HISTORY,or 1282 and all that!! Undoubtedly the best book on Welsh history in recent years is that of Dr. John Davies, "Hanes Cymru", or, in its English translation, "A History of Wales". It covers the entire span of Welsh history from pre-history and the Red Lady of Paviland to modern times and the miners' strike of 1984. It's a book well worth reading or even just dipping into for information about any particular period. As I can't hope to emulate John Davies's scholarship I've just put together a few significant dates in Welsh history which you may not be aware of. It is believed that Dewi Sant . (St David), our patron saint lived during this period. There are many churches dedicated to him throughout Wales, including the cathedral at St David's ( Tyddewi ). In the Middle Ages, 3 pilgrimages to St. David's was equivalent to one to Rome. His day is celebrated on 1st March and is known as Dydd Gwyl Ddewi During this period Hywel Dda (Hywel the Good) formulated the laws which were used throughout Wales until Edward I enforced the use of English law. The laws of Hywel Dda were more enlightened than some of the English laws which replaced them Prince Madog is alleged to have sailed the Atlantic and discovered America and left descendants among the Indian tribes there Prince Llywelyn ( Llywelyn ein Llyw Olaf ), the last of the Princes of Wales was killed in battle at Cilmeri. His baby daughter Gwenllian was taken by Edward I's forces and kept in a convent in Lincolnshire for the remainder of her life (50+ years!) to prevent her being a focus of rebellion by the Welsh against their English conquerors

Lynne ydw i Daily musings, rants and loves. Main September 14, 2002 Some Welsh history about the Dragon. The Red Dragon (Y Ddraig Goch) The red dragon has long been associated with the country of Wales. It is the mark of bravery and victory, and has been a symbol for the Welsh people since the Middle Ages. The dragon graces shields and standards and is part of many families crest or coat of arms. When King Henry VII was crowed as the King of England in 1485, it is said that he ordered the Red Dragon become part of the official flag of the principality of Wales. And the Welsh are fiercely proud of their Dragon. ‘Y Ddraig Goch a ddyry Gychwyn’ – the Red Dragon will show the way. However, some Englishman, who obviously has to much time on his hands, has deemed "The Dragon" to aggressive a symbol to display on a flag ~rolling eyes~ and there was talk of forcing us to change to a more serene symbol. Other Welsh symbols, and our Patron Saint - Dewi Sant St David (Dewi Sant) is the Patron saint of Wales and her people. He died on March I. This is St. David’s day in Wales and is celebrated every year. It is celebrated every year as the national day of thanksgiving, and is traditionally signified by women wearing a daffodil and the men wearing a leek, both which are Welsh National symbols.

Welsh History Neolithic (4500-2100 BC) Long barrows are from this period, or more normally just the remains of the rock slab tomb that underlay such mounds. These are generally called dolmens, but in Wales are called cromlechs. Bronze Age (2100- about 700 BC) Large number of standing stones, although no generally accepted evidence that these do come from the Bronze Age. The word for these stones menhir comes from the Welsh maen hir , long stone. Other remains are round barrows. Iron Age The arrival of the Celts, sometime between 760-700 BC. from Central Europe. Many hill forts were built. Romans The Romans arrived in Britain in 43 AD. When they arrived, they recorded four tribes in Wales - the Ordovices and Deceangli in the North, the Demetae and Silures in the South. They were resisted by the Silures of South Wales and the Ordovicians of North Wales, under Caractacus. The names of these tribes live on in the names of early geological ages. However the hill forts were no match for the Romans. The Romans destroyed the Druids in the base in Anglesey. Two legionary forts were built at Caerleon and Deva (Chester), the latter being in England (just).

Many recollections of the little town came to mind and I was busy for an hour in calling up old friends, old scenes and old times. It was in '51? That my father came to Ironton, and in the summer of that year with my mother and brothers, I came on lastly from Philadelphia, but originally from Swanseanin South Wales. At that time but a very little of what is now known as Ironton was build. The rolling company then were mostly, if not all, Welsh, and very industrious, moral and religious people they were.

