Noble friends,

Here are two very interesting video clips from BBC Wales:

A 13th century Welsh law book has gone up for auction today in London: 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18777544 . This is one only a few medieval 
books in Welsh to survive. It was this text which sparked Llwellyn's 
rebellion against the Edward I in 1282.

The oldest surviving medieval ship is undergoing restoration in Newport. 
This is a very neat little story on how to preserve a ship, as well as 
showing some interesting details: 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-17708611 . I missed this one when it 
appeared back in April, but it was thankfully appended to the first story.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
