    Wonderful video highlighting the obvious. The Llandaff charters show the attendees of the land grants to the church. With one page reading- ' Be it known to the people of southern Britain, that Athrwys king of the region of Gwent....etc'. It really is pure sour grapes and childishness the way this link to King Arthur has to be put down and dismissed by academia. They refuse to properly examine the vast corroborative evidence. Heck even the 'Bruts of England' say he was crowned king of Glamorgan. They try to muddy the waters by messing around with the dates, ridiculing sources, and have an instant mindset to not find him. Its almost laughable if it wasnt so tragic. Mad thing is no one can find Badon or Camlan, or rather....they dont want to find these sites. Imagine Arthur was connected to London, they'd have a statue up in no time, as i say its just sour grapes really, HE MUST NOT BE FROM WALES it seems.😂

      Thanks, appreciate that. Yes the deliberate willful blindness is incredible. I had no idea about this area of history and had no idea how utterly mad the modern academics are. I was putting together a book on Britain and started looking up history facts to include -everywhere I went it was 'myth' 'not real' they made these kings up' I happened across Alan Wilson , he said read the records! I though ok lol grabbed some books -yep there's Arthur , king Lludd etc all the greats -except according to all 'experts' nothing is real..............lol It finally came home to me (the madness) when I pointed out to a London tour guide that king Lludd was a real king , Ludgate does mean Lludd's gate not 'flood gate' some weird alteration/guess , he's in the records I said , fought Caesar etc , the bloke went absolutely nuts....ha ha ha ha ah ah Okay I thought , hmmmmm there's a disease going round ..epidemic lol. Anyhow I wanted to show how simple it is to find Arthur without any trouble, from my own simple angle so I chose one simple word! How easy is that! I have kept my senses in tact by maintaining my common sense the more i do the more I see how nuts the experts are! Thanks again.

    interesting. The to and fro of education in Edwardian and early post WW1 Wales is interesting. Some people were keen to start some sort of Welsh medium eduction (as all education was in English, even in Welsh speaking areas). Welsh was allowed as a medium to instruct and was, probably used widely in primary schools in Welsh speaking Wales with basically monolingual Welsh speaking kids but English was almost excusively the medium of instruction in high school even in Welsh speaking areas. At this time, a minority of Welsh educationalists are trying to get Welsh medium education used in Welsh speaking areas and also where there were still many Welsh speakers but the areas were becoming more anglicised e.g. Rhondda, Pontypridd. In light of this were also efforts to include Welsh history and culture in the curriculum, so, you'd see things like an annual school 'eisteddfod' (cultural competitions) even in English areas, and, also some Welsh history. So, it's complex and very much depended on the individual school and even teacher. But the prevailing forces by the 1930s was for British (i.e. English) conformity and only in the 1950s really did Welsh medium education start to take root. But it's very interesting and even surprising for me as a Welshman to see that a book like this was published by the authorities so early in the 20th century. Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated. PS - Iddon is pronounced with the Welsh 'dd' so, same sound as the 'th' in 'with' or 'together'.

