Excellent video and a very important historical place in my opinion...i highly recommend a book which mentions and clearly shows Tydfil and her ancestry through her father Brychan and back further to the ancient Kings of Wales this book is titled the holy kingdom written by Adrian Gilbert Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett this book is available on eBay for less than 10 pounds and an excellent read in fact the author adrian Gilbert has ties to merthyr tydfil as his parents originally were from here...looking forward to the next episode on this great stuff very interesting
I heard years ago 3 very large skeletons were found under the floor somewhere in the the range of 12 feet tall which doesn't surprise me as skeletons of this size from that era have been found all over the world, St tydfil definitely existed she was a daughter of Brychan who was a cousin of uther pendragon the high king of Glamorgan and gwent around 540 ad i have the genealogy charts of this royal Welsh family which clearly shows Tydfil ...kindly given to me a few years back by Ross Broadstock (RIP) of the Britain's hidden history channel ...TYDFIL was shown to be one of brychans 36 children (12 sons and 24 daughters) from at least 3 or 4 wives. This family tree chart. Is titled. The Glamorgan & Gwent royal family tree 322-1091 AD this chart comes from the book of Llandaff, Dyfed Court records and the Brecon manuscripts which are all very ancient records and manuscripts
be intersting to find the source of information on the 3 skelotons mate as i think iv only read about 1 but no doubt more would have been there, read so many diff storys on tydfil, some even said he was a man, will check that out, gutted about ross, we was planning to come to merthyr to film some stuff until that awful night.... wel have to meet up soon for a cupa and chat
Definitely yes ,nice to know someone else has looked at the Wilson and Blackett research and histories they revealed ,I've spoke to loads of people from merthyr over the years about it and none of them seem to have come across it nor care for it ...I wonder if there's any technology that could possibly scan through the floor or walls and get a picture or x-ray or something of this large skeleton but then again if it was a lead coffin I doubt an x-ray would work but a metal detection could show the dimensions of the size of this lead coffin
If you can Shirley could you do a video about the Celtic cross where Martyr Tydfil was slain ..? Or if you already have send me a link please.
