As an American of Welsh descent, I am very glad to see a renewed interest in the history of Wales, land of my distant ancestors. I once remarked to a Welshman in Shrewsbury (just across the border) that there certainly a renewed interest in all things Celtic. He answered that this was after all, Merlin's prophecy. He wasn't kidding. Let's hope that if there is a New Age on the horizon for Wales and the Celtic peoples, that is is gloriously peaceful and happy.

Just so you are aware, LL is not pronounced L. The Welsh alphabet has several Digraphs, two letters indicating a single character. LL is one of those, as are DD, FF, CH, NG and so on. These digraphs are important. DD is pronounced as the TH in English, FF is the short F like in Life, while F in Welsh is a V sound like in Live (and is why we do not have a V in the Welsh Alphabet). PH is similar to the PH in English, while RH is an aspirated R, best way to think about that is treat it like the h in When. Unfortunately LL is one of those digraphs that does not have an equivalent sound in English, and it is not an easy one to explain either, unlike CH (which also does not exist in the English Language) which is very similar to the hard CH as found in Scots Gaelic in words like Loch, and RH (where the h acts like the H in When). Best way to explain it is to place the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth, then blow past the tongue, its not quite right but it is close enough to make it a creditable attempt. R in Welsh is always rolled as well (RH is not). Additionally in most cases Y and W should be treated as vowels not consonants, as W is virtually always treated thus in Welsh, and Y almost always.... Part of the reason many people struggle with pronouncing Welsh is they assume we use the English Alphabet. We do not. While based on the English Alphabet the Welsh Alphabet has significant differences. Being familiar with it can help ones pronunciation of Welsh immensely. You likely will not be perfect, but that is not important, the effort put into trying is, at least to us Welsh. Not bashing you. I enjoyed the video, diolch yn fawr.

It’s often forgotten just how vital the conflict was-the entire ensuing history of the English-speaking world quite literally was saved. The Normans and Plantagenets ought to have a major series with the budget and scope of Game of Thrones. Arguably, no other European dynasty possessed such a string of brilliant and formidable characters; in that sense, they’re only rivaled by the line of Genghis in the East.

It's interesting that, just as the Greeks, the Welsh also have a myth of their King Glyndur who sleeps in a hidden cave and who will one day liberate them. The myth of the Greeks is about the last Greek emperor of Constantinople which fell to the Muslims in 1453. The myth goes like this: King Constantinos Paleologos was not killed but taken by an agnel and hidden, to retun one day and liberate the City (Polis for the Greeks), Interestingly in the last moments of battle when there were only a few Greek soldiers (and Genovese), the King turned his head to his guard and said "is there no Christian around to take my life?"

My husband has taken his Ydna and I have been tracking where his ancient ancestors traveled. It seemed his ancestor came in a circle from upper Powys across northern Gwynned about 850 and then down into mid Deheubarth about 1000 ce but then went back up into Northern Deheubarth around 1300 before moving down into Carmarthen. I'm trying to study Deheubarth History between 1000 and 1300 ce. Is there anything in this time period that stand out? War, Famine, Plague? Why would there be a steady progression South to go North and back South again? Does it connect to a specific historical event?

Information on this post is okay for the story books but, as far from factual as one can get. First, the Irish had very little involvement in the history of Cymru. Secondly, it is a matter of fact that, due to the climate covering the whole of these islands. No Romans would remain on these islands one second longer than need be. The Saxons remained South East of the Islands-and, took decades before the Saxons progressed. Neither the Romans nor the Saxons were successful in Wales generally, as the hilly and mountainous land did not appeal to them.

The Irish were well known raiders. In fact there was a story about how an army of 10,000 men from Hen Ogledd came to north wales to help push the Irish out of ynys mon (Anglesey) and in the process of doing so, they lost some of there own lands to the gaels and the Saxons. The Saxons did get into certain parts of Wales for example “Wrexham” is believed to be an early saxon settlement and comes from the name “Wristleham” which was an motte and Bailey just on the outskirts of the town. However it is believed there was a welsh settlement and the Saxons just took over the area as such. The Saxons were eventually pushed out of this area multiple times.