    • @WhatMakesBritainGreat
      @WhatMakesBritainGreat 11 днів тому

      Thanks Sion, yes it sure is interesting. I had absolutely no idea about the history nor the upheaval in Welsh education, it's worth a look -it was shocking, in 1847 the whole education system in Wales was crushed and reformed to teach obedience , basically the education system was supported by people and the church, there was no help from Westminster , the Welsh were in fact still suffering from the aftermath of having been conquered and their lands taken, I do not say this in jest or lightly or for shock value, the land owners were the ancestors of the conquerors and were the ones who had the right to vote and who charged tolls to travel through land. The Welsh didn't have a vote unless they owned a large tract of land. This and other problems caused an uprising which had nationwide support , it resulted in many riots , one of which 20+ were killed and the captured were sentenced to be hung drawn and quartered --I kid you not! The English Gov' then sent hundreds of their education experts into Wales to travel the country and report on the state of education and why the Welsh were 'so immoral' The nickname of this report was 'The Blue books' (the reports were written in a number of blue books) The Welsh called it 'The treachery of the Blue Books' This report was the start of the destruction of the Welsh language and removal of ancient British history from the education curriculum. The report was vicious it concluded that the core problem was the Welsh language it was deemed evil and immoral and English was the only way forward for the Welsh. (I'll leave a link to the report itself it's worth a look ) Now , how was this handled? The Gov sent in hundreds of English school teachers and got rid of all the Welsh, did they speak Welsh? no, did they do lessons in Welsh and English ? no , it was English teachers and Welsh kids and it was chaos, and held in place by force and violence. 'The Welsh not' hung around children's necks caught speaking Welsh in class, resulted in a beating at end of the day. Basically Welsh was almost wiped out, in the south there's not many speakers today, the north survived better. Now the Welsh language contained and carried with it the ancient history of Britain , it was also erased because the English history is not the Welsh (ancient British history) So the English language and its own history starting with the Saxons and more importantly (power wise) the Normans , later, was the only thing the English knew. What the English did know of British ancient history , (Welsh history )was strongly disliked by the English establishment because it was the history of rebellion against the Normans and earlier the Saxons and the tyranny of both , Welsh history told the truth of what had happened in history , this was a problem for Westminster , they were now the land owners and they kept dissent in check by force. The Welsh history kept the Welsh proud and rebellious because they had , even in Norman times fought back and their illustrious history of kings was not only their heart and courage it was the envy of the English, look at the early English kings right up to the present , all of them worshipped praised and claimed they were descended from the great Arthur , Henry 1, 2, Henry 7 carried the red dragon and professed he was Arthur returned . The early kings tried to take Arthur and claim descent and that Arthur was now of the English lineage and therefore the English kings were authentic and entitled to rule. This worked for a while but Arthur was too big a figure in history and the Welsh (The British) would never forget. Come forward hundreds of years and the English went a different route : 'Arthur is a myth' With the German speaking Kings George 1st They worked on changing the history (They were German and spoke German! ) They were hated by most everyone! If we come up to 1847 we find the Welsh still rebelling!! and what keeps them courageous? Their ancestry and their knowledge of what has been happening ie their history. What are the English Gov' going to do about it now... theyve had enough remove the language and with it the history, make them English. The language began to be removed and with it bit by bit the history went too, in 1922 there were still school books that taught Arthur and other kings as simple history, but they too were removed and replaced and Welsh history was forgotten. That is why king Arthur is now a 'Myth' The school curriculum is now English and Arthur, one of the biggest problems for the English is handled. The Welsh have NO IDEA of their history nowadays it is all gone, wiped form their minds. Want to know how complete this removal of history is? How thoroughly complete? Every year the Welsh celebrate St Dyfed's, Davids day right ? The patron saint of Wales. No one has a clue who he was, no one knows when he lived, anything about him. Not only was he a saint he was a member of the Royal family, a wise man, a close confidant and counsel to the king , he was the uncle of King Arthur.

    I’m not sure why Athrwys ap Meurig doesn’t generate more interest as an originator of the Arthurian legend. He is a British king with a similar name that could have morphed into Arthur when translated from welsh to Latin to English. He lived in the time period and in one of the places where the earliest Arthurian legends are set. I find it particularly compelling that he ruled from Caerleon where Geoffrey of Monmouth who created the Arthurian legend as we know it had Arthur ruling. It seems likely that since Geoffrey was from South Wales he would have known of Athrwys and used them as the basis for his story. I think it would be quite a coincidence if Athrwys was not the basis of the legendary Arthur. For me the question of whether or not their was a historic King Arthur is not a question of whether or not one person fulfills all the things the legendary Arthur is said to have done, but whether there was a real person whose life could have inspired the stories and around whom the legends could gather. I don’t think Ambrosius Aurelianus was that person because although he was the likely leader at Badon; he doesn’t explain where the name Arthur or the associations with Caerleon would have come from. Athrwys is the most likely candidate for being the real person that much of the early legends are based on.

      100% Athrwys means Bear or the bear who calls Or urgent calling/summoning bear.......... It's old British (Now Welsh) for Arthur, there's no mystery here, Arthur's main nickname was the bear.... I mean to ignore this is willing ignorance and to be honest that is what I have come across since looking into the subject- Plain evidence in front of the eyes completely ignored. Yep -Geoffrey would have known Arthur's legend he was a Welshman (a Brit) and again he is lambasted as a fool and fairy tale writer. Nennius and other earlier texts appears to be where Geoffrey got his info'. Have you read Alan Wilson's work? He has completed the greatest amount of work and in exact detail on Arthur and indeed found his actual grave -not the nonsense many others claim. Yes Arthur was a very real and very active and beloved King.

