Conquest of Wales - Timelines.tv History of Britain C01

[@converter7]

730 years later and north Wales is exactly the same. In the towns English culture and language takes pride of place. Across the land are two main peoples English (calling themselves British today) and Welsh. The Welsh are still treated as inferiors in their own land. and with the West Cheshire Sub-Regional Strategy, we see this colonisation and plantation is still officially backed by the state. Wake up people. Deffro'r ddraig! Fe godwn ni eto!

@segano1 Wales at this time only had a population of around 200000. Wales was crudely annexed the the English, but the Welsh were able to keep a sense of nationhood. Wales is a country because the people of Wales consider it so!

[@tbatallen]

Well said, I went on holiday to Wales a few years ago and really enjoyed my stay, felt very welcome and would certainly be looking to go back at some point. Congrats with the grand slam too.

This is a great video - A history programne that doesn't gloss over what truly happened in Wales , as magnificent as these castle-towns were in appearance ,they were nothing more than brutal fortresses of occupation ,domination and oppression. If the people of Wales were fully aware of their own history ,they'd be less servile than they are now and would've become empowered enough to have become independent decades ago .

[@NathanWyn95]

the Romans couldn't handle the brutal welsh weather and countryside, let alone the fierce natives who have adapted, you'll never get rid of us! long live WALES!

[@danielpatrick3761]

He keeps saying that it was an English conquest, and introduced English Law, customs, buiilt English castles etc... But the fact is it was all Norman, and the English ahd been subjugated already, in the same manner, if not worse, than what came to Wales a couple of centuries later.... The British Empire, really was fundamentally Norman, and their first major colony was England. They dispossed the English (a.saxon) aristocracy overnight in 1066, at suck a stroke as never befell even the Welsh or Scots, whose local aristocracy, while under Norman dominion, were often placated with lands and titles. They commited what amounts to a genocide of the civillian pop of the North, in the Harrying of The North, laying waste to towns, villages, killing civillians, slaughtering animals and burning crops to create a famine and a blight on the land that took decades to recover from... This is not to diminish the subjugation that they put on the rest of the Islands, but the point remains. In a way England never recovered, as the Welsh, Scots and Irish kept their cultures during these times, whereas the English just became Normanised, and in a lot of ways forgot their roots, laws and customs....

[@danielpatrick3761]

Mostly Pakistani, sadly.... Seriously though, the royals and the landed gentry are still overwhelmingly of Norman heritage. It's remarkable how that's still the case...

[@cymro6537]

It was an English conquest - not Norman.

Unionists of this island have a very strange view of the history of wales. They have molded it to suit their unionist agenda. In the days where there was no internet this worked because people only had a few sources for information. Most older people in wales believe the unionist spin on welsh history. Wales is an ancient land but many of the older people in wales think wales didn't exist before the laws in wales act 1535. we also have the English historians who cant handle the idea of the welsh having a stronger claim to this island than the English can ever have. so they exclude wales as often as they can.

[@WalesTheTrueBritons]

@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd You're wrong. Henry Tudor refused to claim Wales as his own, he was seen the "King of England, of France and Lord of Ireland" His son however is a different matter. He was the one that sold Wales out. Henry knew he had no claim over Wales as he had virtually no ancestry going back to the real ruling houses of Wales. The last true Welshman who had claim to Wales was Owain Glyndwr (descended from Both Houses Bran and Aberffraw). The Highest house in Wales was that of the House of Bran....as it Descended from Macsen Wledig (considered the fsther of the Welsh nation), the last Native Prince of this House was Iestyn Ap Gwrygan of Glamorgan. The Tudors were slightly connected to a Lowly house from the north called Aberffraw....Which line began with Cunedda.

The internet is patently responsible for probably the lowest standards of education there will ever be and the very worst casualty is the accuracy of historical fact! . If you have an interest in history and wish to develop your interest into a sound standard of knowledge,- Go to school, read books, don't listen to wannabe historians with an agenda, keep learning to degree level if possible, as there will be something to learn almost every day!. Oh, by the way the legal act you mention?..... 1284, 2 years after colonisation, not 1535. 🙄

I love how the presenter is very relaxed and smug in this video, "Good ol' England" he was probably thinking. But during the video of the Norman Conquest he was very aggressive.

