Thought, with the ruler-like meaning, what if the title was a adhoc title to designate a ruler without stepping on any toes of previously established powers, like Rome, but as it became more certain they were the power the need because less needed

Fun drinking game drink every time he says Arthur. But drive to the ER before you start.

Country ruler? Goverment official in untamed lands maybe?

its not missing, its next to B

“Never heard of it? That’s ok it hasn’t heard of you either” LMAO

Calling it a sea is a bit of a stretch

This is just the kind of stuff i like to watch, so random and meaningless yet so fun and historical!

Caseoh drank all the water

I need a video that has a lesson in why you shouldnt rely on wikipedia and then ACTUALLY gives some directions on what to use and how, as its clear it gets real messy when you go even a layer down and take a book at face value, and trying to actually find a measure of truth in a web of references when the original one could be shooting guesses at random isnt very convincing either.

This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite history channels on youtube. Super high quality content about one specific and fairly niche topic, but I'm all here for it.

Inserting fanfiction into the academic journal you are editing is kind of beast. (Sort of reminds me of Apopudobalia, which is a fake ancient greek version of football found in the german standard encyclopedia of the ancient mediterranean)

How cool would the Union Jack be if here was a Welsh dragon on about 1/4 of it?

6:50 Just to note that I think you meant when the page on Cadwaladr was first created. The Wikipedia page for the Flag of Wales is much, much older than 2013.

As someone who has been doing genealogical research since I was 12, this sounds a lot like what often happens on family tree websites like Ancestry. Since most people doing family history "research" are not historians they don't think about digging into sources for verification, which leads to information just being accepted at face value often even when it doesn't make sense. I have run into information just being completely made up and it still gets regurgitated across thousands of family trees, or people make connections that aren't actually there because of wishful thinking.

Well this was a rollercoaster😂

I mean, at this point are most of these people really historians? I'm pretty sure that implies some sort of academic rigour, or at least it should.

13:11 Well, can you? Don't leave a man hanging like that..

Dive for þe Islands now.

Seems Wikipedia has been updated since this video came out. It even mentions Teyrnllwg, and traces it to Iolo Morganwg. Doesn't credit your video, however.

According to Wikipedia, it means 'lord, prince, king, or ruler' of a specific area

What about march lord? Border lord? Like a marquess? Rather than 'of the country' does 'of the wild lands' work? If it denotes people who hold back barbarians then it would be both something to take pride in...and something to not call yourself a decade or generation later when those barbarians are intermarried and/or your best trading markets? That seems to apply in all but a couple of the cases of the 15, who could be assumed to have inherited the duties, be a regent for someone else who is expected too, be rich enough to do it, or a good enough administrator to keep a border raid repelling army around? Just a thought that occured to me while watching.

Annwn Ddeez Nutz.

Seems to me that Edward Yolo Williams might have made an honest screwup here. Quack authors are notorious for kicking off cascades of conesequences with mere slips of the pen (or the memory) even when other stuff in their work may be actual fraud.

I would rather my kingdom were the "Land of the Gleaming Hilt" than the miserable "Countryside". The Romans were godawful at names. Although, once the literal meaning is lost, "Powys" is OK.

17:27 / 18:25

in my mind this video is #1 on trending

Thank you for this brief but enlightening detective story! In an age of "alternative facts" it's critical to know HOW we know what we THINK we know. Described as Chasing Down Fakes it sounds exciting (which it is) but you'll just put folks to sleep if you call it "epistemology" (which it also is).

Teyrnllwg shall rise again!

I'm surprised he didn't drown due to the immense weight of his balls

Watch it be something stupidly easy, like speaking a certain Welsh dialect well. Something that could easily get lost over a few generations.

"Because i ate flesh, I am become flesh" is this an oppenheimer reference? 28:50

Its like how NNN is based off not-sea propaganda and people have no idea what they are taking part in.

High and low prestige languages is why French is spoken in Brussels today and not the native Dutch. Not many Dutch words made it into the French spoken in Brussels either, only a few such as the word for mayor.

There are a load of places, mostly islands, that are sort of but mot really part of somewhere else. The real problem's the rule of tincture. The current Welsh flag is a simplified version of Henry VII's (booo!) standard.

There is also evidence that the British and Saxon nobility intermarried which would further explain why British Celtic culture was partially absorbed into the Anglo Saxon culture as well and anglicized Celtic names of rulers

I think it means, the country man, or the nationalist, or the Patriot, denoting a particular dedication to ones country, maybe it means a particularly good ruler, especially one of the past.

it can be translated as woldy (MnE) or wealdig (OE). pretty much forest-y (of a forest, or rural area).

I can't quite explain why, but I'm getting Jon Bois vibes from the editing style.

Hmm. Is there archaeology on the wreakin backing up this theory? Evidence of use as a settlement beyond roman times ?

This dude got some mad editing skills.

I dont have a crumb of context about anything Wales so I watched this but still went OOOH!

I literally have no knowledge nor great interest in the history of Britain (or whatever it is even called) and yet these videos are very interesting. You tell the history and the mysteries associated so well.

A Wale of a tale!!

“It is in these farms that we can find what is now one of the symbols of Wales…” The dragon? “…the leek” Oh right, yeah

389 million minutes ago 😂

11:40 did you say "donate" instead of "denote"? 😂😂😂😂

Maybe as chosen/proven by their country's traditions? Country-like = traditionally proven. It might just be that there was some right of passage that rulers needed to display that was almost lost, and then had a brief resurgence before being lost completely?

I was not expecting to be so enthralled by this video, but damn this was great. Love the broccumentary-style editing, but with the bonus flair. ❤

Wales...the land where everyone has a "thousand yard stare"..😁
