Never in a hundred years did I think Kings and Generals would cover the history of my small but proud yet forgotten nation. Thank you, Cymru am byth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[LlywelynapGruffydd]

As a history Geek who is critical of most YouTube videos relating to Welsh history, i cant find anything to moan about with this. Spot on, well done dude.

[jamtraptabogin]

Diolch (thanks) for this video. It's great seeing my country discussed and it's ties to medieval Europe.

[erwanmarie]

Woah, as a French (Brittany/Normandy) who has lived 17 years in London and visited parts of Wales I had never really grasped how great the Welsh history was, thanks to this channel I
will never look at this people the same way ever again!

[Smithy]

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!

[wirhymes]

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.

Need a video like this for Scotland, focused on the parallel but often separate history of the lowland and highland population

[szeplakizeta]

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.

[avenaoat]

We Hungarians remember about a big Hungarian poet Arany János who wrote a big poem about the bards of Walles to show the resistance against the Habsburgian Empire in 1857.
