What was Henry viii relationship with WALES?
Henry VIII was the son of Henry Tudor (Henry VII) who was of Welsh royal stock and took the English throne after the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, which overthrew Richard III, brought an end to the Plantagenent dynasty and placed a Welshman on the throne of England for the first time in history.
Henry married Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and they had 7 children, of which Henry VIII was the third. Henry VIII was thus half-Welsh.
He was a fluent Welsh speaker, but was responsible for the Act of Union in 1536 which effectively abolished Wales as a seperate nation and made it a part of England, a situation which existed legally until Edwardian times.
He did this for two reasons- the first was that at the time, Wales was predominantly Catholic, and many senior Welsh clerics disapproved of the establishment of the Church of England. The second was that by the time of Henry's reign, many Welsh people (including aristocracy, landed gentry and influential pubic figures) were beginning to feel that the Tudors had 'sold out' to England too much and were no longer adequately representing Welsh interests. Henry thus wished to forestall another Welsh rebellion, which by the early / mid 16th Century could have been far more devastating for England due to advances in military technology since the time of Owain Glyndwr.

How can you explain that Cardiff's area code is 029 and not 02920?
Simplest is to explain how area codes and local dialling work:
- In the United Kingdom, landline phones have local numbers which can be used to dial within the area. These are normally 6 to 8 digits long, although they can sometimes be even shorter.
- Area codes form part of the full national number needed when dialling from outside the area or from a mobile phone. It is the part of the number that you do not need to dial when calling locally.
Within the Cardiff (029) area, all local calls are dialable using a full eight digit number, such as 20878889. The part which is optional is the 029, which proves that 029 is the code.
If the code was 02920, then local calls would be diallable using just the last 6 digits (such as 878889) - but this is not possible, therefore the code cannot be 02920 as the '20' is not optional. Furthermore, there are now also numbers in the range (029) 21xx xxxx.
As Cardiff had six-digit local numbers before the year 2000, and as most numbers started with '20' at first, writing '02920' is a common mistake and can cause confusion. It is helpful to write Cardiff numbers in the correct (029) xxxx xxxx format, as this makes clear what the area code is and assists people trying to dial locally.
