As an American of Welsh descent, I am very glad to see a renewed interest in the history of Wales, land of my distant ancestors. I once remarked to a Welshman in Shrewsbury (just across the border) that there certainly a renewed interest in all things Celtic. He answered that this was after all, Merlin's prophecy. He wasn't kidding. Let's hope that if there is a New Age on the horizon for Wales and the Celtic peoples, that is is gloriously peaceful and happy.
Believe in the gods. take the opportunities when they come, and always turn a situation to your advantage, and perhaps that will become a reality. Perhaps Britain has run its course and its time for a new start. I have talked to people from France, who are also Celtic, they have the same idea.
@@ericjohnson7234 What does that even mean?
It has to be said that there were some US presidents of Welsh decent...you can also look up the percentage on how many people of Welsh decent signed the declaration of independence, as a fluent Welsh speaker I appreciate this video but his pronunciation is awful with some place names...I know he tried though.
I to I’m of welsh decent 80 percent I like learning about my ancestors
P
I'm from carmarthen aka morindunum it even has only one of 7 known amphitheatre in the UK. This was a great video and its nice to see people interested in Welsh history.
My Grandfather is the one to thank, he is the reason I love history so much and do what I do, he is from Swansea and remembers Swansea being bombed in WW2.
I remember when Wales Song first became a thing. I was mesmerised by the tremerous warbling sounds and the high pitched melodies. Save The Wales!!!!!!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Just one point. I know the video is about "Wales" but I felt that, when discussing the post-roman period, you could perhaps have spoken of Yr Hen Ogledd (the Old North) to show that at one point "Welsh" language and culture(s) extended from Cornwall to Fife and southern Argyll.
I understand your point, but I wanted to focus on the development of the Welsh kingdoms, given I enjoyed, researching and creating these video's.
I will most likely create videos in the future based off those topics you've mentioned as I already have a good amount of sources for the northern Briton kingdoms.
Tremendous. Look forward to it.
In south-west Wales, it was the Desi tribe from Munster area of Ireland that came there, circa. 400. Can be seen by Ogham script on stones, and place names like Cenarth or Kenarth in West Wales. Wish we knew more. I am sure more information can be found in old scripts in Ireland, somewhere.
There are very distinct parts of the Pembs accent /dialect and phraseology that would immediately make you think of Ireland 👌👍🏻
So in this video, I have fixed a few things, some of the maps are fixed, however, some I could not, in one instance I forgot to include the Kingdom of Ceredigion and Gwynedd spills out over it, the issues with the Viking in Wales video going dark in part is fixed, and in one part at the start when it came to talking about the origins of the word Welsh I said it was from the Anglo-Saxons, this is where two of my sources contradicted each other, anyway enjoy.
Page 69 of John Davies A history of Wales, paragraph two.
Page 10 of The Welsh kings by Kari Maund paragraph three.
Just so you are aware, LL is not pronounced L. The Welsh alphabet has several Digraphs, two letters indicating a single character. LL is one of those, as are DD, FF, CH, NG and so on. These digraphs are important. DD is pronounced as the TH
in English, FF is the short F like in Life, while F in Welsh is a V sound like in Live (and is why we do not have a V in the Welsh Alphabet). PH is similar to the PH in English, while RH is an aspirated R, best way to think about that is treat it like the h in When.
Unfortunately LL is one of those digraphs that does not have an equivalent sound in English, and it is not an easy one to explain either, unlike CH (which also does not exist in the English Language) which is very similar to the hard CH as found in Scots Gaelic in words like Loch, and RH (where the h acts like the H in When).
Best way to explain it is to place the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth, then blow past the tongue, its not quite right but it is close enough to make it a creditable attempt.
R in Welsh is always rolled as well (RH is not). Additionally in most cases Y and W should be treated as vowels not consonants, as W is virtually always treated thus in Welsh, and Y almost always....
Part of the reason many people struggle with pronouncing Welsh is they assume we use the English Alphabet. We do not. While based on the English Alphabet the Welsh Alphabet has significant differences. Being familiar with it can help ones pronunciation of Welsh immensely. You likely will not be perfect, but that is not important, the effort put into trying is, at least to us Welsh.
Not bashing you. I enjoyed the video, diolch yn fawr.
@@alganhar1 I tried my best with the Welsh pronunciations, I did have someone who spoke Welsh send me voice clips on some of the Welsh words like Llangadwaladr, but obviously, I'm not a native speaker of Welsh, my family live in South Wales and unfortunately, none of them speaks Welsh, I appreciate the criticism however, diolch.
@@Embracehistoria I thought documentary was very well presented.
❤
Very informative
However do you realize you have a silhouette of a cat with a word bubble that reads and I quote

