- The Commission on Devolution in Wales (Welsh: Comisiwn ar Ddatganoli yng Nghymru), also known as the Silk Commission, was an independent commission established by Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan on 11 October 2011. The commission was based at the Wales Office Cardiff headquarters, at Cardiff Bay and met for the first time on 4 November 2011 at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. The commission reviewed the case for the devolution of fiscal powers to the Welsh Assembly and considered the case for increasing the powers of the assembly. It published its findings in two parts.The terms of reference for the commission were:
- To review the case for the devolution of fiscal powers to the National Assembly for Wales and to recommend a package of powers that would improve the financial accountability of the Assembly, which are consistent with the United Kingdom’s fiscal objectives and are likely to have a wide degree of support.
- To review the powers of the National Assembly for Wales in the light of experience and to recommend modifications to the present constitutional arrangements that would enable the United Kingdom Parliament and the National Assembly for Wales to better serve the people of Wales.

卡菲利（英語：Caerphilly；威爾斯語：Caerffili）'s site has long been of strategic significance. Around AD 75 a fort was built by the Romans during their conquest of Britain. An excavation of the site in 1963 showed that the fort was occupied by Roman forces until the middle of the 2nd century.The name of the town in Welsh, Caerffili, means "the fort (caer) of Ffili", the identity of Ffili being uncertain. Tradition states that a monastery was built in the area by St Cenydd, but despite this claim lacking support, the district was formerly named Senghenydd after him and his son, St Ffili, is said to have built a fort in the area and thus gave the town its name.[8] Another explanation given for the toponym is that the town was named after the Anglo-Norman Marcher Lord, Philip de Braose.Following the Norman invasion of Wales in the late 11th century, the area of Sengenhydd remained in Welsh hands. By the middle of the 12th century the area was under the control of the Welsh chieftain Ifor Bach (Ifor ap Meurig). His grandson Gruffydd ap Rhys was the final Welsh lord of Sengenhydd, falling to the English nobleman Gilbert de Clare, the Red Earl, in 1266.[7] In 1267 Henry III was forced to recognise Llywelyn ap Gruffudd as Prince of Wales, and by September 1268 Llywelyn had secured northern Sengenhydd. Gilbert de Clare had already begun to take steps to consolidate his own territorial gains, beginning the construction of Caerphilly Castle on 11 April 1268. The castle would also act as a buffer against Llewelyn's own territorial ambitions and was attacked by the Prince of Wales' forces before construction was halted in 1270. Construction recommenced in 1271 and was continued under the Red Earl's son, Gilbert de Clare, 8th Earl of Gloucester. With only interior remodelling carried out to the castle by Hugh le Despenser in the 1320s, Caerphilly Castle remains a pure example of 13th century military architecture and is the largest castle in Wales, and the second largest in Britain (after Windsor).

The Great Orme (Welsh: Y Gogarth) is a limestone headland on the north coast of Wales, north-west of the town of Llandudno. Referred to as Cyngreawdr Fynydd by the 12th-century poet Gwalchmai ap Meilyr, its English name derives from the Old Norse word for sea serpent. The Little Orme, a smaller but very similar limestone headland, is on the eastern side of Llandudno Bay.The Great Orme is a peninsula made mostly of limestone and dolomite, formed during the Early Carboniferous part of the Earth's geological history. Most of the Great Orme's rocks are between 339 and 326 million years old. The upper surface of the Great Orme is particularly noted for its limestone pavements covering several headland areas. There are also rich seams of dolomite-hosted copper ore. The Great Orme copper mine was estimated to have produced enough copper to make about 2,000 tons of bronze during the Bronze Age.