      Hey Peter, well that's a nice idea and as far as has been established Arthur had a code of ethics based on agnostic Christianity, the original Christianity brought to Britain in 34 /37ad and adopted by king Aviragus. The most convincing and verifiable source and explanation of the round table was explained by Alan Wilson: Ciburd , Ci - together Burd -table was the royal district of SE Wales (which remained untaxable lands for many years.)This district or 'together table' was where the high king and other leaders met. Central to Ciburd was the Yellow Castle/Fortress, Caer Melyn which became, through later foriegn expression of the Welsh word: 'Camelot'. Watch Alan Wilson's documentaries on Arthur.

      The facts are in plain site, the counter arguments are the dismissal of the words in front of one's face: The Royal line: Morgan ap Athrwys ap Meurig ap Tewdrig it is as plain as it can be possibly made, only by introducing dismissal and simply not looking can that be ignored. The expert you think I attacked (I attacked the utter lack of common sense and refusal to investigate and instead dismiss) This expert on Wiki has just rushed off last month to the USA to examine Arthur's 6th century headstone,(The stone was scientifically dated but no historian or university would engage with any examination or study, so the stone was eventually sold to a US collector) This gravestone which was found by independent researchers along with a silver cross (also inscribed) in the exact place the records state Arthur was buried: Caer Caradoc, S Wales ie Briton.The expert lady to whom you refer dismissed the stone and dismissed their findings, now secretly she goes off to examine the stone. Why did she not do this before when the findings were presented to academia? Why has she not made her trip public? Why has she not announced she is going to examine a 6th century tombstone, possibly the greatest find in history inscribed with Arthur's name and the name of his father Meurig? All aligning with the historical records. If Arthur is officially listed as the king of Gwent (Llandaff charters) and his tombstone was found in Gwent and this woman has rushed off to examine it in private why does she publicly deny his existence? Even Wiki displays the official Royal line that's why I used Wiki because it is there in plain sight, the Royal line is clearly recorded as historical fact: Morgan ap Athrwys ap Meurig ap Twedrig and all are historically listed as factual kings where's the lack of convincing?

That's not sufficient to prove that he was the source of the Arthur legends. I'm sure you know there are several other similar candidates, Celtic kings or princes with names something like Arthur, each of them has their backers, just as convinced that they are right as you seem to be about this person.

      @@johnharrison154 John, Skepticism is great, let's look at what we have . Arthur is quoted in the histories as being from Wales, you can even ask google where was Arthur from? where did come from what country? Google will even tell you: Wales. The historical figures related to him are located in Wales, buried in Wales Tewdrig Meurig Geraint on and on. The ancient British charters, and Mabinogion tales are set in Wales, early Welsh school books say he is from Wales and the welsh school books for the history of Gwent said he was King of Gwent, Wales the Llandaff charters say he was king of Gwent. Wales was the home of the Britons. The Britons are the ancient Welsh, that's unmistakably where he is from. Now 'Arthur' is not Arthur's name, 'Arthur' is a modern English word used many years after his existence. So we are not looking for 'Arthur' he wasn't English he wasn't Roman he was an ancient Briton, Arthur of the Britons High king of the Britons (The High King gets the other kings together to fight off invaders.) So, his name we are looking for, his actual name, in ancient Welsh ie ancient British (Brythonic)a Welsh name. How would one spell it in ancient British/Welsh? 'Arthwys' and 'Arthrwys' appears in the records, is that not Welsh enough? Ancient British enough? Arthrwys as son of Meurig ap Twedrig :Dad and grandad Arth means Bear as we know and is his calling, (and his nickname Iron bear. 'Arthmael' or 'Arthhearn' ) When one uses the correct language of the place and time: Ancient British, it isn't difficult to find and name him.

I honestly think you are missing the central important points of key data and I think this is due to the confusion of this area and the incessant 'myth' 'he's not real' 'we will never know' Let's take up my points: A name : Well we need to know who we are talking about we need to know ,who, when we locate the best name we can find then we can follow that through and see what we have. Location : We need to know where, where was the person located, we have a name so where was he? if we can find where , a where that aligns with the other data available we have a confirmed location (Historical records: Mabinogion/Nennius/Gof M/ Welsh Triads/Royal Charters.