You might want to address that lol
This was a fascinating series. I confess I was quite foggy about Welsh early history, but this was illuminating and enjoyable as ever. What series can we expect next?
Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed the series, the next series I'm planning is about the 1st barons war in England.
@@Embracehistoria Splendid. I was hoping it would be a continuation from the Anarchy series into the Angevins or something else Plantagenet, but the First Baron’s War is an excellent topic. It’s often forgotten just how vital the conflict was-the entire ensuing history of the English-speaking world quite literally was saved. The Normans and Plantagenets ought to have a major series with the budget and scope of Game of Thrones. Arguably, no other European dynasty possessed such a string of brilliant and formidable characters; in that sense, they’re only rivaled by the line of Genghis in the East.
What an epic. You're legend. Cheers from Tennessee
Love this documentary, I'm from Dinas Powys and it's been mentioned in so many books and documentary so the castle and earth works must be culturally significant yet the council has let them fall to pieces and are dangerous places to visit now. I loved the CGI animations to! Full on Skyrim/Oblivion vibes! Really enjoyed this, thank you for making it.
Take over the council!
In reference to the bloody rain mentioned at 1:01:01. I found one source that said it’s a phenomenon following a volcanic eruption where ash gets washed in the atmosphere and rains back down even very far from the volcano. I found another source that said there was a layer of volcanic ash in ice core samples from Greenland that are dated to 684.
I cant thank you enough for this comforting doc. It My nan was Welsh. I inadvertently lived in Wales when I was stepping out alone in life.
I learned what cwtch was, and how local Welsh life was scenic and welcoming like family,
I knew the locals moreso than I knew my nan. I would love to return someday.
I live nr Fishbourne and Bignor. My nans family was Irish (Mccarthy) My cats 🐈 name is mittens
Carmarthen. Home of "Merlin" Its just so funny to me why my my mother denied her mum was Welsh, even though she was born and lived in Wales.
My bf at the time also denied that his Dad was Welsh, saying Gwent was English.
It's peculiar how boundaries and identities shift between lifespans and lifetimes.
Like, this was 90s-2000s. We're still debating our own family personal history even now, after all of this History™️

So dési is pronounced like day-shee. The lived near Waterford in southeastern Ireland. They live on as the nickname for Waterford GAA. It’s cool that thousands of years later the name is still used by people in that region of Ireland. I remember learning about them in an Irish history class I took in college.
I took a My Heritage DNA test and I got 53% English, 26.4 Azores Portugal, 8.9 % Irish, Scottish, Welsh mix, and 7.6 % Scandinavian and 4.1 % East European. I was born in the USA. I'm 48 years old.
According to my DNA, I am 14% Wales, 29% Scotland, 59% English and NW Europe, 5% Sweden/Denmark. I just turned 84 but everyone tells me I look in my 60’s. All because of my genes. I would love to visit Wales as this goes way back to my grandfather.
With is strong celtic past thriving Welsh language, mountainous lands and many castles Wales is like something straight out of a
'lord of the rings' book!
Vist the land of your ancestors 😊😊
Enjoyed the artwork and the commentary. Well done 👏 ✔
Thanks for the longer video, love your longer content(short stuff is good too). Your video on the Anarchy is great too. I fall asleep while playing it often. I watched it in full awake first, lol. Thank you!
this is a wonderful video, and I'm glad that Welsh history is getting more recognition.
Thank you for this documentary, very helpful in learning about my ancestry.
cymru y byth from south wales:) great video, be amazing to have an whole series till almost today, unbiased and well researched
Glad you like them!
Wales by far has the best flag in the world. And im scottish lol
This is an amazing video.
Great video man!
Great video 👏👏👏🏴❤
If you look way back there is evidance of the Welsh/Cymru being the original peoples of the UK island.
If you do look well back, you’ll find evidence (E.g. DNA studies) suggests the first peoples (paleolithic Hunter gatherers) were not Welsh at all
@@kronkite1530 There is also evidence saying it was the Welsh. It is a highly disputed subject at the moment.... pick your side.
37 y/o Welsh man speaking 🗣️ This vid is absolutely great to see, I knew quite a bit about Welsh history but this was able to teach me a lot of things and I live that.
I think it’s great seeing the comments about others viewers having ancestral Welsh heritage
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for this. Very interesting. Could I ask the animation sources, presumably PC games? Particularly the nom-battle scenes but interested in both. Thanks
Great stuff
You should do something like this but for the Norman conquest? I really don’t see much about it
MADOC isn't that King Arthur's brother?
Thanks! 🤍

