Greetings from Hungary! The welsh and hungarian history has a lot in common, especially when we talk about foreign occupation… In the 19th century, after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49, Emperor Franz Joseph asked of our poets (János Arany) to write a “praise-poem” about him, and he wrote one called “The bards of Wales”. The poem is a metaphor for the Habsburg rule over Hungary. In the ballad Edward I visits the newly conquered Wales and demands the bards to praise him, but every single one of them sings about his tyranny. Later the king sends 500 bards to death, but he becomes crazy beacuse of the remorse.

1:04:00 they did NOT style themselves as princes in subservience to England. Prince is short for princep as in governor in Latin. This enraged the British and it meant king of kings for the welsh. So far this is the only mistake I have found in the entire video up to this point. Good job!

Tiny (possible) correction at 1:04:10 when it is stated that the use of “Prince” was a sign of a defiance because it is derived from Princeps in Latin and would connote a status above just a king of a region. Once Cymru was fully taken over, the title’s meaning was changed from “the first man” to essentially “first in line”. I could be wrong but this is the way I’ve seen the evolution of “Prince of Wales” explained before in some sources (Edited time stamp) (Second edit) I think this is also backed up by the recorded and translate word/speech starting 1:11:30

So much information to process at one time but very worth it as an American I love studying history and learning about the world and it's origins

Was just playing medieval total war 2 Britannia as Wales and decided I wanted to learn more and then this popped up. Perfect timing, I appreciate all the time and effort that goes into these videos. Keep up the good work.

You guys have little to no videos about Scottish history, I along with likely many others would like to see a series about Scotland.

"Gather round and hear my story..." Askeladd, probably.

I found this video after I listened to the 'Alfred the great' episode on Hacks From the Past podcast. I could not believe that I had not heard these stories before. English history is so fascinating! Both that podcast and this video got me very hyped about medieval history stories.

i love to video but I think you made one small mistake. when the title of 'price of Wales ' was declared, 'Prince' wasn't a title considered lower than a king but actually a title previously used by the Roman emperor, thus a deliberate ploy to declare a higher standing than the king of England (at least that's what a very convincing KZread video i watched said)

King Arthur was a Romano Briton who fought back the Anglo Saxons so by today's standard he was most definitely Welsh. There is a stained glass window of him in Llandaff Cathedral, Cardiff. He is depicted next to King Tewdrig of Morgannwg (a martyr and Saint) and Cadwlader, the famed last King of the Britons.

"The Red Dragon of Cadwaladr" does not exist. The flag was first used by Henry Tudor, and was inspired by Owain's golden dragon, and a possibly used Red Dragon on black background design, which followed the tale of Dinas Emrys. He added the green and white to symbolise the Tudor Rose in the flag's colours. The myth of Cadwaladr using a red dragon flag is extremely subscribed too, considering no accounts from Cadwaladr's reign describe him ever flying such a flag.

The last speaker only spoke cornish and no English but they was lots that spoken both and they ate forgotten as cornish was still spoken by fisherman in the late 19th century and by 1920s the revival began and there are now over a 1000 fluent and 1000s that speak some cornish and we fought two big battles against England in the C15 and C16 as my 15th great grandad had his head chopped off for one of the battles for attacking London.