斯諾登山 Snowdon (/ˈsnoʊdən/; Welsh: Yr Wyddfa, pronounced [ər ˈwɪðva]) is the highest mountain in Wales, at an elevation of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles outside the Scottish Highlands. It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in Gwynedd.「Yr Wyddfa」在威爾斯文解作「鐘狀山」。
- In Welsh folklore, the summit of Snowdon is said to be the tomb of Rhitta Gawr, a giant. This is claimed to be the reason for the Welshname Yr Wyddfa, literally meaning "the tumulus". Rhitta Gawr wore a cloak made of men's beards, and was slain by King Arthur after claiming Arthur's beard. Other sites with Arthurian connections include Bwlch y Saethau, on the ridge between Snowdon and Y Lliwedd, where Arthur himself is said to have died. A cairn, Carnedd Arthur, was erected at the site and was still standing as late as 1850,[23] but no longer exists.[26] According to the folklore, Arthur had Bedivere throw his sword Excalibur into Glaslyn, where Arthur's body was later placed in a boat to be carried away to Afallon. Arthur's men then retreated to a cave on the slopes of Y Lliwedd, where they are said to sleep until such time as they are needed. Merlin is supposed to have hidden the golden throne of Britain among the cliffs north of Crib y Ddysgl when the Saxons invaded.[59] Glaslyn was also the final resting place of a water monster, known as an afanc (also the Welsh word for beaver), which had plagued the people of the Conwy valley. They tempted the monster out of the water with a young girl, before securing it with chains and dragging it to Glaslyn. A large stone known as Maen Du'r Arddu, below Clogwyn Du'r Arddu, is supposed to have magical powers. Like several other sites in Wales, it is said that if two people spend the night there, one will become a great poet while the other will become insane.[60] Llyn Coch in Cwm Clogwyn has been associated with the Tylwyth Teg (fairies), including a version of the fairy bride legend.

- Ivor Roberts-Jones RA (2 November 1913 – 9 December 1996) was an English sculptor of Welsh heritage on both his parents' sides. He is best known for his sculpted heads of notable people such as Yehudi Menuhin and George Thomas, Viscount Tonypandy. He was born in Oswestry,where one of his works, "The Borderland Farmer", stands in the town centre. In 1971 he was commissioned to produce the full-length statue of Winston Churchill which now stands in Parliament Square, London.[2] The organiser of the appeal to raise money for the statue did not like its initial appearance, and reported: "At the moment the head is undoubtedly like Churchill, but perhaps not quite right of him at the pinnacle of his career. The cheeks, the eyes, the forehead and the top of the head require improvement. I told Mr Roberts-Jones that above the eyes I thought I was looking at Mussolini." The sculptor promised to "remove the dome of the head to bring about a lowering of the forehead".
Risca (Welsh: Rhisga) is a town of approximately 11,700 people in south-east Wales, within the Caerphilly County Borough and the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire. Risca has a railway station, opened on the Ebbw Valley Railway in February 2008, after a gap of 46 years. It is split into two communities; Risca East and Risca West.
-There is evidence of human habitation in the Risca area going back thousands of years, such as the Silures hillfort on nearby Twmbarlwm, however the area was rural and sparsely populated until the nineteenth century. As local industries expanded and transport links improved with the building of the canal and railways, the population rapidly increased.Several arguments have been put forward for the derivation of the name Risca/Rhisgaincluding that it comes from the Welsh yr is cae meaning "the lower field" or yr hesg caemeaning "field or rushes" or rhisgl meaning oak bark.The earliest known official use of the name Risca for the place was in 1476 when two men from Risca were charged at the Newport Assizes although there are also ecclesiastical documents which go as far back as 1146 which include a man called Kadmore de Risca.From 1540, Risca is found regularly in land transactions involving the Tredegar estates and in 1747 John Wesley recorded a visit in his diary.

- The Lords of Afan ruled over an area between the rivers Afan and Neath in Glamorgan between c. 1100 and the latter half of the 14th century.In 1091 the Normans took control of Glamorgan from its former ruler Iestyn ap Gwrgant. His son Caradog ab Iestyn retained control over part of the lands in the area of the Afan valley. He built a castle at Aberavon and he and his descendants became known as the 'Lords of Afan'. There were 10 lords overall. Over time they became more Norman than Welsh. When the 6th lord, Morgan Fychan, died in 1288 he was known as the Lord of Avene. However, his son Leisan became the first be known by the Norman-style surname "D'Avene" and he named his sons John and Thomas. By 1373 the lords had gone and the land was now under the control of Edward le Despencer, Lord of Glamorgan. Today one of the pubs of Port Talbot is named "The Lord Caradoc" in memory of the first of the Lords of Afan.

