I'm sure that you would't read all information in this site, that's why i've chosen the most interesting facts.
1.The earliest evidence of human beings in Wales dates from about 225,000 BC, the date given to human teeth found in Pontnewydd Cave in the Elwy Valley in Denbighshire.
2.Roman forces reached the borders of Wales in AD 48, five years after they had begun their conquest of Britain. This sugests that Welsh People were very brawe.
3.After the end or Roman invasion in the world's map appeared Wales, which is still famous by it's ancient roots
4.Between AD 650 and 750, Britain's lowland zone became firmly English. Even in southern Scotland, most of the Brythonic or Welsh kingdoms came under English or Anglian control. Yet before that happened, those kingdoms produced the first surviving body of literature in the Welsh language, in particular the Gododdin of Aneirin.
5.In the 500 years after the fall of the Roman Empire, the Christianity of Wales had its own marked characteristics. It shared them with the other Celtic-speaking countries, thus giving rise to the rather misleading notion that there was such a thing as the Celtic Church.
6.Era of Welsh independence finished in 1277, when Welsh people loose very important and horrible war.
7.After The War of Roses the Tudor's became rulers there and in a fw years Wales united with England.
History of Wales is not end with this event but from this time it's became a history of United Kingdom.
I'm very sorry if my short article bored you, but a got a real pleasure doing this work and as for me it was really unteresting.
