The Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the ancient civilizations and Ancient Celts continues with a second season. In the first episode we discussed the Medieval origin of Wales, taking a tour of the Cumbric Kingdoms of 6th to 8th century Britain and exploring the complex relationships they held with their Anglo-Saxon neighbours. ( • Celtic Britons: the Or... ). In the second episode, we talked about Wales during the Viking Age, as throughout the 9th and 10th centuries, the heirs of Arthur will continue the fight to preserve the independence of their ancient Kingdoms against not only the English, but the Great Heathen Army as well ( • Wales during the Vikin... ). The third episode will focus on how Wales resisted the onslaught of the new masters of England in the aftermath of the Norman invasion in the XI century.

Harold was not related to Edward by blood. He was not his half brother, he was his brother-in-law. Edward married his sister Edith. Harold had been Earl of East Anglia until around 1053, but succeeded Godwin as Earl of Wessex in that year. He fought his Welsh campaigns as Earl of Wessex.

@rebeccaorman1823 Год назад

True.

@lloyd9500 Год назад

As a Welshman I feel inclined to provide unsolicited advice for pronouncing our words. Not that the narrator got any of them wrong. In fact, he pretty much nailed it. Anyway for those interested, the key bits to understand are: 1) "dd" is pronounced "th" as in "thing" 2) "c" is always a hard c, as in "king" 3) "f" is equivalent to "v" 4) "ff" is equivalent to "f" 5) "ch" is a glottal "kh" sound, similar to "loch" in Scots Gaelic 6) "ll" is probably the hardest for non-native speakers. Closest would be a "thl" sound, but even that isn't quite right 7) "w" is an "oo" sound, as in "loo" 8) "y" is an "uh" sound, unless at the end of the word where it is pronounced "i" as in "if" 9) "r" is always a rolling r, similar to the Italian or Spanish pronunciation 10) "rh" is a "hr", as if you're hissing air out at the same time as rolling an r. So "rhino" becomes "hrino" There's a lot more, but this is a good starter for 10! Diolch

@manatarms7652 Год назад

For King Gruffydd ap Llewelyn (much like the creatively named Llewelyn ap Gruffydd in 1277) the biggest enemy wasn’t the invading English. It was the Welsh that he had conquered in order to gain a “unified Wales”, or more accurately, an enlarged Gwinedd/Powys (Gruffydd was king of both). Without Welsh infighting , the Saxons/Normans/English would have gotten nowhere in Wales.

Renacting the roman turtle formation added with somekind of A3 phalanxes which where somewhat efficient to deflect arrows... Rather than emphasizing heavy cavalry charges.
