Diolch am eich diddordeb mean Hanes Cymru, thank you for your interest in Welsh history, most Americans never heard of Wales
Not only do I know of Wales, but thanks to Sarah Woodbury. I plan an extended visit to Wales (as soon as it is safe to travel).
Me too!
Thanks for the video. I am a Carew decendant.
Very cool!
@@SarahWoodburyBooks So strange. I'm an American on the other side of the world who is a decendant of Owain and Llewellyn the greats, Joan Plantagenet and John Lackland. It's hard to wrap your mind around. I'm a Plantagenet decendant about 10 different ways. Same with Robert the Bruce via Stewarts, Hamiltons, and Campbells. Somerled decendant via Macdonald's and MacDougalls, and Olaf the black King of Isle of Man via the MacLeods. There are millions of us around the world.
@@azariahisrael5632 There are indeed. I myself descend from King Henry I; Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland; Sitric Silkbeard, the King of Dublin, and Gruffydd ap Cynan, the King of Gwynedd. I'm also a McKay and McPherson, and a Urquart. Plus, one ancestor was the town drunk and pig keeper in Gloucester, MA :)
Same here
So I've been working on my family tree recently and was able to go back a lot further than I anticipated. Currently trying to fact check and make sure my ducks are all in an order, but if I'm correct, Princess Nest is my 29th great grandmother! Which is so exciting and I hope to one day be able to fly to the Uk and see the castle in person.
Oh that's great! How fun to have discovered that :)
Sarah - I have just come upon your videos and am very happy to have found them!! I think you might find the follow fairly interesting. Over 20 years ago I read a book by my partner's mother on Princess Nest. It was in that book the name Rhys spoke to me. I knew I had to name my son Rhys. At the time I was also doing a lot of genealogy research. Through the years I have entered nearly 95,000 individuals into my genealogy database, including royalty, making amazing connections. In 1996 I visited England and Wales for the first time. The moment I set foot in London and parts of Wales I had a feeling of having come home. In 2001 and 2003 I led group trips into England and Wales where I showed the group places that pertained to our Clough ancestry and introduced them to distant cousins. Those trips were epic! I finally had my son with my partner in 2004 and named him Rhys. In the years since, although not as much a part of the genealogy world as I once was, I have continued to work on my research. Having done so I find that I am related to Princes Nest and Gerald of Windsor (they are my 27th great grandparents) through my maternal grandmother. My line comes from their son Maurice, his son Gerald, his son Maurice, etc. I am also related to King Henry I, although not through the son he had with Nest. I am sharing this video on Carew Castle in my private family FB group so family members can enjoy seeing a place that has special significance to us. I admire your ability to write so many books. That has been a dream of mine. I wish you continued good luck with your books and videos!! The videos are very informative and people like me really appreciate them!! :-)
Sarah - do you happen to know the difference in using ap vs ab in the Welsh naming patterns? When I do genealogy it seems random. Thanks!
I'm so glad you've enjoyed the videos, and what a wonderful genealogical history!
The difference between ap and ab has only to do with the flow of the Welsh. Certain consonants 'soften' depending upon the sounds that come after. So 'son of Rhys' is 'ap Rhys', but you might see 'son of Evan' as 'ab Evan'.
Interestingly, this is how you get names that are quite common to us "Price" (ap Rhys); "Powell" (ap Hywel); "Bowen" (ap Owain) etc.
@@SarahWoodburyBooks So, it depends on the language flow. Ok. Yes, I have known about Price, Bowen, etc. surnames and how ap or ab created the anglicized version of certain names. It has been a point of frustration when entering names into my genealogy program to seemingly see ap and ab flip flop. Now I understand. Thank you! Much continued good luck to you!
my bloodline is the same to. earl of pembrook and fitzmaurice etc... also branches off to the JFK family tree too through the fitzgeralds... all these names and such spoke to me too and drew me to them this year.. almost like all of our family is having an awakening
Sir Edmund Carew was my 15th Great Grandfather and Rhys Ap Thomas was my 17th Great Grandfather through another branch of the family
My 13th Great Grandfather (Sir John Perrot) was given Carew castle by Henry VIII. He did most of the work there turning the fortress into a Tudor mansion while he was Lord Deputy of Ireland. There are still a few floor tiles with our family Crest of a Parrot holding 3 pears at the site. Very interesting place, I wish they would let me move in and restore it to its former glory haha.
Wow! That's fantastic! Thanks for commenting.
@@SarahWoodburyBooks thank you for the video!
@@willyfoofoo318 I am told I am a descendent of Sir John Perrot as well although I’m not sure how far removed. I had an Aunt and Uncle who visited Carew Castle many years ago however, I have never traveled abroad. I have little information to go on at this time as it was my fathers family and he has been deceased since 1977. I do find it quite interesting. Thank you for sharing your information to this story.
Really enjoying these vids. Here is something that i recently uncovered that might be of interest. Cenarth Bychan is the castle where Nest was abducted by Owain. In my research i have found the following. Little Cenarch, Little Cengarth, Kastell Kenarch Bychan and Keugarth Vachaw are the various names for Geralds castle from the various Brut versions in English and Welsh. When one looks through the Annales Cambriae the following entry is found; 1107 Flandrenses ad Ros venerunt. Geraldus dapfifer (firmavit) castellum (de Kilgarren) Chenarth bechan. (de Kilgarren being from another manuscript as shown in the footnotes.)
This shows that Cenarth Bychan is likely the early name for Cilgerran castle, one of the most picturesque castles in Wales. The CADW guidebook also tells us that Gerald built Carew, then Cenarth Bychan (Cilgerran).
Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
My 18th great-grandfather, Sir Rhys ap Thomas, bought or was given Carew in 1480. He was considered the first Prince of Wales and was credited (or blamed) for the death of Richard III. Trying to find out if dear grandfather Rhys was related to Princess Nest. Thanks for the info. This fascinates me.
How exciting! He has his own Wikipedia entry!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhys_ap_Thomas
I'm not sure what you mean about the first Prince of Wales, though? The "princes" of Wales as a designation begins with Owain Gwynedd after he had to bend he knee to Henry II in 1167. He had been seen as the King of Gwynedd but was reduced to prince after that particular war. The most renowned Prince of Wales recognized by the English king was Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn Fawr) in the 13th century. The last Welsh Prince of Wales was Llywelyn ap Gruffydd who was assassinated by the English in 1282.
Do I assume correctly in thinking that Sir Nicholas Carew in the After Cilmeri series was from the family who held Carew Castle at the time? Also, I visited Pembroke Castle last year. Amazing place. Birth place of Henry Tudor, etc.
Yes! Nicholas was a descendant! We've been to Pembroke too... tons of history. Thanks for commenting :)
Well, I take it that your eldest son was conceived in Carew!
Actually, he is named for my husband's best friend ...
Correctly pronounced K-REW
Thanks for the tip. As it's a Normanization of a Welsh word, it's a little hard to parse. In Welsh, the 'a' is always 'ah'.
