    Queen Isabella

    Very few people would agree Cumbric survived past the 1200s and even if it did the chances of Robert the Bruce having bothered to learn a language spoken by what, a few old people is very, very slim. There is also no evidence he did.

    Glyndwr is said to have hidden in a cave in the woods 100m from where I'm sitting right now. But there are stories like that all over Gwynedd.
