Dyfed - An Irish Kingdom In Wales (Welsh History)

The history of Wales is filled with many kings and kingdoms, but the kingdom of Dyfed, formed from lands in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, had a very unique trait. This Welsh kingdom possessed an Irish dynasty, an attribute only found twice throughout Welsh history.
In this video I will be examining the history of this Irish kingdom in Wales in-depth, from the Celtic tribes that inhabited Wales to the Roman invasion, from the colonisation of this Irish dynasty to the incursions of the Vikings and the Anglo-Saxons, and we will see how such a unique piece of Welsh history came about, and how the history of Wales was forever changed by its actions.
