Absolutely!

[@elizabethchoymoorman6381]

Agreed. Magnificent beast

[@debbieflaherty1975]

Greg Davies on Graham Norton’s chat show is my favorite….his stories are the best!

[@HRHDMKYT]

So hilarious that Greg Davies has a moment of 'delusions of grandeur' when he hears he's descendant from the first Prince of Wales... only to be brought down quite a few pegs when he finds out that EVERYONE in the pub is descendant from that same 12-century 'royal' (as are most of the people living in the surrounding area).

[@lallred1911]

I thought myself pretty special when I found some of my ancestors came to America on the Mayflower. Then I found out I was one of about ten million who could claim that.

[@CradleEpiscopalian56]

Absolutely doesn't matter WHATSOEVER!!! 🥰

[@adelaidepineau3856]

Yep, Same when I discovered I'm descendent of Robert the Bruce 😅

[@ahighlandlegacyboergoats]

It's a very rural area with small villages that families stayed in for generations that's why, my gg grandfather was from that area and so I'm told only one of the family to ever leave and he could also in a clear line trace his family back as well. Welsh Family history is important to the Welsh people.

[@evangee13]

@@ahighlandlegacyboergoats My grandfather was from that area( born in 1889 to give you a timescale ) He went away to sea aged 13, as those small farms could only support a few people. Many men and boys did the same in those times and before, so they travelled far and wide and no doubt plenty settled elsewhere, my grandfather settled in South Wales. This is from the snowdonia heritage website The captains of Nefyn and their crews would sail to the far corners of the world during this period, in ships built on Nefyn beach. The families were very familiar with Labrador and Bombay, and rounding the Horn was a familiar experience to them

[@kevinpople7828]

Owain Ap Gruffudd (Owain Gwynedd, Owain Mawr) 1100-1170 is my 25th great-grandfather! x

[@jasoncowley4718]

We are ALL the Prince of Wales! 26th great grandfather here.

[@DjinnRummy]

Greg is such a delightful human being ✨💛✨

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

I have only seen him on The Graham Norton Show on KZbin. He's funny and has great stories to tell

[@DjinnRummy]

@@CraigGrant-sh3in check him out on Would I Lie To You (on youtube), it’s an awesome and super funny panel show and Greg Davies has been on there several times!

[@robertab7341]

I love the programme and the history and family tales that have a some truth but not the whole truth, but this take by Greg had me laughing and amused. So refreshing!!

[@elenaodonovan785]

I love him

[@helenl3193]

Turns out the Prince of Wales was the friends/people he met along the way...

[@ColaBobsHICKMAN]

I’m the 37th great granddaughter of Alfred the Great.. I have English Irish Scottish Welsh French Bavarian German Spanish Macedonian Italian Royals in my tree tracing my tree all the way back to Basil de constantinople to the princess of Armenia and to the Romans’ I done a dna test which confirmed I was English Irish Welsh Balkan Italian Greek. What I learnt during my research since 2014 was my ancestors were at war with each other throughout many generations it’s been an interesting journey

[@p.sandratangkulung6451]

you’re prove of peace then

[@ColaBobsHICKMAN]

@@p.sandratangkulung6451 and it proof not prove 🤣

[@MaineCoonMama18]

My ancestors fought each other a lot too (American, German, English, Irish, Welsh & Scots-Irish). Two of my ancestors actually fought on opposing sides of the same battle in the American Civil War. I always knew the 2 sides of my family would have generally fought against each other in that war, but I had no idea it would be quite so specific.

[@Africa-ky1bg]

Well...when you consider with wars - where the rulers family and descendents would be "protected" ...I'm sure those that were being killed ....were the end of their bloodline - so that only leaves the preferred or favored people to be fruitful & multiply.

[@StuartFuckingLittle]

I am to believe that everybody who has even a drop of English ancestry is related to King Edward III. You may still be a descendant, although that would be incredibly hard to prove too. With the sparcity of records before 1800 even, it's incredibly unlikely, although still possible.

[@PandaNFriends23]

"I knew it" We knew it too. That's why Katherine Ryan made you a Lord over a small square plot of land, Lord Davies.

[@auntlynnie]

That was where my brain went, too! 😂

[@wendywobbles1]

"What a view" Stunning to us in this day and age, can't imagine the farmers from back in the days of horse and carts or hobbed boots would agree esp in the winter time

[@Sal.K--BC]

If Owen Gwynedd had 19 children in the 1100s, he probably has millions of living descendants now... (EDIT: I posted that before he went into the pub cuz I didn't realize they'd make that clear)

[@11Kralle]

Over a billion (if a generation lasted 30 years)

[@TheMijman]

@@11Kralle over a billion? Most of which would be alive, statistically.

[@billijomaynard8924]

More then 19, he had at least 25 that are known of, here is the list, also he is an ancestor of all Kings and Queens of England from 1485 onward as Henry Tudor (King Henry VII) also was descended from him. Henry married the daughter of King Edward IV, Elizabeth of York who i'm descended from through their daughter, Margaret so he is my ancestor as well. Rhun ab Owain Gwynedd Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd Iorwerth "Drwyndwn" ab Owain Gwynedd Maelgwn ab Owain Gwynedd Gwenllian ferch Owain Gwynedd Dafydd ab Owain Gwynedd Rhodri ab Owain Gwynedd Angharad ferch Owain Gwynedd Margaret ferch Owain Gwynedd Iefan ab Owain Gwynedd Cynan ab Owain Gwynedd Rhirid ab Owain Gwynedd Rhirid ab Owain Gwynedd Madoc ab Owain Gwynedd Cynwrig ab Owain Gwynedd Gwenllian ferch Owain Gwynedd Einion ab Owain Gwynedd Iago ab Owain Gwynedd Ffilip ab Owain Gwynedd Cadell ab Owain Gwynedd Rotpert ab Owain Gwynedd Idwal ab Owain Gwynedd

You too?! I thought it was just me. I had to unlink him in my online tree, because A) I can’t read medieval german or Latin. And B. The tree just spiraled out of control. Just too much information coming in way to fast. I’m pretty sure about the link to both Langobards (250AD) and Clodio Merovingian.... is it correct? 🤷🏼‍♂️

How come nobody ever comes from the village ditch digger?

There are usually no/ very few records on the village ditch digger back that far. They probably do come from a lot of ordinary people, but it's harder to find them.

[@slydoll7877]

I bloody do. I did loads of research, convinced I was related to someone grand and important only to find out my family were stolidly in the same bleak part of the North West of England no matter how far back I went and they were all mill workers and farm hands. I stopped in about 1650 because I could just tell it was going nowhere lol.

[@AmaraEmme]

Greg inherited his eyebrows haha

[@MusicUnderMyBreath]

I think it would be really interesting to see if Humor is somehow a genetic gift. even if it's just haveing neurons that snap a little faster in a certain regard. Because I don't know anything about my family beyond grandparents. My sisters and I just attribute our ability to tell hilarious stories to our mum raising us on her own. But we joke that it's genetic. even though we have no evidence of that.

[@gryffindor712]

Remember in taskmaster how one of the comedians, bought land in his name and made lord Greg Davies , part true .

In this context, prince and king are used interchangeably, from what I understand.
