CADW's Grand Design for the interpretation of Medieval Wales is faulted in so far that they have devided Wales into Pura Wallia and Marchia Wallia. Thus whilst there are Initiatives focusing on the Principalities of Gwynedd and Dehuebarth, the North East, Central Cymru and Southern Wales are given up to Initiatives on the Anglo - Norman Lords aka 'Conquistadores'. I foresee that the history of our native Princes, Lords and Chiefs in these Marchia Wallia 'Regions' will not get the attention they deserve and should, not least the continuing Welsh Resistence in these parts. A resistence that continued from the 11th Century up to time of Owain Glyndwr and I would certainly advocate that Patriots in North start to develope commemorations on and around Gruffydd ap Cynan:

Gruffudd ap Cynan ab Owain Gwynedd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

whilst the South focus on the 1315 - 16 revolt of Llywelyn Bren.

There is also needed asap, perhaps this ABH an event that symbolically links Gwynedd is Conwy and Gwynedd Uwch Conwy. Perhaps nationally we need to focus more on the revolt of 1094:

Further note, I have withdrawn support for Cymdeithas Tywysogion, I suggest it's in your interestto do so as well regard all UBG Initiatives detailed in this blog. A full report as to why is fourth coming in another of my blogs, possibly Welsh Remembrancer or The Welsh Patriot, I further suggest if you want to do anything re the above, then do it at as a Regional/Gwledydd Initiative as also detailed in this blog and, do so asap! As Cadw Initiatives are well under way.

So go to it in haste or it could be too late, it's a pity that David Hayes who hadset himself up as Initiator of Cymdeithas Tywysog had not got on with this and linked with Antur Llys Rhosyr as I suggested. Instead of linking to his Cymru 1400 'Nashy Nonsense' in association with the 'Nashy Nonsense' of Adam Phillip's Balchder Cymru. Both then fooling around in areas that really concern them little, the 45th Anniversary Cofiwch Dreweryn Commemoration, repeating the same measure of Patriotically Infantile and Politically Imature reasoning and response as they did to the 2010 Abergele Martyrs Commemoration. All they have achieved is undermine practical useful work for the sake of advancing their 'Patriotic Fantasy Fringe World' of reliving the 'Sixties' Adfywaid Gwladgarol, all pretty pathetic and worse. In so far as undermining UBG Initiatives, by leading patriots in direction of blind alley ways of no more than 'Crach Fodder' knee jerk Welsh patriotism. Fools!!!

Gethin.
