[@figodwnnieto2581]

Except for where he says near the beginning that there was never a single Welsh state. Gruffydd ap Llywelyn conquered all of Wales and united for a short time as one kingdom until his death in 1063.

[@szeplakizeta9372]

Greetings from Hungary! The welsh and hungarian history has a lot in common, especially when we talk about foreign occupation… In the 19th century, after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49, Emperor Franz Joseph asked of our poets (János Arany) to write a “praise-poem” about him, and he wrote one called “The bards of Wales”. The poem is a metaphor for the Habsburg rule over Hungary. In the ballad Edward I visits the newly conquered Wales and demands the bards to praise him, but every single one of them sings about his tyranny. Later the king sends 500 bards to death, but he becomes crazy beacuse of the remorse.

[@avenaoat]

Antal Szerb wrote a mistic novel with Welsh characters too in Hungary and the novel is very popular here.

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

I always see comments like this from Hungarians on videos about Wales. Not with that fact before but just showing love/respect. It makes me proud that we have such supporters outside our little country. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🍻 🇭🇺

[@Smithy1991]

1:04:00 they did NOT style themselves as princes in subservience to England. Prince is short for princep as in governor in Latin. This enraged the British and it meant king of kings for the welsh. So far this is the only mistake I have found in the entire video up to this point. Good job!

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

Ha! I was about to comment the same thing. Essentially “Emperor of Britons”

[@erwanmarie8756]

Tiny (possible) correction at 1:04:10 when it is stated that the use of “Prince” was a sign of a defiance because it is derived from Princeps in Latin and would connote a status above just a king of a region. Once Cymru was fully taken over, the title’s meaning was changed from “the first man” to essentially “first in line”. I could be wrong but this is the way I’ve seen the evolution of “Prince of Wales” explained before in some sources (Edited time stamp) (Second edit) I think this is also backed up by the recorded and translate word/speech starting 1:11:30

i love to video but I think you made one small mistake. when the title of 'price of Wales ' was declared, 'Prince' wasn't a title considered lower than a king but actually a title previously used by the Roman emperor, thus a deliberate ploy to declare a higher standing than the king of England (at least that's what a very convincing KZbin video i watched said)

King Arthur was a Romano Briton who fought back the Anglo Saxons so by today's standard he was most definitely Welsh. There is a stained glass window of him in Llandaff Cathedral, Cardiff. He is depicted next to King Tewdrig of Morgannwg (a martyr and Saint) and Cadwlader, the famed last King of the Britons.

[@digit-zero]

"The Red Dragon of Cadwaladr" does not exist. The flag was first used by Henry Tudor, and was inspired by Owain's golden dragon, and a possibly used Red Dragon on black background design, which followed the tale of Dinas Emrys. He added the green and white to symbolise the Tudor Rose in the flag's colours. The myth of Cadwaladr using a red dragon flag is extremely subscribed too, considering no accounts from Cadwaladr's reign describe him ever flying such a flag.
