Homepage How it works Motorcycle hire What can you see? ... Welsh Facts Welsh History and Culture A proud and passionate nation We Welsh have a strong sense of our history. Maybe it’s because of all those invasions. We’ve seen the Romans, the Saxons, the Vikings the Normans, the English and even the French army came and had a go back in 1797 when they tried to invade Fishguard. Despite all this, we still stand a proud and resilient bunch. We’ve looked after the remains of our past. You’ll discover ancient castles where famous battles were fought, fortresses built to keep invaders at bay, as well as more modern records of the industrial revolution, like our coal mines. We really can’t do justice to thousands of years of fascinating history, so here is just a taster looking at some of the most interesting stories and people. You can find out more by using the links at the bottom of the page. Owain Glyndwr No look at our history is complete without reference to Owain Glyndwr, the last native Welsh person to hold the title Prince of Wales. A descendant of the princes of Powys, in 1400 he instigated a brave revolt against English rule. Initially it was successful but the uprising was eventually quashed by the English. Glyndwr was last seen in 1412 and was never captured.

UK Phonebook GUIDE BOOKS Pitkin Guides London TRAVEL SERVICES Airport Transfers Car Rental The Long Struggle for Identity: The Story of Wales and its People by Peter N. Williams, Ph.D. The history of Wales is primarily a story of struggle. It is a tribute to the people of Wales' determination to survive against overwhelming odds a struggle reflected not only in its castle-dominated landscape and its surviving Celtic language, but also in its long literary history. Created in a time when the flood of Germanic pagan invaders from the continent threatened to destroy Christian Celtic civilization in Britain, its history continued through the depredations of the Vikings, the invasions of the Normans, the oppression of the powerful Marcher Lords, and the ever-constant, ever threatening power of the English people and the English language. The early literature of Wales, documenting the beginnings of that struggle, was followed by a millennium and a half of writing that tells of the survivors the Welsh people themselves a people that Dylan Thomas, in the 20th century, praised as "not wholly bad or good." It tells the story of a people who have managed to retain much of their fullness of spirit despite a very early loss of most of their territory and political independence. It tells the story of a people who are still struggling to avert the loss of their ancient culture and language upon which much of that culture depends.

A celebration of all things Celtic - Irish, Scottish, and Welsh culture, history, and arts The Celtic Place Welsh history Welsh History- The History of Wales over the Periods History of Wales since prehistoric times There can be found remains from the Neolithic period as well as from the Bronze Age and Iron Age in Wales. Material remains of the period 3500 to 1000 B.C. particularly the funerary monuments- chambered tombs throw some light about Wales in the prehistoric times. These provide indications of simple regional manifestations of features characteristic of Britain region as a whole of the times. From the late Bronze Age onwards there seems to have started an influx of the Celtic-speaking people though perhaps not in very big numbers. Metalwork associated with feasting and military skills has been found at Llyn Fawr and Llyn Cerrig Bach. There has also been found a broad distribution of fortified sites. These indicate a stratified but politically fragmented, warlike society. Such social characteristics prevailed in Wales up to the Roman period. The period between the first and fourth centuries had been the period of Roman Wales. Similar Roman culture as that of other parts of Britain prevailed. However, the Mediterranean culture can be exemplified best in Southern Wales. Important Roman towns flourished here.

HISTORY,or 1282 and all that!! Undoubtedly the best book on Welsh history in recent years is that of Dr. John Davies, "Hanes Cymru", or, in its English translation, "A History of Wales". It covers the entire span of Welsh history from pre-history and the Red Lady of Paviland to modern times and the miners' strike of 1984. It's a book well worth reading or even just dipping into for information about any particular period. As I can't hope to emulate John Davies's scholarship I've just put together a few significant dates in Welsh history which you may not be aware of. It is believed that Dewi Sant . (St David), our patron saint lived during this period. There are many churches dedicated to him throughout Wales, including the cathedral at St David's ( Tyddewi ). In the Middle Ages, 3 pilgrimages to St. David's was equivalent to one to Rome. His day is celebrated on 1st March and is known as Dydd Gwyl Ddewi During this period Hywel Dda (Hywel the Good) formulated the laws which were used throughout Wales until Edward I enforced the use of English law. The laws of Hywel Dda were more enlightened than some of the English laws which replaced them Prince Madog is alleged to have sailed the Atlantic and discovered America and left descendants among the Indian tribes there Prince Llywelyn ( Llywelyn ein Llyw Olaf ), the last of the Princes of Wales was killed in battle at Cilmeri. His baby daughter Gwenllian was taken by Edward I's forces and kept in a convent in Lincolnshire for the remainder of her life (50+ years!) to prevent her being a focus of rebellion by the Welsh against their English conquerors

During the early years A.D., the country was in turmoil with the Roman invasions, and the biggest defenses that the Welsh had were the deep, dark hills scattered all over the country. Without the safety of these hills, Wales would certainly have been taken over by the Romans. After the Romans left Wales, the Vikings presented a new threat to the peaceful lands of Wales. The Romans also had a huge effect on the Welsh religion and language. Wales was affected both negatively and positively by these invasions. When the Romans left Wales in the 4th century, they left it unprotected against the Saxons, Picts and Irish Goidel tribes. The end of the Roman Empire meant the beginning of a Dark Age for Wales (Thomas, 1986, p. 13).
