I warned you. You were warned. "Oh, we'd love a video or three on the toponymy and administration of medieval Wales" you said. Well now it's all started, hasn't it? You've got me on Welsh land division in the medieval period and its administration by the kingdoms and petty kingdoms of the time. So prepare to hear me waffle on about cantrefi, cymydau, maerdrefi, llysoedd and all manner of other wonderful words from my culture's history all the way up to the Acts of Union and Henry VIII as we have a brief introductory look at how the medieval Welsh kingdoms divided their territory.

It's actually really interesting, I promise!