He was knighted in 1852 and raised to the peerage in 1861.Born at Bradford on Avon, in Wiltshire, he was the eldest son of the physician Richard Bethell of Bristol and Jane (née Baverstock). He was from an old Welsh family originally named Ap Ithel. His younger brother was John Bethell. He was educated in Bath and Bristol before attending Wadham College, Oxford at only 14 years old. He received a scholarship the next year. He took first-class honors in classics and second class in mathematics, and he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1818, having been elected a fellow. In 1823, Bethell was called to the bar at the Middle Temple.His principal legislative achievements were the passing of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857, and of the Land Registry Act 1862 (generally known as Lord Westbury's Act), the latter of which in practice proved a failure.

The son of a Welsh trade unionist (later a Labour MP and government minister), Roy Jenkins was educated at Oxford University and served as an intelligence officer in the Second World War. Elected to Parliament as a Labour member in 1948, he served in several major posts in Harold Wilson's First Government. As Home Secretary in 1965–1967, he sought to build what he described as "a civilised society", with measures such as the effective abolition in Britain of both capital punishment and theatre censorship, the decriminalisation of homosexuality, relaxing of divorce law, suspension of birching and the liberalisation of abortion law. As Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1967–1970, he pursued a tight fiscal policy. On 8 July 1970, he was elected Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, but resigned in 1972 because he supported entry to the Common Market, while the party opposed it. When Wilson re-entered government in 1974 Jenkins returned to the Home Office, but increasingly disenchanted by the leftward swing of the Labour Party,[citation needed] he chose to leave British politics in 1976 and was appointed President of the European Commission in 1977, serving until 1981: he was the first and likely only British holder of this office considering the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union in June 2016. In 1981, dismayed with the Labour Party's leftward swing under Michael Foot, he was one of the "Gang of Four" – more centrist Labour MPs who formed the Social Democratic Party (SDP). In 1982 he won a famous by-election in a Conservative seat and returned to parliament; he was "Prime Minister Designate" of the SDP-Liberal Alliance in the 1983 election but after disappointment with the performance of the SDP he resigned as SDP leader. In 1987, Jenkins was elected to succeed Harold Macmillan as Chancellor of the University of Oxford following the latter's death; he held this position until his death. A few months after becoming Chancellor, Jenkins was defeated in his Hillhead constituency by the Labour candidate. Jenkins accepted a life peerage and sat as a Liberal Democrat. In the late 1990s, he was an adviser to Tony Blair and chaired the Jenkins Commission on electoral reform. Roy Jenkins died in 2003, aged 82.

Geraint Gruffydd suggests c. 1315-c. 1350 as his dates; other scholars[who?] place him a little later, c. 1320-c. 1370.)
- 马比诺吉昂The Mabinogion (Welsh pronunciation: [mabɪˈnɔɡjɔn] ) are the earliest prose stories of the literature of Britain. The stories were compiled in Middle Welsh in the 12th–13th centuries from earlier oral traditions. There are two main source manuscripts, created c. 1350–1410, as well as a few earlier fragments. The title covers a collection of eleven prose stories of widely different types, offering drama, philosophy, romance, tragedy, fantasy and humour, and created by various narrators over time. There is a classic hero quest, "Culhwch and Olwen"; a historic legend in "Lludd and Llefelys," complete with glimpses of a far off age; and other tales portray a very different King Arthur from the later popular versions. The highly sophisticated complexity of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi defies categorisation. The stories are so diverse that it has been argued that they are not even a true collection.Scholars from the 18th century to the 1970s predominantly viewed the tales as fragmentary pre-Christian Celtic mythology, or in terms of international folklore. There are certainly components of pre-Christian Celtic mythology and folklore, but since the 1970s[4] an understanding of the integrity of the tales has developed, with investigation of their plot structures, characterisation, and language styles. They are now seen as a sophisticated narrative tradition, both oral and written, with ancestral construction from oral storytelling, and overlay from Anglo-French influences.

