Cymru am byth.

Glad to listen to a person who grew up speaking Welsh (North West welsh) as a first language, talking about our own history.

Well, now I want to visit Snowdonia. I think I will. 🙂

Just found out through my family tree that these princes were my ancestors :) Lovely to find out about them

Native Welsh Lives Matter! Even though I am white, I have experienced racism and discrimination from the English all my life. Wales is England's last remaining colony. All other colonies have been granted their independence years ago. Unfortunately, we haven't. 1, 000 years since the invasion. That's a whole lot of years of oppression, murder and the attempted genocide of our language and culture. But we're still here, just. We urge all ex-colonials, to help us drive the English out. Sadly, the quaint old castles you see in Wales were English military bases from which troops would ride out and massacre the native Welsh. They were places where our ancestors were tortured, too.

Would love to see a video of the Princes of Powys.

Every Welsh person needs to look into Wilson and Blackett's work on the two king Aurthurs.
Plenty of videos on here about it. Our history has been hidden from us by our conquerors.

Sorry just noticed a couple of errors in your video, 625 is the death date of Cadfan ap Iago and 634 was the death date of Cadwallon ap Cadfan they were respectively great and 2nd great grandsons of Maelgwn Gwynedd, and that Maelgwn died in 547. Also 1055 was the birth year of Gruffydd ap Cynan not the beginning of his reign, he had multiple reigns his first starting in 1075 as he was overthrown or taken captive multiple times by allies and foes alike. Further I believe the image of the King used when talking about Llywelyn III at 5:48 was of a 14th century illustration of Macsen Wledig from the Book of Hours.

my mother is a howell it was translated from welsh to Hywel finding out that Hywel house of Gwynedd is a great grandfather is simply a crazy thought but its true .

[yasminrasool]

There is still a big chunk of welsh history missing, What about the rest of the castles before King Edward the First?

[Shaw]