Are you familiar with the Charters, Nennius, Triads? Mabinogion etc? And do you use Brythonic/early Latin in your studies? Remember you asked me about 'Arthur' this is an English word and is not his actual name, these details are vital and if ignored it will only cause confusion. If you do not study the various records including stones and charters place names and Welsh written and oral traditional records and the methods by which the bards/poets transmitted history, then you have no chance to find Arthur, these are the very basics and if you do not use them then there is no point in me discussing this with you. Arthur's actual stone and cross has been discovered yet you have shown absolutely no interest, I don't see you are serious in your curiosity. Dave. PS the reasons this subject is a mess is laziness, the fixed ideas of the English universities and their English versions of Arthur ie 'Myth', the loss of Welsh Arthurian history through the destruction of records (banning Welsh writing printing through 1400s onwards) and the Government's Blue Books commission which nearly wiped out the language along with all the Welsh history curriculum.

    It’s called a myth for one reason - to dispossess the Britons of Britain, not only their land but their identity. If there are no Britons prior to the Germanics, then the Germanics wouldn’t have stolen anything. No victims, no crime so to speak. This is also why they like to call the Britons Welsh! So the people of Wales themselves dissociate themselves from their Brythonic history and will no longer defend it. Afterall, records won’t be using the word “Welsh” in the Dark ages and before. Many western English people are also Britons but have also fallen for the lies.

    Excellent video but If it’s a 14th Century map it is of the 1300s, not the 1500s. If it’s the 1500s, as you say, it is a 16th century map. But you are essentially correct and this backs up the work of Wilson and Blackett, now deceased, who were demonised by the English Establishment for their discoveries (Google Pro Anima Artorius or read Adrian Gilbert’s book The Holy Kingdom, which tells of their rediscovery of Arthur as a king of Gwent.) it is also not generally realised that in sixth century Wales, although it sounds odd to us nowadays, if you were the son of a king, you were also referred to as a king, even if your ruling father was still living. The word prince was used by the Anglo Saxons, but not by the Welsh, who only used the modern term Tywysog, or Prince, much later.. You are entirely right about all this but historians do not want to admit that they have allowed Church and state under the English (German) crown to muddy the waters about Welsh history for their own ends. They do not want Welsh people remembering their own history. Welsh pupils were taught all of this as history in schools until the 1920s, when the education authorities got rid of it. They had also got rid of all Welsh teachers and replaced them with English speaking ones, even though the kids could speak only Welsh. This was all done when England was seen as the head of a great empire and Britain was seen as a world power, so everything had to be British orientated. It was why attempts were made to kill off the Welsh language too (fail). Incidentally, it is also why in TV sitcoms to this day, any Welsh character is usually depicted as slow witted, slow talking, and an object of humour.

      Thank you Petrovonoc, You are right, I made a mistake -I spoke incorrectly, the map is indeed a 16th century map which of course places it in the 1500's. It's from the national library of Wales which is available online. The map was first published in 1573 by Abraham Ortelius. Thanks for the data, yes I am aware of and have the highest respect for Alan Wilson and Tony Blackett they are the historians who answered my questions when I couldn't get a straight answer from 'standard history articles'/books when I was looking for history facts to put into the Bulldogs book, only W and B were of any clarity and cited the historical references. Yes I am aware of the Blue Books treachery and want to cover this subject; I have read a good portion of the original Blue Books report and it was shocking, interestingly I watched a video of the american who learns languages and goes to the country to speak with the people, he had learned Welsh, he went to Cardiff, it was a terribly sad episode, he spoke Welsh to all sorts of people and was a little confused as only 2 spoke Welsh he hung out with one man who spoke Welsh for most of the show. This really brought home to me for real, that the language was almost destroyed, deliberately. ( And this Welsh generation had no idea.) Also, I grew up in London and had no idea about the Welsh but always wondered, if only in the back of my mind, why the Welsh were always put down, portrayed as lowly, backwards, now I know and it's because of the crimes committed against those people and of course if you commit crimes against something that something has to 'deserve it' be justified and the perpetrators have to make less of those they wronged. On the re-writing of history, I got hold of a 1908 Welsh schoolbook which was part of the curriculum, prior to the revision of British history, in which Arthur is taught as standard history simply an historical figure, the author even warns to separate the historical Arthur from the tales that surround him. I did a video on this. Since reading W and B my eyes have been opened to history and I like to show from various sources how in plain sight it is. Cheers Dave.

