Welsh History

Sir John Pryce of Newtown Hall died in 1761. He kept the embalmed bodies of his first two wives on either side of his bed—until his third wife insisted that they were removed. America is named after a Welshman, and the Holy Grail is kept in a bank vault in West Wales . . . This book contains hundreds of "strange but true" facts and anecdotes about Welsh history. Arranged into a miniature history of Wales, and with true tales for every era, it will fascinate readers everywhere.
