about Llywelyn and Joan
I have always thought that Llywelyn was one of the most intelligent and compassionate man in medieval history. I wondered, after reading your user page and knowing your sources, if you have an opinion on a question that I have always wondered about. Perhaps I am a hopeless romantic, but I always wanted to believe that Llywelyn forgave his wife, (if, indeed, she had the indiscretion with William de Braose and it was not just a reckless de Braose acting on his own going into her bedchamber) because he really loved her and showed a heart and compassion otherwise not know in his time. What do you think really happened? I know this would be speculation on your part, but a more educated kind of speculation (contradiction in terms, but you know what I mean) with access to the records of the great Library of Wales and a knowledge of the culture and language.

 * Thank you so much for those very interesting details! Thanks also for taking the time to write them down for me! I intend to read these books. Mugginsx (talk) 09:10, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks yet again. I will check out those books as well.  Yes, I can't really explain it but I have always had a special interest in Wales.  The bravery of the people, the beauty of the country, and how they outsmarted English Kings and English barons so man times just, it seems, by their sheer cleverness and tenacity.
