I’m hoping to reach 500 subscribers soon so I can have access to the community tab and keep you all updated, but for now I’ll just have to leave a comment here. The next video is on the way, I’m sorry its taken so long, but in exchange for the wait it’ll have a lot of extra content, I’m estimating the length to be around 40 minutes! I’m currently in the process of finishing the audio, and then I will start the animation, the whole process may take around another 2 weeks. I’m sorry for the long wait, but think of it as waiting slightly longer in exchange for a lot more content, I hope to see you then!

​@@CambrianChronicles an equally hearty congratulations from me too, from the far end of the world (Aotearoa). As a long time follower of channels like History with Hilbert or more commercial ones like Chronicle and Timeline, I appreciate the little pockets your videos occupy in the ongoing narrative of the history of the British Isles. I only hope someone is able to do similar for the many stories for my islands. Local Maori very closely guard the retelling of such stories, and there is very little "correct" way to present them to an international audience, without some form of outcry from someone. I really appreciate your honesty and attempts to pronounce post Roman/pre Norman names. You are just conveying a message, in hopes that in the sharing, the old stories and names are remembered a little while longer. Congratulations again, and apologies for the long comment reply. My channel also has less than 500 subscribers (though now I have the community tab also) it is invaluable for maintaining a small collection of loyal supporters. (Not really appropriate to call them fans at this stage, I don't think). I look forward to seeing the next thing you are working on for us to digest.

I never knew that the Ordovician and Silurian periods got their names from Wales! It took me a minute to realize that I recognized those words as the names of geologic periods. And after looking it up to check, I learned that "Cambrian" is essentially a latinized form of of the word "Welsh!"

I think it's because the first time these geological layers were discovered was in Wales. It's the same with Devonian, which comes from Devon and it was discovered first in that area.

[@SG-1-GRC]

Never thought about that before. Sometimes we are guilty of absorbing facts without any deeper thinking about them. Thanks for pointing these examples out!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Most geological periods are either named with a greek description or after the region fossils from the time were first discovered. There is also the Jurassic, named after the Jura mountains around the french-swiss border, the Devonian, named after the county of Devon, the Permian after the region of Perm in Russia, the Ediacaran, named after the Ediacara Hills in Australia, and a couple more.

You've inspired me to start calling the Cambrian Exposion "the Welsh Explosion" from now on.

[@DderwenWyllt]

I loved the little shoutout to Cantre'r Gwaelod. I've been diving off the coast of Ceredigion, and it's quite a sight, I also remember seeing the petrified tree stumps at low tide in Borth, I learnt about the myth of Cantre'r Gwaelod in school but physically seeing it is like glimpsing a look of an ancient magical kingdom that you're not supposed to see. It's easy to imagine how people came up with the myth of Cantre'r Gwaelod when you see the Sarnau stretching out into the ocean, I'd give anything to peer back in time to see what Cantre'r Gwaelod looked like before it was submerged.

[@CambrianChronicles]

That sounds really interesting! I’ve seen the petrified trees at Borth but I’d also love to see the Sarn Badrig. I agree it’s easy to see how the myth came to be, seeing these huge walls of stones out in the ocean and the remains of forests in the sand must’ve been fascinating

Hello once again! This video is the longest one I've ever made (hence why it took so long to make), so I've divided it into 3 chapters if you'd rather watch it in three 7-8 minute long segments. 0:00 - The Celts & The Romans - I describe the Celtic tribe who (probably) lived in Ceredigion - the Demetae, and the Roman conquest of this region. 7:36 - The Age of Kings - I tell you about the kingdom of Ceredigion from the Roman withdrawal to the death of their last king, Gwgon, in AD 872. 15:39 - Drowning Dynasties - We take a look at what happened to Ceredigion, why and how it seemingly disappeared from the historical record. I'd recommend watching the segments in order as the context each one provides will be pretty useful! I hope you all enjoy, comment any questions you have and I hope to see you again soon with my following video on the kingdom of Dyfed.

[@oddpoppetesq.3467]

​@@CambrianChronicles I'm a fan of E.Phillimores idea that Rheinwg was the old Welsh saying for Dyfed itself, as the historical locations of his studies of Rheinwg all lay within, nowadays, Dyfed....

Can’t wait til you cover the Ystrad Tywi (the region I live) cause that area in terms of history is very complex, even some of the historians in that area don’t really know what went on. There’s mixed medieval writings on it such as one of the towns Cydweli (Kidwelly) being named after one of the kings of Morgannwg Gwylys’s son yet quite a lot of historians agree that Ystrad Tywi was part of Dyfed not Morgannwg. There’s also Carnwyllion (Llanelli) which suddenly appears without any historical founding. What we do know though is that that the area of what is now Loughor which was a fort built on the Loughor river by the Romans was strangely completely abandoned in the mid 200s AD either due to Irish settlement or kicked out by the Britons of that region themselves.

[@CambrianChronicles]

Great video man! Great to see a channel covering Welsh History! Just wanted to say in regards to Roman activity in Ceredigion there are quite a lot of signal forts and sites along the border with Carmarthenshire along the Sarn Helen road, especially near Lampeter. A large gold mine was in Pumsaint and there are signal forts all along the valley to warn of any attack against the mine, a good example is Carreg y Bwci, which was a signal fort where a fallen standing stone is, documentation of a lot of these sites isn’t great though

There was an Iron Age Hill Fort on Pen Dinas in Aberystwyth, if that helps. The Ystwyth runs right by it, so it wasn't entirely barren of people.

[@arcadianico]

one note about the idea of intent in the death of Gwgon, it should be noted that the implications of intent that are in the English translation of mersus est aren’t *necessarily* there in the Latin. Mersus in the standard way to express someone having drowned, and while the passive leaves the agent open to interpretation, it’s actually less likely to imply intend than an active construction with the king as the object. Unless there were good reason for it, I can’t think of a situation where mersus wouldn’t be used, not to mention in the active construction with the king as the subject you would probably have to say something like “he drowned himself”. Certainly the lack of any agent leaves the sentence open to interpretation and suggestions of intent, but it’s definitely a leap. I think with the context you laid out it’s definitely possible but from the Latin itself it’s not a conclusion I would draw. This is super pedantic and tbh not even that big of a deal, but it is just something I wanted to point out. (Also if anyone has any evidence of situations we’re mersus wouldn’t be used and instead an active verb I would be very willing to change my mind, but this is all from what I have personally seen in Latin)

Had you considered that the Cantrefi may be Roman or even pre-Roman. There is some evidence that the boundaries of the Estate of the Roman villa of Chedworth in Gloucestershire closely matches the boundary of the 'hundred'. Yet these boundaries were previously thought to date from the early medieval period. Furthermore Landscape archaeologists who compared parish boundaries to ancient features believe that many are also very early and could be Roman or pre-Roman.

Cunedda was the grandson of one of four military advisers sent fron Rome in around 370 by Theodosius to beef up those of the peoples North of Hadrian's Wall who were also opposed to the Picts: the Novantae (Galloway -1) the Damnonii ((Clyde Valley -1) and the Votadini (=Gododdin - Lothian, Merse & Northumberland -2). Their descendants remained when the Rpmans abandoned Brutain in 410, and not having been in Britannia irself Cunedda was militarily far stronger to send a force to assist the British drive the Irish from West Wales (?425) than the ex province unnder threat from the Saxons.

That's how history works unfortunately. It's impossible to be certain about anything, ever, even events that happen to your own self.
