  As a first language Welsh speaker I have to really compliment the pronunciation in this video. It&apos;s clear that not only did they do their research but they cared enough to try and mostly they get it spot on, so da iawn!

  <b>Fun fact:</b> For those interested in early medieval Britain, there&apos;s a pretty good series from the 70&apos;s called &quot;Arthur of the Britons&quot;, which depicts the famous Legend of King Arthur in a very realistic way. In this show, Arthur is the humble leader of a Celtic tribe (and not a powerful king) who fights against the Saxons and Merlin is just a normal man without magical powers. I highly recommend it!

  I&apos;m from Argentina. My great-great-grandfather was a Welsh coal miner who came over to Argentina in 1886 with his family.<br>I&apos;m so happy that a well-researched channel like K&amp;G is making this (often overlooked) part of history more accessible to us. Thank you so much!<br>🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇷

  &quot;How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Who&apos;s castle is that?&quot;<br>&quot;King of the &apos;oo?&quot;<br>&quot;The Britons&quot;<br>&quot;Who are the Britons&quot;<br>&quot;Well, we all are. We are all Britons, and I am your king.&quot;<br>&quot;I didn&apos;t know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.&quot;

  The Myth of the Eireann Cu Chulainn and of his son strongly reminds me of the written stories of Rustam-i Palang and his beloved son Sohrab. Both warriors had a pledge to travel and seek glory and fight with their son in hand. Both fathers killed their fiery and ambitious son by mistaken identity in battle, lamenting the loss and being stricken with a defeating grief. The Cymru and the Manx and the Gaedhlig and the Scots gaelic speakers need to keep their history alive that vacillates their name in the world. A beautiful pneuma or spirit the Celtic cultures possess that always burns inside this Iranian&apos;s heart. Go N-eiri an Bothar Leat!, excuse without the accents included....&quot;may the road rise to you&quot; all&apos;, who love and keep this namesake in the eternal colloquy of my favourite peoples.

  As an Albanian I admire the Celtic people. They prevailed constantly against invading foes and managed to retain their culture and identity. The same happened to us with the Romans, Slavs, and Turks. Im happy that the languages are being kept alive and their stories are told. Definitely overlooked when compared to the Anglo-Saxons or the Norse.

  Thanks for doing this series, K&amp;G! The Celtic nations on the British Isles are far too often portrayed solely through the lens of English history, nearly always only appearing when they interact in some way with England (usually through armed incursions one way or the other) and are for the most part ignored at other times. While their interactions with England do play a significant role in their histories, they were still polities of their own, with their own internal histories, and having interactions with states other than England. Good to see this channel exploring them in their own right!

  I love Wales. &nbsp;Every time I visit the UK, I spend most of my time there. &nbsp;My favorite is Conwy.
