Trickery..Ed the first is my favorite king

The story says that the Welsh nobles put three conditons to the invader English king before he could designate the first Prince of Wales, in 1284: 1: the infant must be born in Wales. 2: the infant must be of royal blood. 3: the infant must not speak a single word of English. The English king simply presented his newborn son, who had been born in Wales only a few days before, who was of Royal blood, and, obviously, who spoke no word at all yet, neither in English or any other language.

@@saundracarter-hebert the title Princess of Wales is only given to the wife of the Prince of Wales. Since 1631, the eldest daughter of the monarch can be given the title Princess Royal, however the title was never available for Queen Elizabeth II during the reign of her father King George VI as her aunt Princess Mary already had the title (When the monarch’s eldest daughter receives the title Princess Royal she keeps it for life unless she becomes queen). When Mary died in 1965, Elizabeth was already queen thus she couldn’t inherit the title.

@@sion8 one reason is because people say "British accent" more commonly than "English accent", and a British accent is way different than a Scottish or Irish accent

@@samuelgunter You just did what I said isn't correct. A British accent covers all those accents in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, all British! An English accent are only those from England, a Welsh only those in Wales, a Scottish accent all those from Scotland, and Northern-Irish accent only those from Northern Ireland. Equating British as English is as wrong as equating U.S. accents as only those from California!

@@sion8 read my comment again, carefully

@@samuelgunter I did.

In fact, the male heir (things have now changed with the changes in the rules of the order of succession in order to remove primogeniture) was created Duke of Cornwall at birth, and only later Prince of Wales at the discretion of the sovereign.

I was under the impression that in pre-Saxon times some folk would count Cornwall as part of Wales. I'm not sure exactly where that border was. The Tamar? And if you want a strange Royal Duke, consider the Duke of Lancaster. The Duchy of Lancaster certainly exists: it can have a Chancellor (who, if appointed, sits in The Cabinet). Yet the Duke of Lancaster is strangely absent. Of all the Royal Dukes, the Duke of Lancaster never appears to pay homage to the crown and never takes a seat in the House of Lords. Well that's not quite true. Many years ago the Duke of Lancaster took a seat in the House of Lords and still has it. It's that fancy one at the front. Once the Duke of Lancaster defeated the Duke of York, the Duke of Lancaster became King. The Monarch grants all the other titles, and holds all titles not currently granted to anyone else, but does not have the string of lower titles most other peers have. The Monarch acts as Duke of Lancaster, has all the benefits of being Duke of Lancaster (and a very rich Dukedom it is too) and will never ever grant the title Duke of Lancaster to anyone else, but it would make no heraldic sense at all to say the King is Duke of Lancaster. Which, in some ways, is a shame.

Actually pronunciation can vary wildly within a language. You are correct that the locals pronounce it that way... which is arguably the correct way.

Not to forget that words and pronunciation can also change with time.

Then they both moved to England and he taught in schools there).

Thank you I was just about the comment the same thing, he also brushed over the fact Llywelyn the Great fought the English and won most of the battles, and that Treaty of Worcester was the only way that Henry III could save face

Oldest by 10 years? That's an odd statement to make really. If we're talking about the 4 parts of the UK, and when they as that particular entity was a fully independent sovereign country: England, 927 to 1707 Scotland, 843 to 1707 Wales 1216 to 1546 Northern Ireland has never been independent. It was created in 1921, and didn't exist before Cornwall, 722 to 838 A few notes though. When the Norman invasion was over, the Normans didn't control all of what's now England. The Lake District wasn't in England yet for a start. Edinburgh wasn't even in Scotland when Scotland was formed. It was in a neighbouring country of Lothian that was later absorbed. Some of the dates are kinda arbitrary. Like there was an England arguably once Wessex had conquered Essex, Kent, Sussex, Middlesex and East Anglia. That was the first kingdom of the angles here. Conquering mercia (the Midlands) and Northumbria (the north of England), was a fair bit later. Similar with Wales, there was a Wales sure, but it only covered Gwynedd to start and then later on more of north and central Wales. I'm not sure if that ever covered as much as modern Wales.

@@aodhanmonaghan4664 How was Wales was independent and Sovereign between 1216 and 1546? They were subsumed into the English Crown in 1283 by Edward Longshanks. If we want to talk about Wales being independent and sovereign, I'd say we have to go back to Owain Fawr, Llewlyn's grandfather, who ruled Wales from like 1137 and 1170. His men nearly killed Henry II of England during an invasion one time, and Henry never seriously tried to conquer Wales after that.

@@SRosenberg203 a merger of crowns also happened with Scotland too. Whilst the king of England controlled the new territory it was still legally separate. It's the same reason we don't say that the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg was part of the Kingdom of Great Britain despite the fact they shared a monarch, and i suppose the nearest equivalent today could be how Australia is sovereign adjective yet shares a sovereign noun with the UK
