Great video, it is said that Maelgwyn, The great King reigning among the Britons in the region of Gwynedd, Wales, was a descendant of Cunedda / Cundag who had come from the northern part 146 years before, ( 5th Century )from the region called Manaw Gododdin. In modern times the area of Eidyn south of the Firth of Forth I think.

Diolch fella....Y Gododdin is a key text in the story of these islands....

Omg! Im so glad I found you. I just dove into all this after meeting a very interesting family that is also part of my lineage and they told me about this. My friend actually calls himself the last of the Gododins or Goddards. Thank you

Great video! You should start uploading again

Love the video. Since I was young, long ago, I was always reading of British history, the various legends and folklore, everything I could get my hands on and it all fascinated and inspired me. Now, in my 60's, it's still a lot that way, though I have many other mysteries to research and delve into. I was also very satisfied with touring the country and legendary places in my late 20's to early 30's as in feeling drawn there, yet I am an American with some ancestry there with the Hatfield's and Wilson's. Thanks again.

Personally, I am in Oz. I have ancestors from Germany, Scotland, Ireland and England, but it was from about 4 generations back on all branches so I don't have any identity other than Australian. BUT, even I, at that distance, feel enough affinity with the history of Briton, to have read alot of relevant history and literature. Including Y Gododdin, in recent weeks. It is not a narrative of the battle(s) of Cattraeth; rather, an extended set of eulogies to the fallen among the Goddodin, and their allies. Which makes it a far more personal and human poem, as its focus is not about the slaying and the decapitations, but about the people. If it is so that Scottish kids are not taught about that period of history, and are not made aware of Y Goddodin, that is indeed a stunning shame. Were I from gaelic background, and actually lived in those parts .. Ireland, Wales, Scottland, I reckon I would feel compelled to become acquainted with it, and revel in the history!

Facinating !! 👌👌

He's not wrong, when you learn the history, it changes things.

Thank you for sharing these amazing stories and places!

exactly. The poem does imply that, but as it isn't a story of the battle, but a eulogy for those 363, it is a vague on such details.

It's great that you are interested in this stuff, but I'll bet it makes you cringe when people say Eedinburg or Loth-AY-un. So it's a nice touch to do your research on pronunciations BEFORE you make the video, so Welsh speakers or Gaelic speakers, or whatever, don't have to cringe. It's more respectful, and people will respect you more. Here's some help - Y Gododdin: "uh Go-DO-thin" (Both "o"s rhyme with "go", hard th - you nearly had it right!) Mynyddog: MUH-nuh-thog (dd is always hard th, ddog rhymes with dog) Mwynfawr: MUIN-vower (rhymes with shower) Din Eidyn (Welsh): Deen AY-duhn (AY rhymes with say) Dùn Èideann (Gaelic): Doon EE-juhn Catraeth: ca-TRITHE (rhymes with Blythe) Keep up the good work!

Is it true that gold from welsh hills .Mountain is the verry best in the world m8?.even uks queens ..kings gold comes from wales pal..?

welsh history

mynyddog is pronounced as 'Mun' (as in munster) 'uh' and the last bit the 'dd' sound is similar to 'th' so would be similar to 'thog' sounds like dog. Mwyn would sound like coin with an 'm' fawr would sound like replacing the 'h' in hour with a 'v'. Therefore it would sound something phonetically like 'mun-uh-ddog moin-vour. Hope that helps.

When you trace Davies name back goes to this area an peoples . Which is very interesting as my other name is walker sheep farmers from Yorkshire briganties tribe who also were in south lreland . thing is who ever re started Rome back up after its collapse from lreland maybe had a alliance with Rome double attack plus Saxons only came when holy Rome empire was setup in Germany another arm maybe all focus on wiping out brothonic peoples but why now that's another rabbit hole worth going down as a rewrite of the Bible was done in 4 th century I think alot this has to do with this an the versions of Christianity being preach first came to UK with Joseph the tin miner plus the grand mare of Jesus from these same folks now why would they try to denied this history. maybe them Irish who restarted Rome an paddy converted wanted to end knogladge but not sure because of driuds still learning but also how these peoples all became prodstant no surrender aye maybe a term use for a long time an how books like kolbrin with Egyptian text were the great book was burnt an replace with new version almost became Hersey ...but who hide the kolbrin well these guys went on to do alot in Scotland an else where maybe comes down to power plays heard that Mercia might.been started by the vandles all I no is that msm an others don't want to mention history of these lands that we all knew totally wiping it out
