After uploading this video it occurred to me that one more bit of evidence to support the idea that Ogmore castle was once a site dedicated by pagans to the goddess 'Bridget' is the many legends of a 'white lady' in the area. Bridget of course was the original 'white lady'. She is always depicted in white robes and with white flowers in her hair. That is why, when women wear a similar attire on their wedding day, they are described as 'brides'.
If you read the trial notes from Hereford Cathedral, the witnesses are listed and their relationship to William. A priest had added a note to the margin, it said in Latin PRIMA meaning cousin

Fascinating - thanks!
The Brigit thread is really interesting! So I wonder where the 'end' bit of Bridgend came from? Presumably 'Bristol' was Brigit's Town?
Could well be. It is a pretty speculative theory I grant you but nonetheless interesting as a possibility
