Traditionally at the Battle of Heathfield [633] a Welsh army picked leeks from a field and wore them as a badge to distinguish themselves from their Saxon adversaries.

The ordinary word for Leek and the ordinary word for Daffodil are the same in Welsh. So perhaps it was Daffodils - which look prettier.

The term Welsh descent refers to having ancestors who were Welsh.

They call themselves Welsh in English and Cymry in Welsh. Another term might be Cambrians.

Clothes, just like they do in England, USA, Australia and elsewhere. Ppeople in Wales are just ordinary people, they do not wander around wearing a so-called national costume (which was a Victorian tourist invention anyway).

There are many river in Wales and it might be a matter of opinion which were the 'main' ones. However two rivers which begin in Wales and flow into England are, or were, of major importance. These are the River Severn in Mid/South Wales and the River Dee in North Wales. For more information about Welsh rivers see the related link below.

there are a few ,

one being 'dydd gwyl dewi' ... basicly the welsh equivelent of st.Patrick's day etc.

on this day , it's traditional for children to wear in the traditional welsh outfits of ladies and gentlemen (search for pictures on Google) , and then almost everyone wears a leek(for the men) or daffodils(women).

on this day quite a few harp contests are organized , people get together just to celebrate their welshness through eating welsh things (such as welsh cakes or things with leek in) , sing all the traditional welsh songs such as the national anthem and calon lan etc etc.

another is calan mai , wich basicly means the beginning of summer (in the same way calan gaeaf means the beginning of November , althoguh gaeaf means winter). It's a lovley celebration however not celebrated by everyone , people decorate their houses with flowers. Another thing that's done to celebrate calan mai is they a birch pole was decorated by ribbons (quite an art - the decorating is done by dancing and each person holding a diffrent ribbon , when the dance is done the pole is decorated with a colorful pattern) - this is called 'codi'r fedwen' in the south , and called 'y gangen haf' in the north. This dance tends to bring girls and boys together and spark romance. It's all veyr pretty and lovley.

England has never 'taken over' Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Various English kings have sought to rule the whole island of Great Britain and some also decided to take over Ireland as well. They did this because; # They were annoyed about the Welsh and Scots invading parts of England and wanted to stop them doing it again, # They were worried other European countries - like France or Spain or Norway - would use Ireland or Wales or Scotland as a base from which to attack England, # They would get more money and more prestige as kings if they increased the size of their kingdom, # They believed sovereignty was bestowed by God on a monarch and this was confirmed by the Pope in Rome (who often gave them a crown to wear to prove it). The English kings argued that Ireland, Scotland and Wales were not sovereign realms as they had not received this confirmation and therefore it was the duty of the English king to impose some order on the situation and annex Wales, Scotland and Ireland, or at least force any local rulers to acknowledge the English monarch as their overlord. At various times the English monarchy forced the rulers of Wales, Scotland and Ireland to sign treaties which said they and their successors acknowledged the English monarch as their sovereign overlord. This meant that if they upset the English monarch they could be legally deposed and replaced by someone else.

Welsh people are from Wales, which is a part of the United Kingdom (which consists of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales).

Welsh is supposed to be the native language, but it is largely not spoken by Welsh people in the southern areas, whereas Welsh speaking as a first language is much more widespread in the northern area of the country.

Wales has it's own Assembly Government, but it doesn't completely govern itself as much of legal powers still remain with the UK Government in London, but the Welsh Assembly Government is allowed to do quite a lot of things for the country themselves without having to ask London; there was recently a yes vote for more powers to the Assembly Government in 2011.