good work ! thx for the lessson
Great info, I didn't know anything about Welsh history. I thoughly enjoyed it. It's interesting that, just as the Greeks, the Welsh also have a myth of their King Glyndur who sleeps in a hidden cave and who will one day liberate them. The myth of the Greeks is about the last Greek emperor of Constantinople which fell to the Muslims in 1453. The myth goes like this: King Constantinos Paleologos was not killed but taken by an agnel and hidden, to retun one day and liberate the City (Polis for the Greeks), Interestingly in the last moments of battle when there were only a few Greek soldiers (and Genovese), the King turned his head to his guard and said "is there no Christian around to take my life?"
Thanks for vid.
BTW : OWAIN is pronounced "Oh-wine" rather than Oh-win/Owen. At least that's the case here in Carmarthenshire/Dyfed.
Yo I’m from San Francisco Ca I was born in Wales Abergaveny or something spelled similar my grandma and grandpa were from Cefn Coed, Merthyr Tydfil Came to America 🇺🇸 with my mom when I was 10 yrs old been here ever since but visited ❤ Wales 🏴 a few times over the years not for 20 years now tho 😢 Love 🏴 still and remember a lot about my first school and the beginning of my life!
My sister (in NJ) told me that she had worked with a girl from Wales. She said to me "Those people who talk funny
and use the double L.
I'm in cefn coed merthyr tydfil , when did your grandparents leave cefn coed ?

5:05 Typo on the map. Suebi, not Seubi.
Mine too
One of my friends is from Wales . Last name Humphries
Is the name Dilys common in Wales? it was my mothers name. I recently looked up the correct pronunciation which my grandmother always spoke it that way. My grandmother was pronouncing my mothers name correctly, it was us children who pronounced it wrong.
Dilys is not overly common here. In all my 60+ years here I've only known 2 or 3. There has been a huge increase in the use of welsh names these days.
My nana last name was Pennaluna(not spelled correctly) I can't seem to find out where this name was in Wales? When I visited near there said it might be of welsh/Roman era. Any ideas anyone?
I know Luna is Latin for light but the penna bit not sure of is origins I hope it was helpful onto friend.
1000th like!

This isn't a doc about corduroy?
The Catholic church - an entity with a strong interest in maintaining the suspension of disbelief - heard these wild tales and thought "Yeah, this is going in the canon."
Very cool to hear names that are on the very top of my family tree. I'm a direct descendant of Cyngals Rhos who was Cuneglasse brother and grandson of Eilion Yrth King of Rhos. My family tree unfortunately ends at Eilion Yrth's father Cunedda Wledig who was a warlord from the north that conquered most of northern wales. Its a bummer that better records weren't kept for genealogy purposes. You would think they would keep better records throughout history to be remembered by future generations
Its still pretty cool to trace my family back to the year 400

@@Embracehistoria ok I'll check that out
MOST INTERESTING INDEED ! FRM , U.K. (2023).
No mention of the Druids or the massacre of them in Anglesey by the Romans, or that the Druid traditions are still practiced to this day, or of the celtic language and the Welsh place names in Cornwall and its sister celtic language !!
I did a DNA test and got 2% from Wales. I’m Hispanic and I got DNA from all over the place but I found the 2% from Wales surprising. I wonder how that got mixed in there instead of English, a global empire back then?
I read it as "The History of Walls"
🇺🇲 I've done alot of research into all branches of my family tree and discovered 2 lines of Welsh heritage going back to the original colonies My mother's mother's family name was Davis . Another surname found was Green/ Greene
Approximately 70% of my ancestry originated in the UK
Yeah... mainly standard english history of the Cymru... you have to throw away the victorian spin of Anglo Saxons as they tried to meld the ancient peoples of these isles into one British union.
MY FAMILY MOVED FROM WALES TO THE USA IN 1638 TO JAMES TOWN AND WEVE LOST THE WELSH LANGUAGE.

