Description

Sir John Pryce of Newtown Hall's unusual burial practice has become a lasting part of Welsh history. His embalmed first two wives were kept on either side of his bed until his third wife insisted on their removal. Another intriguing tale from Welsh history is that of Ronald Rhys from the Vale of Neath, who disappeared for a week after witnessing a strange light and hearing a loud noise. He later recalled being examined by small creatures who took a sample of his blood. These strange but true facts and anecdotes about Welsh history are woven together to create a unique and fascinating narrative. From the country's rich past to its more bizarre and humorous tales, this book offers a captivating look at the complexities of Welsh heritage. With hundreds of 'strange but true' facts and anecdotes, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the unusual and lesser-known aspects of Welsh history.
