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.
Courtney Rene hey cousins!!! im a direct descendant from father to son. Winn came from John Wynne (1st Baronett), the surname Wynne came from Gwynn, which is shortened from Ap Gwynnedd
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.
I'm not sure what to think about the work of these guys. I don't know anywhere near enough about it to know whether what they are saying is the truth or what everyone else says is the truth. It's interesting stuff though.
I completely agree Alan Wilson and baram Blackett are hero's in my eyes we must spread the word of the massive research that these guys have unearthed out of the hidden past and bring it out into the light cymru am byth
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.
@@NorceCodine the region of Gwynedd was named for an Irish Tribe that had originally inhabited Anglesey during the Roman occupation of Britain called the Venedoti, it was applied by the Romans latterly to the entire North West Region as Venedotia which later through linguistic mutation became Gwynedd. Maelgwn was a King whose father, grandfather and great grandfather over their lifetimes reconquered North Wales for the Britons from Irish Warlords who had conquered it from the Hiberno-Romano-Britons (Irish-Roman-Britons) living there. Maelgwn himself was the first Great king of Gwynedd as he was the first to establish hegemony over other Welsh Kings and set a precedent held by his descendants and later Kings of Gwynedd as de Facto Overlords of Wales.
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 .
at the time of the vikings & BBC netflix lost kingdom,,,, the one true british kingdom was gwynedd,,, the aberffraw dynasty was blessed by popes... gwynedd had many great princes*, rhodri fawr *(King Rhodri the great*) was every bit as much legendary as king alfred the great of england....
Prove it. Too many fake people these days. Cant say shit like that without definitive dna proof, not just 'stories'. So prove that shit before you say shit😂
In the 90s when Britain was about to go bankrupt they tried to offer me the title of Knight of wells and tried to get me to sign papers taking responsibility for the taxes owed by Wales 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Hi. We contacted the project team who gave us the below information. Da Pacem Domine (13th century) Vocals: Lynne Denman, Sille Ilves, Stacey Blythe. Recorded at Stiwdio Felin Fach
The dodgy washed out editing and the unnecessary dated music makes this painful to watch and listen to. What is this, an S4C production? I can't even hear the commentary in this video.
Good to see a good video promoting gwynedd with a local accent.
i am Welsh and very interested in The History of Wales and this video will be of interest to me
When I went to most of those castles I felt a connection. Home I felt.
Sure you wouldn't be more at home on Dagobah? ;) (Sorry...)
This is a great informative film.
Our wonderful Wales.
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. 🙂

So the region Gwynedd is named after Maelgwn, and who was Maelgwn?

There is still a big chunk of welsh history missing, What about the rest of the castles before King Edward the First?
very interested in The History of Wales
darren hardman my dad was Welsh very proud to be half Welsh and half Irish
Then you would want to research my Celtic Willis royal family clan Price hopefully one day we would get back our birthright the throne of Wales🤠
When I think of Wales I think it's a separate country from the UK. The dialect and the language is different.
Well, yes. The UK is four separate countries.
Great video, informative and interesting, beautiful scenery, loved it!
Hywel Dda ap Cadell I may be an ancestor of many of these princes and kings
This is so amazing and cinematic

Eve online tomorrow?..
7:07 Glyndwr's uprising wasn't ' *in the 14th century* ' ; it was actually in the 15th century - (1400-1415)
What is the name of the song at the beginning of the video?
Hi.
We contacted the project team who gave us the below information.
Da Pacem Domine (13th century)
Vocals: Lynne Denman, Sille Ilves, Stacey Blythe.
Recorded at Stiwdio Felin Fach
It would have been nice to have covered the 9-12th centuries better. This was rather 13th century heavy. I'm researching 12th century Wales.
Llwelyn the great my ggf

The dodgy washed out editing and the unnecessary dated music makes this painful to watch and listen to. What is this, an S4C production?
I can't even hear the commentary in this video.
I dont get it is it hard to have a man do these introductions?
this is the reason celtic culture gets femenised by forty year old women
The fuck you going on about?
Ah, the traditional Welsh misogyny!
Be ffwc ti’n fwydro am rob met, gad Bethan neud y siarad os ydi hi isio!