34:52 "Since at least 1314 AD" is impossible. Perhaps, 314AD.
Yep, brain fart moment.
@@Embracehistoria I know it must be hard to go back and re-edit these things, but you'll notice: throughout the film, wherever the 4th century is mentioned, the voice says "thirteen". Centuries 5 and 6 seem ok.
Yours is a very good piece of work, and very informative for me, at least for the general idea of that period. If I ever need details abt history or the language, I'll go to books.
I just get distracted by the battle scenes - especially when the text is abt sth else. I then have to stop and roll back to hear again a date or a name.
I also like the humour of the bubbles. :) A comic relief amidst some pretty grim matter.
This is a long film too. I watch it 30 minutes at a time (try to avoid spending too much time before the screen) - a good thing too that you yourself have subdivided it into various parts.
But again, those are incidentals. It's a huge good work, and is very appreciated. Good luck and a happy Christmas!
Thanks, unfortunately I suffer from dyslexia so mistakes like that will happen, so I just have to keep double checking, but some slip through.
Tomorrow I'm telling my friend Columbus discovered it.
I am Welsh, I live in "Morgannwg" and was enlightened and fascinated by this doc. Welsh pronunciation was a good attempt but maybe get a welsh person to give you some better sounding pronunciation of say GWINeth not gwenith for example. It is always a laugh when English speakers try to say Welsh words.
The funny thing is I did, I tried my best.
Like ‘Dim parcio’?!
@@Embracehistoria I’m of welsh decent, but speak English… Welsh pronunciation is hard so Dw. Great vid… but where’s my boy The Once and Future King?
My great grandfather was Welch. WILLIAM SAMSON COOKE
They used to be ichthyosaurs. The end.
Sorry. I couldn't resist. Yes. I am a dad.
I still didn’t quite get the actual origin of this people.
It is worth taking a few hours learning to pronounce Celtic words (Welsh for example is entirely phonetic so this isn't difficult). Otherwise nice video.
I didn’t see any whales in this video. Where are the whales?
They live in the ocean
Not to be THOSE guys but isn't it a "swarm" of bees?
I was going for the religious aspect with the "flock", in hindsight I should have just said swarm.

Information on this post is okay for the story books but, as far from factual as one can get. First, the Irish had very little involvement in the history of Cymru. Secondly, it is a matter of fact that, due to the climate covering the whole of these islands. No Romans would remain on these islands one second longer than need be. The Saxons remained South East of the Islands-and, took decades before the Saxons progressed. Neither the Romans nor the Saxons were successful in Wales generally, as the hilly and mountainous land did not appeal to them.
If you're going to make claims like that you need to post sources. Here are mine, I suggest reading the archaeological reports first.

The Irish were well known raiders. In fact there was a story about how an army of 10,000 men from Hen Ogledd came to north wales to help push the Irish out of ynys mon (Anglesey) and in the process of doing so, they lost some of there own lands to the gaels and the Saxons. The Saxons did get into certain parts of Wales for example “Wrexham” is believed to be an early saxon settlement and comes from the name “Wristleham” which was an motte and Bailey just on the outskirts of the town. However it is believed there was a welsh settlement and the Saxons just took over the area as such. The Saxons were eventually pushed out of this area multiple times.
Actually,the Irish _did_ invaded western Wales (both North and south) and some settled and assimilated

One theory is a Phonecian origin, but DNA studies suggest peoples returning from refugia in Iberia moved back here after the end of the Last Glacial Maxima, then farming stock originating from Anatolia/Asia Minor and Eastern Europe, inc. the Balkans, Albania, etc., before being pretty much done for by the Yamana,who seem to have more or less removed males and/or their ability to breed in a very short time span.