Cawsom wlad i’w chadw, darn o dir yn dyst ein bod wedi mynnu byw. Cawsom genedl o genhedlaeth i genhedlaeth, ac anadlu ein hanes ni ein hunain. A chawsom iaith er na cheisiem hi, oherwydd ei hias oedd yn y pridd eisioes a’i grym anniddig ar y mynyddoedd. (rhan o ‘Etifeddiaeth’ gan Gerallt Lloyd Owen) Fel ein cefndryd yn y gwledydd Celtaidd, - Iwerddon, Yr Alban, Llydaw, Ynys Manaw a Chernyw, mae Cymru, a fu’n genedl ers dros 1500 mlynedd,yn fyw ac yn iach ac yn effro iawn heddiw. Mae hi’n wlad sy’n byrlymu o hanes,o draddodiadau a diwylliant; wedi ei bendithio droeon ag eneiniad Ysbryd Duw ac wedi’i breintio a thirwedd gogoneddus, yn cyferbynnu o’r mynyddoedd i’r dyffrynoedd, y cymoedd i’r mor. Mae sefydlu Cynulliad i Gymru ym 1999 yn gam nodedig ymlaen ar lwybr ein rhyddid,- ein gobeithion a’n dyheadau ynghyn ar doriad gwawr mileniwm newydd. Yr iaith Gymraeg yw un o’r ieithoedd hynaf a siaredir heddiw yn Ewrop, gyda chofnod o farddoniaeth cyn belled yn ol a’r 6ed ganrif. Llwyddodd y Gymraeg yn rhyfeddol, i raddau helaeth, i oroesi bygythiad ei chymydog daearyddol agosaf, yr iaith Saesneg,iaith mwyaf pwerus a dylanwadol y byd. Dros y 40 mlynedd diwethaf,gwelwyd statws newydd i’r Gymraeg, cynnydd yn ei phoblogrwydd ynghyd ag adfywiad syfrdanol yn ei defnydd mewn ardaloedd a gollodd yr iaith, megis y Gogledd-Ddwyrain a chymoedd y De. Bellach, rhyw 0.5 miliwn sy’n ei siarad allan o boblogaeth o 3 miliwn,gyda llawer rhagor yn fyd eang ac yn galonogol, mae cynnydd sylweddol yng nghanran y plant ysgol sy’n derbyn addysg trwy’r Gymraeg. Mae dosbarthiadau dysgu’r iaith i oedolion yn ddirifedi a chanolfannau a mentrau iaith yn y siroedd a’r broydd,felly,gyda dyfalbarhad, gallwn sicrhau fod gwytnwch ein pobl yn dwyn ffrwyth i’r dyfodol.

Un dydd mae dyn ifanc or enw Wil Hopcyn yn dod i Gefn Ydfa. Gweithiwr tlawd ydy Wil., ac mae e wedi dod i roi gwellt newydd ar y ty. Mae e'n canu'n hyfred wrth weithio. Mae Ann yn clywed y canu. Mae hi'n edrych allan trwy'r ffenest ac yn gweld Wil ar y to. Mae Wil yn troi ac yn gweld Ann, ac yn wir mae'r ddau yn syrthio mewn cariad yn y fan a'r lle. Ond dydy Mam Ann ddim yn hoffi Wil; dim ond gweithiwr tlawd ydy e, ac mae Ann yn ferch gyfoethog. A beth bynnag, mae Ann yn mynd i briodi dyn arall - dyn cyfoethog iawn - or enw Anthony Maddocks. O'r diwedd mae'r fam yn danfon y forwyn i ffwrdd. Nawr does neb yn cario llythyron Ann i'r goeden. Mae'r cyfan ar ben, ac mae Ann yn gorfod priodi Anthony Maddocks. Yn y briodas mae hi'n dawel ac yn llwyd. Cyn bo hir mae hi'n sal iawn. Mae Maddocks yn talu meddyg da, ond does dim byd yn gallu gwella Ann; mae hi'n mynd yn wannach a gwannach. Dydy hi ddim yn gallu byw heb Wil Hopcyn.
