The ASSYRIAN ROD.

Adam of Usk in the 15th Century writing of Owain Glyndwr's assault on the English of Gwent, likens Glyndwr to ''a second Assyrian, the rod of God's anger, he did deeds of unheard-of cruelty with fire and sword''. This inspires me to write a fictional futuristic alternate Welsh history story, titled 'The Assyrian Rod' which will be developed in this blog,also given same title. This blog will also promote the writing of alternate Welsh Histories:past, present and future.

THE FINAL STAGES OF ACHIEVING WELSH INDEPENDENCE AND ESTABLISHMENT OF THE WELSH REPUBLIC - THE BATTLE OF VYRNWY 24 MEDI 1946...


...a bitter struggle as the Anglo - Cambro Loyalists dug in to well established positions around Lake Vyrnwy without hope of relief from Liverpool or else where across the border as England fell into post WWII chaos of revolutionary urban uprisings and regional civil wars. An Irish Invasion attempting to liberate occupied 'Northern Ireland' and  aiding Independence struggle in Scotland, decided the central London Government support it's loyalist allies in these regions as well as attempting to quell civil disturbances in their mainland areas. London central Government believed Wales was lost and well out of their control or any possibility of immediate relief and thus advised Loyalists to retreat east but they were not about to do so without a fight to a bitter end, partly because the Fflintshire Hywel Gwynedd Brigade had blocked way East whilst from the South 'Red Partisan Brigades were making way North to participate in the driving out of Wales the last major Loyalist threat.

NB: Over the central Mountain in background of photo on left is town of Bala and Tryweryn, you will also find Bwlch y Groes up there, from where you can drive down South into Dinas Mawddwy or down towards Vyrnwy.

Somebody suggested that an image of Owain Glyndwr would be a suitable icon for a Republican Stamp, why not after all his revolt helped liberate the Serf and Bond Population and they are the ancestors of the People of the Pitchfork. After all if Spartacus and Zapata both of 'noble' background may be admired by the left why not Glyndwr by the Welsh Left and Republicans. However. There are a few others of Welsh of Republican qualification more deserving to be on such a stamp rather than that of native Welsh Royalty. Such deserving of a stamp would be Richard Price, Iolo Morgannwg, Morgan John Rhys, William Jones, Henry Davies, John Frost et al, even and why not Cliff Bere and by way Welsh Republican Colours are not Yellow and Red but are of a Tri - Colour Green, Red and White. Not of my inspiration but a product of WRM I, myself now favours a proposed Welsh Socialist Republican Flag:


http://partisan2011.blogspot.co.uk/2011_08_01_archive.html

As for some Socialist Stamps, why not of Lewis Lewis, Dic Penderyn and Edward Morgan also Dai Cantwr, Sioni Sgubor and Frances Evans. Whilst, I am sure Balchder Cymru would like to see FWA Cayo and Coslett on Stamps. Myself also favour the Abergele Martyrs, Owain Williams and John Jenkins of MAC. Never likely to be, so why not produce our alternative stamps as the Patagonian one Nationalists produced in the 'Sixties' and Gwasg Lolfa did for Owain Glyndwr.

There has been note two stamps produced for Owain Glyndwr to date, a third would be sound but it would be more representative of a Nationalist Cenedl Glyndwr - Cenedl Cymru Rydd not any Welsh Republic me thinks!
