Never in a hundred years did I think Kings and Generals would cover the history of my small but proud yet forgotten nation. Thank you, Cymru am byth 🏴
I'm from Chicago, IL USA. I know Latin and Hebrew. Learning Welsh right now and it is by far one of the most beautiful languages when spoken fluently however it's hard af to learn lol!
Thank you so much for this content. My homeland has such a colourful and interesting past, its a shame more people are not aware of it. Happy to be a channel supporter when you bring Welsh history to a wider audience :)
As a history Geek who is critical of most TH-cam videos relating to Welsh history, i cant find anything to moan about with this. Spot on, well done dude.
Except for where he says near the beginning that there was never a single Welsh state. Gruffydd ap Llywelyn conquered all of Wales and united for a short time as one kingdom until his death in 1063.
My only criticism is there was not enough info on King Arthur II (pls reference the wonderful books of the late Alan Wilson & Baram Blackett). Other than that, Diolch in fawr, da iawn
Diolch o'r galon am rhannu ein hanes! Rwyt ti'n groeso i mynd pob amser brawd! Cariad fawr o Gymru! x Thank you from the heart for sharing our history! You are welcome to come any time brother! Much love from Cymru [Wales] x
Woah, as a French (Brittany/Normandy) who has lived 17 years in London and visited parts of Wales I had never really grasped how great the Welsh history was, thanks to this channel I will never look at this people the same way ever again!
If the anglosaxons came here peacefully and happily integrated with the locals. NONSENSE. Taliesin' tells us many horror stories,plus stories in the mabbi, the Roman document from the Britons begging for help and became known as 'the moaning of the Britons'. But the biggest clue to indicate a possible genocide and ethnic cleansing would be the large migration from western Britain to Brittany in Northern France.
1:04:00 they did NOT style themselves as princes in subservience to England. Prince is short for princep as in governor in Latin. This enraged the British and it meant king of kings for the welsh. So far this is the only mistake I have found in the entire video up to this point. Good job!
Was just playing medieval total war 2 Britannia as Wales and decided I wanted to learn more and then this popped up. Perfect timing, I appreciate all the time and effort that goes into these videos. Keep up the good work.
I have been waiting for this video for a long time, went under my radar but well worth the wait. Perfectly and kindly handled origin story of my country 🏴 and kudos for the pronunciations, some are a bit off but honestly impressed. Da Iawn!!!
Greetings from Hungary! The welsh and hungarian history has a lot in common, especially when we talk about foreign occupation… In the 19th century, after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49, Emperor Franz Joseph asked of our poets (János Arany) to write a “praise-poem” about him, and he wrote one called “The bards of Wales”. The poem is a metaphor for the Habsburg rule over Hungary. In the ballad Edward I visits the newly conquered Wales and demands the bards to praise him, but every single one of them sings about his tyranny. Later the king sends 500 bards to death, but he becomes crazy beacuse of the remorse.
I always see comments like this from Hungarians on videos about Wales. Not with that fact before but just showing love/respect. It makes me proud that we have such supporters outside our little country. 🏴 🍻 🇭🇺
Tiny (possible) correction at 1:04:10 when it is stated that the use of “Prince” was a sign of a defiance because it is derived from Princeps in Latin and would connote a status above just a king of a region. Once Cymru was fully taken over, the title’s meaning was changed from “the first man” to essentially “first in line”. I could be wrong but this is the way I’ve seen the evolution of “Prince of Wales” explained before in some sources (Edited time stamp) (Second edit) I think this is also backed up by the recorded and translate word/speech starting 1:11:30
I’ve been waiting for this one! If you are ever running out of ideas, I would love to see a long form three kingdoms video. Thank you for the quality content!
I think it's concentration, like castle per square mile, if i'm not mistaken Germany has the most castles anywhere in the world. it's very impressive still.
Some of my lineage. Nice to see this. My Grandfather came to America and intermarried , with my Irish/Blackfoot/Cherokee line. I have been to Cardiff, Wales/England/Scotland. I would like to visit Ireland too, someday. Thanks for this presentation! *side note* No wonder I have been singing in secular and Non secular bands and groups! BTW, Bard is my favorite class!
Erm, notable map error at 1:27:20 Tenby is in Pembrokeshire (SE) of Haverfordwest. Not in Glamorgan. And Carmarthen is in... Carmarthenshire (NE) of Haverford West, and certainly not Monmouthshire on the English border.
My family line begins in the 1060s but the male line twice failed. We actually are Morgans as our name was legally changed to continue the family dynasty. I loved knowing more about Wales. Great vid, thanks!
3:19 'Throughout medieval history,there was never a single Welsh state, but rather a multitude of smaller kindoms' Incorrect; Wales united under *Gruffydd ap Llywelyn 1057 - 1063* , the only native Welshman who became king , he ruled all of Wales' territory - albeit briefly. See 36:59
@@RhysapGrug Llywelyn Fawr came close , but he didn't unite all of Wales- neither did Hywel Dda , but both nonetheless were formidable leaders ✊🏴
In 2014, the Cornish people were acknowledged as a ethnic group in the UK and our language of Kernewek has been making a comeback in both Schools, industry and parts of society.