- Llyn y Fan Fach (Welsh meaning "lake of the small hill") is a lake of approximately 10 hectares on the northern margin of the Black Mountain in Carmarthenshire, South Wales and lying within the Brecon Beacons National Park.A folklore legend is connected with the lake, known as the Lady of the Lake.The Lady of the Lake (French: Dame du Lac, Demoiselle du Lac, Welsh: Arglwyddes y Llyn, Cornish: Arloedhes an Lynn, Breton: Itron an Lenn, Italian: Dama del Lago) is a name or a title used by several fairy-like enchantresses in the Matter of Britain, the body of medieval literature and mythology associated with the legend of King Arthur. They play pivotal roles in many stories, including providing Arthur with the sword Excalibur, eliminating Merlin, raising Lancelot after the death of his father, and helping to take the dying Arthur to Avalon. Today the Lady of the Lake is best known as either Nimuë (Nimue), or several scribal variants of Ninianne and Viviane. Medieval authors and copyists produced various forms of the latter, including Nimane (Vulgate Merlin, in addition to "Viviane"), Nimanne / Niv[i]en[n]e / Vivienne (Huth Merlin), Vivien, Vivian, Nimiane/Niniame (Arthour and Merlin and Henry Lovelich's English Merlin Continuation), Nymenche (Lancelot Propre), Nin[i]eve (Post-Vulgate Suite du Merlin), Niniane (Livre d'Artus), Niviana (Baladro del Sage Merlin), and Ui[n/ui]ane (Estoire de Merlin), among other variations, including alternate spellings with the letter i written as y (such as Nymanne or Nynyane). The most primitive French form might be Niniane. The form Nimue, in which the letter e can be written as ë or é, has been popularized by Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur and itself has several variations: in William Caxton's edition, her name appears as Nymue, Nyneue and Nynyue, but it had been rather Nynyve (predominantly) and Nenyve in Malory's original Winchester Manuscript.
- Cantre'r Gwaelod, also known as Cantref Gwaelod or Cantref y Gwaelod (English: The Lowland Hundred), is a legendary ancient sunken kingdom said to have occupied a tract of fertile land lying between Ramsey Island and Bardsey Island in what is now Cardigan Bay to the west of Wales. It has been described as a "Welsh Atlantis" and has featured in folklore, literature, and song.Cantre'r Gwaelod was an area of land which, according to legend, was located in an area west of present-day Wales which is now under the waters of Cardigan Bay. Accounts variously suggest the tract of land extended from Bardsey Island to Cardigan or as far south as Ramsey Island. Legends of the land suggest that it may have extended 20 miles west of the present coast.

- https://www.quora.com/Is-Welsh-a-language-or-an-English-dialect I live in the South Wales Valleys and we speak a dialect called Wenglish (but it’s getting less common) or as we say, we talk tidy like, which an English speaker would probably understand most of the words but not the phrases or meanings. For example, if “you’re off work, bad in bed and under The Doctor” (bad pronounced bard) you are so sick that you are in bed and been prescribed treatment by the local GP you are not at home having crap sex, bottoming for a doctor (or timelord).Like is used randomly as punctuation to a sentence and a pause as well as in the normal English use. “Now” means “sometime soon” not immediately, ”Now, in a minute” means “much later” and“I’m not being funny but..” means “this is serious, I really mean it”.If you know lots of people with the same name they might be known by their occupation for example Dai the Bws, is a man called Dai (David) who drives the bus, at work he will be address by all as “Drive” - all bus drivers are called Drive and are thanked when you get off, where as Dai the Shop is David who owns the local Shop. Anyone regardless of gender can be called butt, butty or boyo.“Duw” pronounced “Jew” is an older way of saying “Oh my God”
- Welsh has some Latin influence from the Roman period in words like “pont” for “bridge” or in personal names like “Aneirin” (“Honorius”) or “Geraint” (“Gerontius”).https://www.quora.com/Why-is-English-a-Germanic-language-and-not-a-Roman-language-Britannia-was-a-Roman-province-for-almost-400-years

- *******There’s a small town further up the South Wales Valleys from me that’s called Beddau. I have yet to meet anyone who does not know Welsh and can pronounce it properly.Bed-die? No. Bed- door? Try again.It’s actually pronounced “Bather” as in one who bathes.Then you get the things like the Welsh letter “F” sounds like a “V” in English as the Welsh letter “Ff” gives the same sound as the English “F” and that some letters change depending on what word they follow.For example, the Welsh name for Cardiff is Caerdydd, but you might also see it written as Gaerdydd or Nghaerdydd. https://www.quora.com/Is-Welsh-a-language-or-an-English-dialect

