We're back again with another guest plucked from the bosom of Wales herself.

Another Thursday, another chance to mine you all again for downloads by recycling old content. If you haven't heard this one, we talk about our boy Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, his last battle and how a while back Jack shamed his ancestors by sucking hard at archery.

While we enjoy every subject we cover on this podcast, sometimes we find a subject so definitively "us" that we get very giddy about getting to share it with you.

Time for another throwback, this time to the closing chapter we did on big boy pirate Barti Ddu who showed you can be a badass pirate and a big old boffin at the same time when he made up a bunch of laws for the salty sea dogs of the time to follow. Like what you hear? Give the full episode a listen here.

Another Sunday, another boozy jaunt into Wales' multifaceted history. This week we take a look at a bunch of crimson crooks, a group of ruby robbers, a collection of cherry coloured chancers.