Are there any plans on making a video on the Iran Iraq war, there's barely anything on youtube about it. Can't remember if you have anything on Babylon. Y'all are killing it in these videos! I loved it. @@KingsandGenerals
I appreciate the full compilation of the video, and I love your channel. I would love it however if you released the last episode of the series as a standalone as well as the compilation. I've been watching each installment as you release them, but I didn't realize the compilations had new content at the end until the "Fall of Morgoth" video from the weekend. Now I'm going to go back and rewatch all of your compilations... :)
I'm Caddo,Native American, but I had a 2 times great grandfather who was Welsh whose grandfather came to America in 1736. With DNA testing was able to connect to family in Cymru.
@@Rogue_Centurion We were called the Mohawks of the southwest because of how open handed we've always been to others. When the Indian Removal Act was implemented in 1836 we took in so many of the eastern nations that there's hardly any of us who doesn't have Lenape, Choctaw or Muscogee ancestors. We have inhabited our land for over 10,000 years and even the name of Texas came from us, in our language it means friendly. We were mostly an agrarian people who also traded with everyone. We built pyramids, the remnants of which remain to this day. When Europeans first showed up, we hosted Lasalle ,we had special warrior societies which made sure that they couldn't enter our lands for a set amount of time to avoid disease. They were escorted the entire time until it was determined that they weren't a threat. Most of us are members of the Native American Church though some follow the Jesus way. We were well respected by other nations and got along well with the Kiowa and Commanche nations. Our country went from Louisiana through Texas into Oklahoma and southern Kansas.
"The Red Dragon of Cadwaladr" does not exist. The flag was first used by Henry Tudor, and was inspired by Owain's golden dragon, and a possibly used Red Dragon on black background design, which followed the tale of Dinas Emrys. He added the green and white to symbolise the Tudor Rose in the flag's colours. The myth of Cadwaladr using a red dragon flag is extremely subscribed too, considering no accounts from Cadwaladr's reign describe him ever flying such a flag.
We Hungarians remember about a big Hungarian poet Arany János who wrote a big poem about the bards of Walles to show the resistance against the Habsburgian Empire in 1857.
Trying to learn as much as possible about the history of Wales and surrounding areas. After going through my ancestry i have found that my 20 something great grandfather was Beli Mawr.
The "Cambrian Chronicles" channel has an interesting video "The Medieval Kingdom that was Erased from History" which might be relavent to this - speculation on limited evidence largely but still very interesting!
@@alynwillams4297 Still had another damn chance but with a french army at his side and inside of England! To cautious wouldn't give up the high ground and eventually had to return to Wales with the french army going bk to France to sort its own shit out. Yip that's how close he was to splitting England into Two separate Nations and Wales gaining a couple of hundred Square miles.
Not gonna lie, this video made me cry a few times. I love the Welsh with all my heart, and feel their struggle as mine. Will you guys ever make a similar video on other European subject nations, like Catalonia oe Galitzia?
I found this video after I listened to the 'Alfred the great' episode on Hacks From the Past podcast. I could not believe that I had not heard these stories before. English history is so fascinating! Both that podcast and this video got me very hyped about medieval history stories.
i love to video but I think you made one small mistake. when the title of 'price of Wales ' was declared, 'Prince' wasn't a title considered lower than a king but actually a title previously used by the Roman emperor, thus a deliberate ploy to declare a higher standing than the king of England (at least that's what a very convincing TH-cam video i watched said)
37:16 Harold was Earl of Wessex by this time. He had been the Earl of East Anglia. He succeeded Godwin his father in 1053. Funnily enough Aelfgar served as Earl of East Anglia after Harold and coveted the earldom of Northumbria, however, this was given to Tostig instead which caused him to protest, cause a lot of trouble and be exiled. He was eventually mollified by succeeding to his father’s earldom of Mercia, but died in the early 1060s.
Hey man, I recently had the urge to play as a welsh character and ended up framing the campaign as if I was a descendant of magnus maximus. I reconquered Britain for the welsh then conquered western europe and renamed the empire title to western roman empire and gave it a nice map colour lmao.
Thank you I learned a lot about my hen daid’s country’s history of Cymru. I didn’t know that when I was 5 Cymraig went from 1/4 to 1/3 people were speaking the language at the start of the 21st fentury(2001-2100 two thousand and one/twenty-oh-one to twenty-one-hundred). Twenty-oh-one will be more common by 2101 as no one said ‘one thousand and one but ten oh one for 1002)
Watched this earlier today. Amazing history. Will defo re-watch it soon enough (hopefully as soon as tomorrow) EDIT: Did indeed get to re-watch on the next day lol
Finally got around to finishing watching this. Must have started watching it a while ago. And there is actually an error. Glyndwr never took Caernarfon. It was put under siege and although there was only a small garrison inside, and Glyndwr had French help, they couldn't get past its walls.
