Why is owain glyndwr a seen as a rebel by the English?
Owain Glyndwr was seen as a rebel mainly because he rebelled against the English rule of wales. After a dispute over the boundried of his land in gwynedd (north eastern wales) with one of his neighbours he took it to one of the courts in the area but as his neighbour was pro English whereas despite havign served in the English army in it's wars against the french king he was more neutral, either that or the neighbour bribed the court it's hard to tell with these things. Owain killed his neighbour and after that many of the disgruntled nobles within wales rallied behind him and declared him the prince of wales, driving out the English garrisons and caputuring many of the castles built by Ed 1 he moved into shrewesbury to attack England itself. The barons of England had moved against the king and had drawn up treaties offering land to Owain but for some reason he turned his army back probably thinkign it best to hold onto what he had than risk it all. After one of the longest rebellions in history lasting well over 15 years he slowly faded away never having been caught. Despite Henry V offering him numerous pardons he never gave up the fight. Shortly after this Henry Tudor took the throne of England and this was viewed as a welsh noble on the English throne, after that they never felt the need to rebel again.

What was the main diseases in Merthyr Tydfil in the 1840s?
The supply of fresh water was extremely poor in Merthyr Tydfil. Although the River Taff ran through the town, the ironmasters diverted the water to supply their steam-engines and cooling plant. The Taff became an open sewer and the contaminated water supply resulted in several outbreaks of cholera and typhoid. By 1848 Merthyr Tydfil's mortality rate was the highest in Wales and the third highest in Great Britain. Sadly, the young children were particularly vulnerable to disease caused by unhealthy living conditions. In the first half of the 19th century, over 60% of all burials in Merthyr Tydfil were of children under the age of five. Despite this high mortality rate, the population reached 40,000 in 1845.
What typle people live in the lake district?
Nice ones. Ethically, boy, what a mixture. The Lake District is part of the Celtic Fringe, so there are Celts; all sorts of celts. The original population was similar to the Lowland Scots, but this is overlaid by Norse invasions; when I was a boy, shepherds used to count their sheep in Old Norse - Yan, tan, tethera, methera.... In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, mining was big in the Lake District, more espeially in West Cumberland, and miner migrated from other parts of the Celtic Fringe: Welshmen to the coal mines of Workington and Whitehaven, Cornishmen (like my Great-Grandfather) to the lead mines of the high fells. Near the West coast there is a village called Torpenhow (pronounced Trapenna, of course), and behind the village is Torpenhow Hill. This must be the most repetitive place name in the world, since Tor is Cornish for Hill, Pen is Welsh for Hill, How is Old Norse for Hill, and Hill.... Surnames in the Lake District are commonly on the Lowland Scots pattern, ending in -son: Patterson, Pattinson, Harrison, Wilson. West Cumbria has a lot of Grahams. The dialect of the Lake District is unique; all vowel sounds are different from Standard English. 'Everybody knows', for example, comes out as 'Ivribuddy knaas'. It's the mixture of Norse and Celtic that does this. Finally, there are the off-comers; middle-class holiday-home owners and retirees from all over England. But they don't count.

When was the Celtic festival of Samhain held?
One of the four major Celtic festivals,Samhain was celebrated on 1 November and the night that preceded it,making it in terms of time the equivalent of the modern Halloween.A pastoral festival,Samhain marked the passing of one pastoral year and the beginning of another year.At the time of Samhain,the livestock were brought in from the fields,some to be slaughtered for food and others to be kept for breeding purposes during the festival.Samhain was also the time when the usual barriers between the mortal world and the otherworld were suspended.At Samhain there were great gatherings,fairs and markets and horse-races.It was thought that spirits from the otherworld could freely visit the mortal world and that mortals could see and penetrate the otherworld.This connection between witches and other supernatural forces remain still today at the same date.Ritual fires were lit but only after all the fires were extinguished and relit from a ceremonial fire lit by the Druids.Samhain was a time of great significance to the Celts,and their legends reflect the strange and important things that happened on the festival.For example,it was the time that the people of Nemedh had to pay their annual tribute to the Fomoril,a tribute that was extremely crippling,consisting as it did of two-thirds of their corn,wine,milk and some say even their children.It was also the date of the second battle of Magh Tuiredh,and on the night before Samhain the Daghda mated with Morrigan as she straddled the River Unius.Samhain was the time of year when Ailen annually burned down Tara,after lulling the guards to sleep with enchanted music,untill he was killed by Fionn Cumhaill.

When and under which famous monarch were England and Wales officially joined?
The Union of England and Wales occurred during the reign of Henry VIII. Wales had been governed by English kings since the days of Edward I, but Wales was run separately from England, and Ireland was too was run by English kings but as a separate country. Each part of Wales was run by a separate lord and these lords were always quarrelling with one another and some even rebelled against the king. Henry did not like this and decided to join the two states together so that he could govern more effectively. He did not make a Union of the 2 states but instead rolled Wales up into England. The Law in Wales Act 1535 said that Wales was and had always been part of England and now it was time for it to be governed the same way as the rest of England and so Wales was divided into counties, like England, and sent members to Parliament, like England, and Welsh Law was abolished and English law put in its place. The man who arranged all this for the king was Thomas Cromwell. His great grandnephew, Oliver Cromwell, later rebelled against another king, Charles I.
