    This is where I grew up. I grew up camping in the castle, swimming in the Devil's basin, and spending night after night waiting to see the nun. Good Friday was a great time to go there. Local tradition led dozens of families up there on that day for picnics, etc. My mum still lives in the family home on the edge of the forest.

    A central tenet of English law is "Nemo dat quad non habet", ie you cannot acquire legal ownership from someone who did not have a legal right to ownership himself. Although occupied by Anglicans, Caterbury Catherdral clearly remains a Catholic church. Furthermore the first article of Magna Carta states that the nonarch has no authority over the Church. The majority of the original copies of Magna Carta that were on display in most English cathdrals suddenly disappeared after the Anglicans took them over.

    Having read through the Dream of Rhonabwy in the Mabinogion, I had reconstructed Arthur's journey to the Battle of Badon. And following the clues as best I could, and with the association in The Dream, and at Castle Dinas Bran with crows/ravens I had believed that this must surely have been the site of the battle itself. Sadly, as Steve Blake and Scott Lloyd point out, in their book 'Arthur The Untold Story' my extrapolation of the clues was incorrect, as they have correctly (in my view) identified the Battle of Badon as having taken place at Breidden Hill near Welshpool. I think the name Dinas Bran could actually have derived as another form of the term 'crows nest', as in on board a sailing ship. As the castle has such stunning and commanding views all around, just like the crows nest aboard a ship. The association with the character of King Bran could well be just like the ancient Greek habit of saying that such-and-such was named after King so-and-so (a river for example). When the King actually takes his name from the place, not the other way round. It's a truly beautiful place, somewhere I'd like to visit one day. Thanks for showing us round!
