The tales may have reminded the Britons of a time when they were independent kingdoms, at times unified under the aegis of a high king, especially in times of strife and against the threat of invasion. Happily, many of the sites mentioned in the text still exist and are accessible enough to be directly experienced today." - from Rhiannon: Divine Queen of the Celtic Britons by Jhenah Telyndru #ymabinogi #wales #welshculture #history
