CUNEDDA, Y CYMRY and the FOUNDATION OF CYMRU - A CALL TO MEMORIALISE, COMMEMORATE AND CELEBRATE.


The August 2012 issue of the BBC History Magazine includes a feature which asks the question: Why do many historians omit the kingdom of Rheged and it's ruler Urien the Great when writing about the Anglo - Saxon settlement of Britain? I am not going to tell you why, go read it up for yourselves. It does prompt me to ask a similar question as to why we in Wales/Cymru do not make as much of Cunedda and the founding of Cymru as the Hungarians do of Adpar or the French of Charlemagne. There is a constant calling for more memorials to Llywelyn and Glyndwr but what of other great Welsh Kings and Princes as Gruffydd ap Llywelyn and not least Cunedda and sons, why not? We need similar on a grand scale for Cunedda and his sons as much as the Magyar Lord ADPAR and the Chiefs. Why not a grand and great in size statue of  CUNEDDA in Gwynedd possibly Caernarfon and, then each of his Sons memorialized in Counties of Wales named after them. Perhaps also in area of Allt Cunedda near Cydweli too, this then unifies concept of HEN TIROEDD CUNEDDA.

Some years back I and Sian visited Allt Cunedda (I have a post on
 this and photos somewhere) and it is pitiful. Here is the Story
 Archeolgists dug about there and took the Skeleton remains
 away, never returned and are now said to be 'LOST' the local 
farmers wife knew all about this and would like to see them
 brought back. We need to look into this again, then during WWI 
they built an Anti - Air Craft Gunnery Station Site close by 
(Remains Still there), Guess what they used the remains of 
ALLT CUNEDDA as it's foundations.   GET THIS: All that remains 
of ALLT CUNEDDA is a stone about size of 'STONE OF SCONE' 
or a step you would clean your boots on. Now this is a
 Metophor for the contracting 'Fro Cymraeg'.

ALL THIS IS VERY POTENT SYMBOLISM IF HANDLED CORRECTLY 
IN A WELL THOUGHT OUT AND PLANNED WAY BY SERIOUS 
PEOPLE NOT FLY BY NIGHT PATRIOTS OR 'IDJEETS' WHO 
WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THEMSELVES ON fb. YES A 
PETITION IS NEEDED BUT MUCH BACK UP WORK NEEDS T
O BE DONE AS AN ARTICLE FOR A MAGAZINE AND LETTERS 
TO PRESS AND SOME ONE SOUND TO TALK ABOUT IT NOT LEAST 
TO THE MEDIA AND RE SUCH MAKE SURE THIS PROJECT AS A 
WIDE BERTH FROM THE PATRIOTIC FRINGE - THIS NEEDS TO
 BE A GREAT WELSH PROJECT TO TRUELLY TELL THE WELSH 
THEY ARE OF THE CYMRY OF CUNEDDA. To this end a 
Cymdeithas Cunedda be needed, maybe one could be 
established at the Eisteddfod and take it from there fast 
with in mind the New Heritage Local History Fund now available:

All Our Stories: Heritage Lottery Fund launches new funding programme. 04/04/
2012. Have you ever wondered what your local area was like in the past?

    COMMEMORATIONS AS CAMPAIGNS

    1st June:  Cymru'n Codi 2012 Campaign blog

    UBC PROTEST PROGRAMME

    2nd June:  Promoting Knowledge of the
     Whiped Out Welsh Native Aristocracy.

    Potential Patriotic ‘History Enthuiast’ events to 
    promote knowledge of the native Welsh Royal
     Families and their History. Chief National event 
    suggested at 1. Deganwy Castle also at 2. 
    Strata Florida promoting information on 
    Llywelyn Fawr and Council of Strata Florida 
    1238  also at 3. Aberdyfi promoting information
     on a Council of Princes held there in 1216 
    (800th Anniversary 2016 see UBC blog for further
     details in due course). To conclude at 4. Llangwig 
    where Llywelyn Fawr made the Normans of
    Gwyr recognise him, then also 5. Dolwyddelan 
    Castle where Llywelyn Fawr was born and 
    at 6. Aberffraw his Royal Court may also be 
    considered. I am focusing on the above as I 
    consider we have done enough on Llywelyn III 
    but so little on Llywelyn II.  Otherwise also at 
    7. Dinefwr, 8. Mathrafel/Meifod and 9. Dinas 
    Powys Royal Courts of Cymru. 
    see in this blog for further details.