History
- The Principality or Kingdom of Gwynedd(Latin: Venedotia or Norwallia; Middle Welsh: Guynet,) was one of several successor states to Rome which emerged in 5th-century Britain during the Coming of the Saxons. Based in northwest Wales, therulers of Gwynedd repeatedly rose to preeminence and were acclaimed as "King of the Britons" before losing their power in civil wars or invasions. The unitary kingdom of the Gruffydd ap Llywelyn was shattered by a Saxon invasion in 1063 just prior to the arrival of the Normans, but thetraditional dynasty restored by Gruffudd ap Cynan slowly recovered until Llywelyn the Great of Gwynedd was able to proclaim thePrincipality of Wales at Aberdyfi in 1216. That realm lasted until the invasions ofEdward I in 1283. Welsh tradition credited the founding of Gwynedd to the British tribe of Y Gododdin (from Old Welsh Guotodin, earlier Votadini) from Lothian invading the lands of theBrythonic Deceangli, Ordovices, andGangani in the 5th century. The sons of their leader Cunedda Wledig were said to have possessed the land between the rivers Dee and Teifi. The true borders of the realm varied over time, but Gwynedd Proper was generally thought to comprise the cantrefs of Aberffraw, Cemais, andCantref Rhosyr on Anglesey andArllechwedd, Arfon, Dunoding, Dyffryn Clwyd, Llŷn, Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Tegeinglon the mountainous mainland opposite. The modern preserved county of Gwynedd and principal area of Gwynedd are both somewhat smaller.
- The Treaty of Montgomery was an Anglo-Cambriantreaty signed on 29 September 1267 inMontgomeryshire by which Llywelyn ap Gruffudd was acknowledged as Prince of Wales by King Henry III of England (r. 1216–1272). It was the only time an English ruler recognised the right of a ruler of Gwynedd over Wales. Llywelyn's grandfather Llywelyn the Great had previously laid claim to be the effective prince of Wales by using the title "Prince of Aberffraw, Lord of Snowdon" in the 1230s, after subduing all the other Welsh dynasties. Likewise Llywelyn's uncle,Dafydd ap Llywelyn, claimed the title of Prince of Wales during his reign from 1240 to 1246. However, Llywelyn's supremacy in the late 1260s forced recognition of his authority in Wales by an English Crown weakened by internal division.

- 80 years ago, for 200 Jewish children, Gwrych Castle in Wales was a salvation from almost certain death in Nazi occupied Europe.On November 15 1938, shortly after the horrific events of Kristallnacht, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was convinced he should finally do something to help the Jews of Europe. He allowed for a small number of children under the age of 17 to be granted temporary refuge as long as they were not with their parents.All sorts of British Jewish organisations helped in the effort to find homes for these youngsters and the 200-year-old castle — belonging to the philanthropic Earl of Dundonald which had already been empty for some years — was leased by the newly formed religious Zionist Bnei Akiva movement; it was a place where the children would not only be safe but could also train in agriculture so they could be pioneers in Palestine.In many ways Gwrych was a model for kibbutz life, with the young people growing their own food and sharing tasks in the house. Some of the children who had met at the castle would go on to form Kibbutz Lavi in the Lower Galilee, which still runs today and specialises in making synagogue furniture. In some ways it was idyllic. “I lived on the first floor of the central tower and I would look down on the meadow, at the lambs who had been born and it was beautiful,” says Bingham, who has visited the castle twice since he left, each time seeing it becoming more and more run-down. “It was the closest thing most of us had to any sort of normal youth.”There were fewer than 10,000 Kindertransport children and they were all extraordinary in their own ways. Among the group are four Nobel Prize winners, the Labour Lord Alfred Dubs, celebrated painter Frank Auerbach and the indomitable Walter Bingham, whose CV covers everything from starring as a wizard in the Harry Potter films to being inducted into the French legion of honour.

The traditional song is a staple at music festivals in Wales, including the upcoming Llangollen International Eisteddfod, at which the choir is scheduled to perform from July 2 to July 6 in celebration of its 40th anniversary.Simon Clennell, the choir’s tour organiser and a long-time member, believes the participation in the Llangollen festival – a major international music event held every summer in the Welsh town since 1947 – will be a landmark event for the group.“We wanted to do something special and different for the 40th anniversary,” he says. “We’ve never sung in Wales before.”Founded in 1978 by expatriate Welshmen following an impromptu gathering around a piano at the St David’s Society Welsh Ball, the choir is today made up of members of various nationalities and cultures. This increasingly cross-cultural personality is reflected in its musical repertoire and programme for the upcoming Llangollen festival.
