Rebecca wasn’t just angry—she was right. In 1840s Wales, tollgates bled poor farmers dry.
So “Rebecca and her daughters” rose up. They wore dresses. They smashed gates. They demanded justice and they won reforms.
A riot? Yes.
A turning point? Absolutely.#RebeccaRiots #WelshHistory #CymruAmByth #Cymru #Wales #WestWales

"Early poems about #Merlin portray him as #environmentalist, say scholars
Re-examination of #Welsh poems dating back to 10th century show #Myrddin as prophet concerned by human interactions with #Nature
by Steven Morris
Tue 25 Feb 2025 07.13 EST"He is probably most often thought of today as a wizard, a shape-shifter or a mentor to the young King Arthur.
"But a detailed re-examination of Myrddin – Merlin – by Welsh scholars suggests he can also be considered an early British environmentalist deeply worried about human interaction with the natural world.
"Over the past three years academics from three Welsh universities have edited and translated more than 100 poems, all in Cymraeg (Welsh), about Merlin dating back as far as the 10th century.
"David Callander, who is based at Cardiff University’s school of Welsh, said some of the conclusions of the Myrddin Poetry Project challenged the modern view of the figure."

Annual pilgrimage to St David’s / Tyddewi. Despite the masses of people making it fairly chaotic, the visit to cathedral and the bishops palace is definitely well worth the trip. #Wales #Cymru #WestWales #WelshHistory #WelshCulture #Pembrokeshire #Sunset #Wednesday

As #TombTuesday is a thing here's Pentre Ifan burial chamber in West Wales on a sunny day, not too far from where we used to live in Ceredigion.
A few years ago now ...as an illustration of my mindset at the time this file was saved as "See how it frames the mountain how arty.jpg"
Oh dear... 🤷🙂

#ConstituencyTuesday is Glamorgan! In the 1600s, Glamorgan had a role in domestic trading; from coal to wool 🐑 and from iron to butter 🧈, Glamorgan's produce was traded across the west of England. Read about the constituency in the early c.17th: http://ow.ly/qJGR50LiVu
During the 17th century, Glamorgan faced electoral change. Find out about how the New Model army's political presence in south-east Wales affected Glamorgan👇http://ow.ly/y9Ic50LmAfw #WelshHistory #LocalHistory @histodons