    This is interesting, I am not British nor have any sort of kinship with the peoples of the isles however growing up in my country my grandparents would teach me many subjects and one of them was the history of my own people as well as the history of other peoples, they were both very well educated and could read in Latin, Greek, English, Portuguese and Spanish, when they taught me about the history of the British peoples and the isles of Great Britain and Ireland they spoke of Arthur as a real leader of the Celtic Romans who sought to defend the country of the Romanized celts from the Anglo Saxon invasions, the kingdom of Britain at that point could be described as an independent patchwork of petty kingdoms ruled by a “High King” who likely held to a Roman title, the western Roman Empire had basically abandoned the isles to defend its heartlands during the many barbaric invasions of that Time which created this state of affairs, my grandparents taught me history as it is on this book: later writers would expand the legend of this very successful and important Roman Celtic(Welsh) commander and this would give rise to a great poetic tradition known as the Arthurian legends or cycles, after Arthur’s death(or depart to Avalon I guess) the Germanic peoples would drive the romanized celts into the mountainous lands now known as Wales and most of the isle of Great Britain would become the realms of divided Anglo Saxon kingdoms who wore against each-other until the later Danish invasions in a later period of the Middle Ages.

      Spot on and very interesting, thank you Jonh. I do find that persons from abroad have a better ability to see the truth of history in another country as they have no investment in the politics or influence of minds. Couple of things I want to bring up: Arthur was a high king yes, and he ruled Glamorgan and Gwent (S. Eastern Briton) what is now south Wales. This word 'celt' this has become a catch all term, but it is a false one introduced by Julius Caesar, no one in Britain has ever been a celt, and unfortunately this term hides the true history and lineage of the British who were the 'Khymry' or Cymry, Wales is Cymru a Welshman Cymro. Places in England still have names from this : Cumberland, Cumberwood, Cumberwell, from when the British ruled the entire island. The lands, in Arthur's time were free of Romans and the Britons in Wales had never been overtaken by the Romans, the area was almost impossible to conquer due to the topology so deals and treaties were done, the British had the Romans make buildings for them and trade was done, the British then copied the Roman style of building which they liked, just as the Romans were in awe of the British chariots and skill of the British cavalry, the Romans copied the British chariots. Arthur managed to rally British kingdoms (And Brittany's when needed) in a defence force and defeat invaders. The complete history in detail is quite different than the mainstream history tells and the true history is far more interesting, unfortunately for academia and others the true history has much information that is very embarrassing to certain groups and thus it is suppressed. Thanks for watching and your input appreciate it.

This appears to have happened as part of the attempted removal of Welsh history and language, and the transmutation of Arthur into an English King which is of course a myth therefore he became a myth. It is quite a controversy because when you study Arthur you cannot help but open a huge can of worms revealing the destruction and alteration of history.

With the Restoration, Charles Stuart the 2nd became King of England, Ireland & Scotland from 1660, Anne Stuart became Queen of Great Britain & Ireland from 1707 after the Act of Union. Ireland remained a separate kingdom, unrepresented in Parliament, and was legally subordinate to Great Britain until the Renunciation Act of 1783 & the offical union with Ireland finally came about on 1 January 1801?

    Of course also worth mentioning, Arthur was almost certainly a Latin as he is said to be a descendant of Ambrosius, the first Bishop of Milan. Perhaps even more surprisingly, his family line may exist to this very day! Now I do know that may sound like a bit of a stretch (and it is) but I have done a lot of research over the years and spent much time with these people and all I can say is that I am now absolutely convinced. They truly do have the mark of Arthur! (And yet, oddly enough, themselves seem to know nothing about him, nor English history for that matter.)