The welsh are a great people , witty and don't take themselves seriously , the country is rich in Gaelic culture and has the most beautiful villages in the world in my opinion..
@@Algeo69 had to do a few edits there my spelling was all over the place .. yes I would love that. I want to fish on the wye and also visit Snowdonia.. I am only across the sea in Dublin.. thanks my Celtic cousin
@@kid--presentable yes but we are a different 'ethnic group' of Celts compared to Irish and Scottish, we're much more closely related to the original Cornish and the Bretons, although Welsh is by far the best in my biased opinion haha
Is king arthur really welsh? Why is alan wilson and baram blackett discoveries about arthur are being denied and are not recognized by the Oxford and Cambridge?
King Arthur was a Romano Briton who fought back the Anglo Saxons so by today's standard he was most definitely Welsh. There is a stained glass window of him in Llandaff Cathedral, Cardiff. He is depicted next to King Tewdrig of Morgannwg (a martyr and Saint) and Cadwlader, the famed last King of the Britons.
Academia doesn't like outsiders asking questions. Wilson and Blackett have done some amazing and thought provoking work Just ask Graham Hancock about the academic response.
Can guys re-release a complication of the Hundred years war? Also maybe talk about the the reign of King Philip the 4th and how did his reign affect the Hundred years war?
I just finished the 7 hour history of middle earth and found my way here. Love the narration but the wars/battles around 9 minutes in sound indistinguishable from Tolkien lol.

I didn’t know that when I was 5 Cymraig went from 1/4 to 1/3 people were speaking the language at the start of the 21st fentury(2001-2100 two thousand and one/twenty-oh-one to twenty-one-hundred). Twenty-oh-one will be more common by 2101 as no one said ‘one thousand and one but ten oh one for 1002)
Watched this earlier today. Amazing history. Will defo re-watch it soon enough (hopefully as soon as tomorrow)
EDIT: Did indeed get to re-watch on the next day lol
Finally got around to finishing watching this. Must have started watching it a while ago. And there is actually an error. Glyndwr never took Caernarfon. It was put under siege and although there was only a small garrison inside, and Glyndwr had French help, they couldn't get past its walls.
"With the Hundred Years War having recently aired its season two finale" that made me audibly laugh!
The welsh are a great people , witty and don't take themselves seriously , the country is rich in Gaelic culture and has the most beautiful villages in the world in my opinion..
If u ever visit - come south west and go up west coast. Wont take long but its beautiful
@@Algeo69 had to do a few edits there my spelling was all over the place .. yes I would love that. I want to fish on the wye and also visit Snowdonia.. I am only across the sea in Dublin.. thanks my Celtic cousin
Correction, we're brythonic, not gaelic
@@kinggwyn3056 but still Celtic cousins yes
@@kid--presentable yes but we are a different 'ethnic group' of Celts compared to Irish and Scottish, we're much more closely related to the original Cornish and the Bretons, although Welsh is by far the best in my biased opinion haha
About the sponsor: 0.59 thats a Legendary hydra boss from Guild wars 2 path of fire. Wonder if they ever got sued?
Or was it 0:59
"Gather round and hear my story..."
Askeladd, probably.
My home town of Tenby finnaly gets mentioned and we're teleported to Cardiff
Cymru am byth ❤
Will we eventually receive the continuation of the post Caesar civil wars?
Yes
Is king arthur really welsh? Why is alan wilson and baram blackett discoveries about arthur are being denied and are not recognized by the Oxford and Cambridge?
King Arthur was a Romano Briton who fought back the Anglo Saxons so by today's standard he was most definitely Welsh.
There is a stained glass window of him in Llandaff Cathedral, Cardiff.
He is depicted next to King Tewdrig of Morgannwg (a martyr and Saint) and Cadwlader, the famed last King of the Britons.
Academia doesn't like outsiders asking questions.
Wilson and Blackett have done some amazing and thought provoking work
Just ask Graham Hancock about the academic response.
You were really stretching that transition to the sponsor 😂
Can guys re-release a complication of the Hundred years war? Also maybe talk about the the reign of King Philip the 4th and how did his reign affect the Hundred years war?
I just finished the 7 hour history of middle earth and found my way here. Love the narration but the wars/battles around 9 minutes in sound indistinguishable from Tolkien lol.
Just wondering why do you have Joe Abercrombie in the thumbnail as the king?
23:32 I thought the narrator had a stroke. These medieval names are wild lol.
Cymru am byth✊️🏴
Cambrian Chronicles would be proud
1:25:34 Glyndwr succeed in capturing Aberystwyth and Harlech but not Caernarfon castle.
Kings and generals should really do a video on the history of Brittany.
Wade barrett in the thumbnail 👑👑
Please do medieval wales norway England war
Can you do Catalonia/The Crown of Aragon next?
A bit random but can we have a remaster and ending to the napoleonic war
