The Kingdom of Gwynedd was a powerful and influential state in Britain during the Middle Ages. Although much smaller and weaker than its rapidly arriving neighbours, the Anglo-Saxons, the Welsh of Gwynedd were more than capable of defending their homeland, and carving out their place in the history of Wales with a rich history marked with conflict, defiance and song.
Wales, and Welsh history, is often overlooked in the history of Britain, its existence merely a footnote in the much larger and more influential writings from England, Scotland and Ireland.
Sometimes it's nice to explore the footnotes of history, buried underneath pages and volumes of books, and hours of content made about the bigger countries, lies unspoken and unwatched stories, from places that have every right to be heard.
So today, I'm bringing that to you. From the country that gave you the longbow, radar, and the NHS, to the world that gave us the internet, better-tasting food, and weather that included more than two days of sun per year.
I hope you enjoy.
