norman Conquest, invaded Gwynedd, penetrating 1 right to its furthest corners, to Snowdonia and to Anglesey. Faced with this invasion, Llewellyn was forced to surrender. But, as so often in these years, humiliation 2 bred defiance 3. In 1282, the Welsh launched 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.