      @WhatMakesBritainGreat What make you say that? Even Gildas mentions that his family were the "last of the Romans" and that they "wore the purple". In other words, they were the Roman governors of Britannia. They were also associated with Ambrosius of Milan, who was a Latin Roman. (You can see his actual face as portrayed by a contemporary here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrose#/media/File:AmbroseOfMilan_(cropped).jpg) Now of course one COULD argue that the Romans left shortly BEFORE Arthur and his family took the helm, but that seems unlikely. The "Groans of the Britons" was made circa 450 AD and was written in Latin. Arthur is believed to have left Britain (or died) sometime around 550, which means his family fought the Saxons and the Picts for several generations, which does indeed match what evidence we DO have about them.

The Romans were gone in Arthur's time it was Saxons picts and vandals he had to deal with. The early tales of Arthur are in Welsh , ancient British.

First instance of a greater/lesser, bigger/ smaller Britain. Yes James seems to have revived what was then an old word, GB, when he became king and once all was official used the term. This seems to resound of the desires of English kings to rule the whole island and thus use the word Britain. Edmund 1st, claimed he should be king of all Britain as he was owner of the bones and ancestor to Arthur! and Arthur ruled it all so I should! Aethelstan C930ad called it near to GB (The king of 'Whole of Britain' : Rex Totius Britannie be precise)when he gained control. Back to BC: The people that lived in Britain called themselves 'Pritani' this appears as 'Brittani' too (It's spelt various ways) Also referenced- The Britons called themselves 'Brittos' singular 'Britto' Which does link favourably to the Brutus (Britto) of Troy writings as the origin of the word.

    What sources does this schoolbook use? As for Geoffrey of Monmouth, he was writing a fictional Arthur to honour the memory and family of Alan Rufus, the most senior of the three founders of Monmouth Priory. Alan’s mother was Cornish and his father’s lineage were the Counts of Gwened who were also the Dukes and Kings of Brittany. Geffrei Gaimar and Wace of Jersey were also admirers of Alan Rufus. Alan’s achievements surpassed those of the fictional Arthur: Alan’s strategic command and personal prowess were the decisive factors in the thorough defeat of the Anglo-Saxons whose leader Harold Godwinson had genocided the Welsh just three years earlier. Alan was the narrator of the Bayeux Tapestry, mastermind behind Domesday, chastiser of King William for the Harrying of the North, victor over the Norman baronial rebellion of 1088, and founder of Parliament in 1089. Alan deliberately placed his caput at Richmond, in the very heart of the Isle of Britain, overlooking the site where St Paulinus baptised the Northumbrians, and upstream of Catraeth which he had liberated from the English Earls and so avenged Gododdin. Alan’s epitaph at Bury St Edmunds alludes to his descent from the Aurelii through Rutilia Rufa, grandmother of Caesar.

The stone was sold to an american collector as the finders thought it would be stolen/go missing and as museums refused to analyse it or even acknowledge it. Get's more wild: Last week the stone turned up in the US and is being presented for examination by professionals, here's the wildest bit --remember Wendy Davies our friend 'Arthur isn't real he died before being king, and the charter is spurious' The actual Wendy from Wiki, She just turned up on the scene. The reason i did this video and specifically in the way I did was to try to get people to look cleanly and exactly at what is there I really want to get that exact point across, what is there is right there bang, so one sees it, okay yep that's there, then.... someone explains it away with 'this and that', and so then one starts trying to figure it out by using the new data one is told plus the first 'there it is' data. The first look at it made sense right? Then an expert told you how it wasn't (Except the expert was wrong) but u try to work with the truth and the expert's data too and mix it all together trying to make it all fit.

They refuse outright any data that comes from 'outside' 'non university, curriculum approved' sources, they consider it not valid, just not admissible, only if they themselves find it -an 'approved' scholar finds it is it even partially looked at, and then it takes ten years before anyone of them dares talk about it, they are utterly terrified of ridicule by their own group and come down hard on anyone that speaks out of turn. If you are not part of their group and have peer reviewed papers you are not even remotely worthy of attention, you are considered a pitiful village idiot whose hanging is justified. They are so tied down in rules of how to verify something that they cannot declare a simple decision, they just can't make statements, (except of scathing ridicule)they refuse to take any responsibility for making a conclusion and they are terrified to research independently -what if their peers found out! They go round in circles disclaiming this and disclaiming that and never acknowledging the people that wrote the texts, it's weird, like they don't like people or something. It seems they don't really like history either as they seem so angry about it are constantly denying it and vicious towards the authors of old. I bet this sounds somewhat over the top, but that's what i have personally encountered.

