It still boggles my mind that pop culture seems to think Arthur and Merlin and Vortigern and all those other characters are English [Anglo-Saxon] when in reality they all would have been Welsh.
I mean, is it really surprising?
All those figures may have originated in Welsh mythology and/or folk history, but they gained worldwide popularity through the fictional works of French and English authors (not to mention eventually being picked up by English royalty, including Tudors as something of a fascination) all several centuries after their first confirmed and alleged mentions.
And considering how the authors were only inspired by the Welsh figures in writing their stories, to me personally it's not at all surprising how those figures entered popular imagination as representing England and not Wales.
Another great episode happy to see another series the anarchy was a good one so far this one just as good can’t wait for the next one!!!!
Thank you 😊
So, recently did a deep dive of my genealogy. Found out my paternal grandmothers family line goes back directly to magnus (amongst many other kings/nobles). Goes on for over 3000 years. Nuts. Even crazier when you realize I grew up dirt poor in the Deep South of the US. Figures.
Yo Bro no way. I did a whole bunch of ancestry stuff and on my grampas moms side Magnus Maximus is an ancestor. Small world huh? We both share cool ancestors
Me too bro, my last name traces back directly to Pembroke Castle, and before that to Maximus as well.

Mine too
Reminds me of Medieval total war kingdoms. Amazing job
Wales can be OP in that game if played right.
@@Embracehistoria every faction is OP when I play them.
Dude, you sound like Jaime Lannister, I love it!
Wales forever
Most people in Wales can trace their ancestry all the way back to the 1950s.
