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

Always amazing to learn about this stuff. Even at this stage while under the assault of the Saxons, the various Viking kingdoms, and being driven into Wales and yet. These people still can't get their crap together and unite. They still are fighting with themselves! Amazing. Even an area as small as Wales and the locals still could not bring themselves to thinking of each other as the same peoples even after generations and generations of losing.

Please, if you are going to cover history involving the aboriginal Britons, Y Cymry, and it's brave peoples, learn how to pronounce names properly. You have absolutely bastardised personal and place names with your commentary! It's grotesque, as bad as the BBC newsreaders and documentary makers.
There's sadly no excuse for this by any of you!

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.

If CK2 were to do pre-1000 more realistically, there probably wouldn't be as much need for cassus belli. Seems like there was war all the time - methinks a family vendetta could just immediately erupt in war.
Unlike in the later middle ages, when there was more formalized diplomacy going on.

I give your welsh name pronunciation 6/10 maybe 7 for effort. lol it was clear you were getting more and more cba with welsh sounds as the video went on. you maybe need to work on your 'll' and 'dd' phonemes, btw single f (as in Merfyn ap Rhodri) is pronounced as a v. gd attempt though

For years I've been curious about the formation of Wales but never found much on the subject. I work with a lot of Welsh and would ask them, to my disappointment they know very little about the subject. Thanks for giving me an insight into how it became a country.

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!

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.

I know realize why the genetic signature is different in northern Wales as compared southern Wales. I just had my DNA done and I have DNA from northern Wales, but none from the south! Now I know why.
reply

wow! I am actually stunned! Thank you for this. After researching ancestry. com I found that Rhodri the great is actually my 52nd great grandfather and your video has opened my curiosity even more!
reply

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.

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.
reply

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

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.
reply

Great video! If you need a hand with pronunciation of Welsh place names (they are bloody tricky, I'm happy to send you an audio clip of whatever you need: ) Keep up the great work!
reply

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.