On the contrary ,he says that English were arrogant - he isn't smug at all.

So little on Welsh history out there - I went to buy that BBC DVD was it the story of Wales = £50 (no thank you), so it's good to get any clips to help the kids with school history - we live in North Wales. I didn't get the same racist vibes from this clip - I thought the presenter was illustrating the arrogance behind the decisions at the time, and extrapolating from Wales to British colonies in the (later) British empire, like India. It has to be said that that arrogance is the same with every aggressor; isn't the West of Europe currently being painted as degenerate by certain Eastern European nations at the moment? Personally, I am fascinated by the Welsh princes, the Marcher Lords, and Edward I's invasion of all non-Marcher lands in the 13th century.

[@SG-D]

When you say English castle building and colonies, and arrogance, I think properly this was actually Norman arrogance, castle building and Colonies, as after 1066, this is how they subjected the English, Wales, (as they called it), was just an extension to this, so I think you should get the terminology correct, I suppose there is an argument when did the Normans become English? I suppose this is would be an interesting discussion and am keen to hear your thoughts?

[@cymro6537]

According to the historian John Davies ,by the signing of the Magna carter in 1215 ,the Normans hierarchy had by then become English .Make no mistake ,it was an English conquest of Wales - not 'Norman'

[@converter7]

Why should a Welsh king give allegiance to a foreign king? English arrogance indeed, a gift from the Normans. Hail Llywelyn and hail to all Welsh princes, kings, prime-ministers and presidents past and future who stand by their people in defiance to foreign greed and live not to rule over their people but to serve their people like a true leader should. Fe godwn ni eto!

He doesnt know his history. The Welsh are the British." Welsh" is anglo saxon for foreigner and Britain was called Brittania long before the Anglo Saxons invaded and its inhabitants were called the Britons - see for example Ptolomeys map of Britain from around 2000 years ago.

Edward I, and those that followed, marginalized the Scot's heritage, and the Welsh history, it nearly did in the Irish, but not completely, and not without severe consequences.

Why do you think the English viewed the welsh as a crude people in need of English leadership. p lease give an answer other than arrogance.

[@harrycross5602]

because the english copy the romans, divide and conquer addiction, and an unhealthy appetite for theft on an embarrassing scale

[@awelshperson306]

In need of leadership? It didn't have anything with it needing leadership we HAD leadership up until we became puppets of a dictatorship. Edward the 1st detested the celts and was too greedy, England is quite name evil empire and the last chance that Wales had if freedom was killed on a snowy hillside.

[@501sqn3]

Without colonisation by England , Wales would be hundreds of years behind the rest of the world!. The reason Welsh history is difficult to find and explore is because it doesn't have any of any significance pre colonisation around the mid to late 13th century!. 🏳️

@jggrow The English couldn't conquer the Scots, they failed just as the Romans did before them, they only had 18 years of occupation in the south of Scotland from 1296~1314 until the English were driven back out of Scotland from the result of the 'Battle of Bannockburn 1314', a battle so severe to the English that it lost them the first war and took England over 20 years to recover from. Wales was the only nation that England successively conquered and incorporated as a part of England.

[@gg-eu3tr]

yea but we are still here with our culture and language

[@WalesTheTrueBritons]

Nope! Wales was never a colony of England, 1. It didn't live under English law until 1500s and that was created by a English born Welshman. And 2. Most of the English who now live in Wales came about because of empire (The Mines). It was becasue of work, not state sponsored colonisation. The Principality only ever apllied to Gwynedd and not the whole of the Kingdom of Wales that was unified in 1057. Had it done, annexation would never have happened or been needed. This is why Owain Glyndwr annulment of Edwards laws of the occupied territory is often ignored. The only part of Wales that ever swore fealty to England's was Gwynedd.
