NANHYSGLAN, BERA MAWR JUNE 1283: ACTUAL SITE OF THE CAPTURE OF DAFYDD III CONTINUED - See previous post.









FURTHER INFORMATION

and an explanation (2017).




The present memorial site depicted overleaf was chosen to for two reasons, the one being location allows for easy access for majority of people inc children, senior citizens and the disabled. Secondly, the boughed oak and sapling appeared to us as very symbolic of a potentially resurgent Nation and people.

 

The actual site of historic event described over took place in either a cave on Bera Mawr or in an ‘Hovel’ on a bog near ‘Nanhysglan’ on Bera Mawr (visible in fotos and reached via the Abergwyngregyn waterfall), so history records and we shall further research and one day place another memorial in this location. The event took place on June 21 or 22 and a short time later Edaward on 28 June 1283 declared his war on Cymru/Wales at and end. Soon there after the Royal Treasures of Gwynedd/Cymru including ‘Y Croes Naid’ was handed over to him by the same breed of ‘Welsh Traitors’ who had betrayed Dafydd and his family at ‘Nanhysglan’.

 

Dafydd III has not been given a good nor fair write up by welsh historians but such aside it is important to be mindful that in the last days of struggle for Welsh Independence he had fought to a most bitter and awful sad conclusion. It is a dark tragic end to the Principality of Gwynedd and Welsh Independence. Such being worthy of recording, memorialising and commemorating. As much as ‘Cilmeri’ 11 Rhagfyr 1282.
