Anarawd ap Rhodri: King of Gwynedd (878-916)

great video

Does the kingdom of Seisylwyg derive its name from Seis as in Welsh for Saxons?

Diolch bach!

Pretty sure it was Flann Sinna, the high king, who drove them out. Not a coalition.

Good stuff. The Welsh place names are easy enough. Try using v when you see a single F. SO Dyfed is pronounced Duhved. Its no different to trying to pronounce the Viking words. Have fun with it.

I enjoyed this thanks I like watching stuff on Ireland and Wales I didn't know for example there was a great in Wales the same.time as Alfred never heard of Rhodri etc before nice one

KYMRY MARANATHA

A bit more info, Hywel Dda (Howell the good) merged Dyfed and Seisyllwg into Deheubarth and created Welsh law Hywel's sons would later find themselves fighting the sons of Gwynedd

I appreciate the unobtrusive repetition of names & dates in the corner of the screen every time an historical figure is mentioned. It helps solidify this unfamiliar content for me.

Another good video, you have a new subscriber. You might want to learn how to pronounce the Welsh names though lol. Wondering if you might do a video on Urien Rheged Ap Cynfarch Oer, known as "The Arthur of the north"

I’m unsure of how Gwynedd fell can you explain it to me

Great video on Welsh history thanks. BTW you are pronouncing Dyfed wrong, it is 'dove-id' not 'div-id' haha. Cheers

This is wrong! I think you'll find that expelling the Danes from Dublin ENRICHED THE NEIGHBOURING CULTURES.
They were culturally enriched. Not plundered, divided and conquered. Sheesh bro.

Brilliant stuff but sadly the background "music" is annoying and uneccesary.

I speak Welsh and Dyfed is pronounced Dyved.

Thanks for this and related videos. You are great to do this, and don't worry, a mispronunciation here or a small missed detail there is fine when one considers no one else is doing anything like this and at the quality and broad scope that you cover. Well done you!

Anarawd my son

WELSH should have united under a Briton House rather than a Saxon one

I have been going through all your videos from the beginning, and love the mix of eras and kingdoms. As a Welshman from Dyfed, however, for future reference the county is pronounced 'Duv-ed' ie 'y' is said as a 'u', and a single 'f' as a v (double 'ff' is pronounced as an 'f'). Otherwise, an absolutely fine exposition of a period of history very much still in the dark as far as most people are concerned.

Thank you very much for this video as a welsh man it's nice to welsh history.

he would be my great uncle x 40 generations, roughly... I'm a descendant of his brother Cadell and his sons the kings of Deheubarth.

Glwysing was further east, the area that is on this map is wrong, it was Morgannwg, which is ancient and is still called Morgannwg, this is Bollocks, I think it was written by Monty Python, Glwysing was on the Severn Estuary and encompassed what is now Gloucestershire, the Cymric History is told very differently to this English nonsense.

So my direct ancestor is Rhydderch ap Iestyn, King of Deheubarth
Who came later. Would he be a descendant of Rhodri? Here is my tree so far ..

Thanks great video.

This is my direct bloodline traced all the way back to the 300's and it blows my mind learning about my families history

My ancestors are anglo Saxon English I say Bollox to the britions. My ancient kindred wiped their arse with Britons and picts. If not for the anglo Saxons england wouldn't have been as great as it was

Great documentary... I'm learning a lot about Wales just watching this...

Only criticism is the incorrect pronunciation of the Welsh names and place names

As someone whose father line originates in Gwynnedd, thank you for the recent Welsh histories !!

Great but Dyfed is ot pronounced Difed but Duved

❤

These videos are absolutely brilliant, but if I had one criticism it would be of the pronunciation of Welsh names. Awful pronunciation, but the content is otherwise incredible.

Fascinating,thankyou

The greatest butchery in this video is that of the pronunciation of the Welsh names. The coverage of Welsh history is appreciated, but some effort to pronounce the Welsh names would have gone a long way.

Please 🙏 talk about hywel ada I want to hear his story .

I did lol at your pronunciation of Dyfed hehehe

During Roman times the Irish functioned as Pirates and traders. I theorize the Norsemen whi were Vikings (pirates) and traders used an older Irish outpost to create Dublin and infact interbred with local descendants of Irish pirates

Wonderful video as always Pete, I really don't know how you do it. Must be the cranky old Marine in me today, or the New Year but I'm feeling bitchy. Here goes. (rant) While my relatives are split pretty much 50-50 about it. Being called Welsh, gets under my hide. I'm no stranger than the next mass murderer, so why not just call us Celts, or Celtoi, like the Greeks, and Romans? Being called one of the "tall ones", is better than being called "strange". Although The Doors did do a pretty good song about it. The English suck enough, without having their nickname for us being bandied about, like we don't care. While the actual name for ancient Celts, might better be Yamnaya, it really doesn't go tripping off the tongue, no wonder the Greeks liked Celtoi better. Please call us anything but late for dinner, or Welsh. The English certainly shouldn't get a vote on it. (/rant)

I found out he is related to me ,thank you .nevr knew anything about him

Awesome to learn about my ancestors. My dad hired a genealogist and we seem to be related to Llewelyn, Owain, and Rodri. Such interesting history!

Im a direct male descendant of Rhodri , brutus , gruffud and Llewellyn.

"Duv-ed", not "Diffed"! Hywel is pronounced roughly "How-el".
