Amazing work as always, I never thought I’d see someone on KZbin who could actually pronounce “ll” correctly! The early medieval period of Wales is definitely my favourite, I think the sparing information we have is what makes it so fascinating and mysterious.

[@bujin1977]

Very impressed with the Welsh pronunciations in this video. Most narrators from outside Wales really struggle and butcher the names! The only one that was significantly wrong was "Morgannwg", and the only other issue was where the word emphasis was placed - in Welsh, it's almost on the penultimate syllable, so "morgannwg" would be pronounced "mor-GAN-oog". But other than that, top marks!

[@PeterCrighton]

… and then he butchered Beaufort. :-D

[@Emmet_Moore]

@@PeterCrighton Not really? I mean, I'd say 'fut' rather than 'fort' but that's not far off.

[@PeterCrighton]

@@Emmet_Moore Isn’t it akin to Beauchamp? I always assumed that to be the case, but I might well be wrong. In that case I apologise and have no objection.

[@Emmet_Moore]

@@PeterCrighton There's the House of Beaufort, who actually lost their hereditary peerage in the House of Lords after New Labour's reforms and no longer go by that name. They're descended from John of Gaunt (who you might know from Shakespeare's Richard II) and their main seat is at Badminton House in Gloucestershire, which I actually visited once. Beauchamp is just another surname, although it too has heavy ties to the Anglo-French aristocracy.

[@PeterCrighton]

@@Emmet_Moore I just looked it up where I had my knowledge from. According to historical fiction author Rebecca Gablé, in both Beauchamp and Beaufort the first part is pronounced the same (“be”). Now, although she heavily studied that time period, she is a German author, so she might have gotten it wrong. But that’s why I always thought Beaufort was also pronounced like that.

[@alisonridout]

Jack, as a Welsh person I must commend your Welsh pronunciation. Only one error. Glyndwr is more like glin not glun. I live seven miles from Cardiff in the former Glamorgan.

And Tudor comes from the Welsh name Tewdwr.

[@tecwynjones6532]

I actually don't really see the problem pronouncing it as "glun". Honestly, if I heard someone pronounce it as "glin" I'd want to correct them. However, this really isn't a problem for either of us since North and South Walian is pretty different. I'm only a stones throw away from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgorgerychwyndrobwllllantisiliogogogoch (I actually kinda want to say from Bangor, but most people know Llanfair-pg better). The difference really comes from how both of us pronounce the "u". You pronounce it more like an "I", while I would pronounce it more like the "e" in "eww" Edit: But I can kinda see your point, saying that how he pronounced it is similar to "gun", or in linguistics terms, a schwa, but I hope you learnt something from the North/South divide in our language

[@KabirChattopadhyay1991]

Tolkien was actually deeply interested in Welsh history and culture, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was a (subconscious?) source for the Stewards of Gondor. Tolkien believed in inherent aesthetics of language, i.e he held the opinion that some languages are more beautiful than others structurally. I remember reading in his letters that he felt Finnish and Welsh were two of the most beautiful languages in the world, and he based much of his Sindarin and Quenya (the Elvish languages) on these two languages. I would love to learn Welsh at some point, and learn more about the rich culture of Wales. I was obsessed with the Arthurian Romances as a college student and that got me interested in the history of the British Isles. I speak English, Bengali (my native language) and a bit of Spanish, and I enjoy learning languages so it's in my bucket list.

It's important to mention that 'Prince' has a different meaning in the Welsh tradition than in the English tradition. In Wales a prince is a younger king who is actively involved in their military campaigns, whereas a king is older and is not directly involved in their military campaigns. Whilst kings are expected to be more experienced and wise, neither title is higher than the other.

The House of Abberfraw still survives. It is represented in the male line by Evan Anwyl of Tywyn. He lives in Gwynedd, North Wales. He is descended from Rhodri II of Gwynedd. He has a son Dafydd who lives in Manchester, England, and a cousin Peter who also lives in England. I don't know if there are other representatives of the male line still living. The law of succession of the House of Abberfraw dictated that a Prince of Gwynedd should be succeeded by a close male relative with legitimate born claimants having precedence over illegitimate claimants. Women and their sons were excluded from the succession in Gwynedd.

1:25 - I'll be damned... I always wonder, "Who was the first x?", "Who/what was before that?", etc.. Like I always wonder about the first kings of the various kingdoms in Britain - this list is extremely detailed. I did _not_ know history remembered the names of the _leaders_ of the Anglo-Saxon-Jute invasion of Britain... I thought it was just unorganized bands of Scandinavians/Germanic tribes. So I guess those dudes are kind of, sort of like the first kings (ish)..? I guess I always knew a _little_ about the history of England but just enough to get confused. In the last several years since I've been learning about Britain/England and the Vikings, the more I learn, the more interesting it gets. I remember my mind being blown by the fact that the Welsh are culturally/linguistically/etc distinct from the English. I mean, they're basically the "real" British/Bretons aren't they? And the "English" are the Anglo-Saxon invaders which are basically like early Vikings, right? Which is mind-blowing to me in itself - the Bretons are existing in Britain, then the Anglo-Saxons-Jutes roll up and push them off into Wales/the periphery, then much later, the Vikings do almost the same thing to the Anglo-Saxons and everyone mixes together, and then the French/Norman Viking types do it yet again at Hastings. It's like waves of Germanic and Scandinavians settling England, becoming sedentary and then being conquered by their wilder cousins.. That blows my mind too - that the Anglo-Saxons are basically Vikings - not exactly - but very similar. Weren't the Saxon and Norse languages so close that they were able to communicate? And didn't early/old English kind of form from the two? And why did it take so long for the Norse Vikings to take over England when the Anglo-Saxons had already migrated there? Did they not know about England? Seems like word would have spread up to Scandinavia like, "Hey, we're all crossing this channel over to this island to knock over these farmers and priests and take their gold and women."

It would have been interesting if you had explored that Isabelle of Mar line, because that one ends up in the House of Stewart. Meaning, by the time James VI and I assumes the throne of England and Scotland, he comes from the two big Welsh houses on the English side and the Scottish side (which means, ironically, that the most prominent descendants of the welsh royalty these days, are, well, the royal family of the United Kingdom itself).

Awesome! And excellent chart, I love it! It filled in bits I didn't know, & it'll be a great reference :)

How can I get a copy of the chart that was in this video? Much thanks!

[@bigsarge2085]

Fascinating!

[@gilsinan]

[@logos513]

Wales - It's all about the long game.

Been waiting for this! It would also be great to see the chart of House Talbot one day. They also connect to House Dinefwr and inherit their coat of arms. The Talbot connections especially after John Talbot, the first Earl of Shrewsbury and their history also seems really extensive. I'd like to see how they connect to other families.

This is cool. My Davis line is from the turders, the first tudor hen

Can you make a new family tree video about the Kings of Wessex PLEASE!

[@lordofdent2399]

You should do either the family tree of Medecalf/Metcalf’s/Metcalf or the Fairbanks family and the Fairbanks house

[@oceanrock733]

Those are both my ancestors!

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

I don't see this Chart for Sale on your site. I also don't see any for Ireland or Scotland either.

[@jparker5050]

Great video! Is this chart still available for purchase? I don’t see it listed on your website.

[@UsefulCharts]

They are included in our Timeline of the British Monarchy book, which can be found in our website, or if you're in the UK, on Amazon .co .uk
