[MR] BBC: Welsh Royal Site Bought for Preservation

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

Today the BBC has a brief feature on a royal Welsh administrative site
which as been bought for preservation by Cadw (the Welsh historic trust).

*Llys Rhosyr* was used by Llwelyn Fawr (aka Prince Llewelyn "The Great")
who ruled Gwynedd in the 13th century. The site was abandoned after conquer
monkey Edward I (Boo! Hiss!) completed his take over of Wales in 1282.

A conjectural replica of *Llys Rhosyr *has been built at St. Fagans, a
Welsh living history park. What Cadw bought for £17,000 is the real deal,
though it is mostly just the foundations.

The BBC story, including of how the site might have looked, is found at

More about Llewelyn is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llywelyn_the_Great .

Yours Aye,


Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge  🦆