And yes 'Prince of Wales' is a very odd title, as there were kings of Wales not Princes (Except when 'Princeps' was used and meant highest ruler, not prince) Wales had kings , and was made 'part of England' then part of the UK yet is not on the flag.

    Like the indigenous children of North America, the Welsh children of the early 20thC were forbidden from speaking their native tongue at school. In Wales any kid found speaking Welsh could be "snitched on." The only way to avoid a beating on the friday was to snitch on another Welsh speaking child. Those who were the current targets for the beating had to wear a board around their neck like some bizarre necklace. It was known as "The Welsh Knot." At least the Welsh children got to go back to hearth & home at the end of the day. Native American children were forced into boarding schools.

      To be fair, after 400 years of Roman occupation most of the indigenous held parts of Britain were inhabited by Romano Britons. By which time we had learnt Latin & an appreciation of the Roman way of life. Of course the Brythonic tongue was still prevalent, especially further west in what is now Wales, Cornwall & Cumbria. But by the time the Roman's left many were sorry to see them leave & without the protection of their army the Britons felt very vulnerable to invasion from the Saxons in the East, the Irish in the West, & the Picts in the North.

      Quite untrue. In the world of actual historians the gold standard is contemporary sources…..things written while the events they describe were going on. And there are two references to Arthur in the Easter annals in one of the monasteries in the west of England. In these monks were in the habit of writing a short line or two at the end of each year as they recorded the dates that Easter had happened. The two Arthur references are separated by about 20 years. One records him described as a “Dux Bellorum”….maybe translate as “Field Marshal” ? sort of idea winning a battle at a place named as “Mons Badonicus”…unidentified but maybe Badon Hill in the West of England. In Dorset. The other Easter annal line simply tells us that he has been killed. And a man called “Modred” also named..All a bit thin but the period is referred to as the “Dark Ages” for a reason.

      Well to be frank Conrad, there are hundreds of references to Arthur in historical Manuscripts there are copious mentions of his name and that of his brothers, father, grandfather etc across stones in Wales. There are also mentions of his relatives , father and many others in the King's charters which are available to view and yes he is mentioned in many early poems. Read the Kings of Britain by the Welsh Prince and bishop Tysilio of the 6th century he describes the adventures and life of Arthur and his fellows start with that. The early kings of England all acknowledged his existence and claimed heritance, they were not making things up or acting on a myth , they wanted to be king of all Britain as he was.

In conventional historical discourse early English King's are those of the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th and 6th centuries. Henry was a Norman king. He did not even speak English, and knew nothing of events 700 years earlier. His identification with 'Arthur' was simply a convention of the time. There are no contemporaneous references to Arthur. There are references in British ( Welsh or Celtic) literature to various figures. In Gildas, for instance. But not to Arthur. Nor does early English literature mention such an individual. Nor is there any archaeological evidence for Arthur. The earliest reference to him comes from Nennius, writing in the 8th. If there were any evidence then, believe me ( I am a history graduate), historians would accept it. Indeed they would be delighted to.

I too would like a copy of that book. As the old Celtic was spoken and not a written language the Bards would have told long tales around the fires in halls and campfires long before Geoffrey of Monmouth put pen to paper, shame they were lost. It always amazes me that the historians haven't considered why there are river Avons in England as the name for river in Welsh is afon. You don't need to be a mastermind candidate to see the connection. The area around the Bristol Avon was only taken by the AngloSaxons after a battle in 577AD probably 50 years or more after the legendary battle of Mons Badonicus which Arthur destroyed the Saxon army. You can almost hear a psychopathic Celtic warlord telling the defeated Saxon leader that if they crossed to Afon (Avon after years of mispronunciation and spelling) there would be trouble.

      ''Avon'' was not a mispronunciation. Considering the settlements the Welsh speakers had all over Great Britain it is surprising so few remain today, Cumbria and Aberdeen to name a couple. But in many places the valleys and lowlands were wild and unused, it took the AngloSaxons and their superior farming methods to clear the forests, while the Welsh stayed on the hills. This can be seen in village names in places such as Somerset and Oxen. Sadly the Irish and English were too powerful and removed the Welsh culture.
