	Little England beyond Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Little England beyond Wales is southern Pembrokeshire in Wales.
		Despite its distance from England, it is one of the most anglicised areas of the principality.
		This separation was reinforced after the Norman Conquest of England, when the area was also settled by Normans, who built a string of castles known as the Landsker Line to defend the region from the Welsh princes.

		CHAPTER I--WALES Wales is a row of hills, rising between the Irish Sea on the west and the English plains on the east.
		Wales was sometimes united, under a Maelgwn or a Rhodri, and the princes obeyed them; oftener, perhaps, the princes of the various parts ruled in their own way.
		North Wales archers, wearing the three feathers of the Prince of Wales, fought for Lancaster in the snow at the great defeat of Towton on the Palm Sunday of 1461; the archers of Gwent, led by Herbert, fought vainly for York at the battle of Edgecote, in the summer of 1469.

	Medieval Historiography: Dark Rooms and Dry Straw
		Beyond this common thread, the Anglo-British histories, although several also embody the subtheme of the repression of various heresies, are all quite different in character.
		Beyond his personal indignation at state of British (as opposed to English) historiography and his painful sense of inadequacy, Nennius had no further overt agenda or distinctive literary tone.
		Gregory displayed little tolerance of heretics, and he frequently quizzed the various envoys of the Frankish kings as to the nature of their faith.

		Wales is the "Little Gem" of the British Isles.
		In the south, there is Dylan Thomas country, and the little England beyond Wales: Pembrokeshire, with its glorious coastline, and has as its focal point, the venerable small city of St David's.

		As the son of a crowned king and queen of England he was regarded by the English as naturally qualified to become their king; he was an English ætheling, and is spoken of as clito, which was used as an equivalent title (ib.
		In his progresses the arrangements of his court were orderly, for he was a man of method; there were no sudden changes of plan, and people brought their goods to the places on his route, certain that the court would arrive and stay as had been announced, and that they would find a market.
		The marriage was unpopular in England, Normandy, and Maine; the English were not pleased at the heiress to the crown marrying out of the country, while the people of both Normandy and Maine had a long-standing hatred for the Angevin house.

		The name likely arose independently in different areas of England and Wales, so various families of the same name may not be related.
		Among the earliest known Nash families were those in North Wales who went to Ireland in 1172 with the conqueror of Ireland, Richard de Clare, known as "Strongbow" (Davies 126).
		Among their relatives of English origin who had moved to Wales, the line of EVA SCOURFIELD (ELIZABETH NASH’S great-grandmother) was notable for its falsely claimed Norman ancestors relating the family to all the crowned heads of Europe, including Charlemagne (Derek Williams 17-24).

	GENUKI: The History of Little England beyond Wales - extract
		West Wales was invaded by a small force serving the French Republic in the year 1797.
		This good man was taking his walks abroad on Wednesday the 22nd February, about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and as was his wont, had one eye on the sea, the other on his crops, when he caught sight of a lugger and three men-of-war passing the North Bishops.
		Every beast of burden and every vehicle in the little village was brought into requisition; messengers were packed off in all directions with orders to raise the country as they went; the possessors of carts and wheelbarrows crammed them with their worldly goods, while the less fortunate carried off their gear pickaback.

	Geoffrey of Monmouth and the History of the Kings of Britain
		Geoffrey was apparently a canon at the secular college of St. George's until the institution's demise in 1149.
		Beyond these facts, little is known about him, save what can be gleaned from his History.
		Most historians confess that there is very little (if any) firm evidence to support the belief that a book like this ever existed, but many of them are loath to give up the quest.

	Euromosaic - Welsh (United Kingdom)
		The numbers of Welsh speakers who live outside Wales is not known, although it is estimated that there are between 150,000 (extrapolated from Census data) and 450,000 (from a media survey) Welsh speakers in England.
		The districts with the smallest proportions of Welsh speakers are the main urban districts of south and north-east Wales, rural districts on the border with England, South Pembrokeshire (known as the little England beyond Wales') and the Vale of Glamorgan.
		The Act of Annexation in 1536, which attempted to integrate Wales and its language with the English state, meant that the reproduction of the language was restricted to the family, community, and religion.

		Portugal was also a target as it was effectively taken over by Spain, and the English had the additional hope that an invasion could return the exiled claimant to the throne in place of the ruler installed by King Philip of Spain.
		The long slow foot march south gave Lisbon plenty of time to prepare for attack, the foot soldiers were ill supplied and suffered disease, and the Portuguese did not arise in favor of Don Antonio's claim to the throne.
		In a small way he was on the edges of the world of sea exploration and colonization that was the first step in creating our own modern view of the earth as a single living space.

	American Renaissance News: Why Anglos Lead
		But beyond this, the Anglo nations also possess, to an unusual degree, the resources needed for war—wealth, a capacity to project force, confidence in war and the deference of other countries.
		They are pushing beyond this in the economic sphere, but do not seek to impose Chinese culture along with this expansion (China will not establish a public commercial presence in New York equivalent to McDonalds in Shanghai).
		Until the US Marines wiped out their nest of piracy just a little over 200 years ago, Turkish imperial duchies on the north African coast were sending pirate and slaving ships to prey on Irish, English, Welsh, and Scottish shores.

		The Percy family, long restive under the rule of the usurper Henry Bolingbroke, would gain increased power and autonomy in their lands in northern England, and a free hand to pursue their private wars against the Scots.
		These were descendants of European refugees who had been settled in southwest Wales as a garrison population by the Normans.
		Disinclined to speak Welsh or be ruled by a Welsh prince, their descendants live to this day in what is still known as “Little England beyond Wales” in Pembrokeshire.

	Two Welsh Legends about Fairyland
		The people of Pembrokeshire were for a long time puzzled to know where the fairies, or the Children of Rhys the Deep, as they are called in Little England beyond Wales, lived.
		He continued to be a great friend of Rhys the Deep's children as long as he lived, and the gold they presented him with made him the richest man in West Wales.
		The tiny little man was satisfied by the farmer's apology, and he said, "You had better wall up the door on this side of your house and make another in the other side.

	Notes
		-From "The Yales and Wales" by Rodney Horace Yale, 1908.
		That same year he was granted a license to sell liquor in New England and on 1 October he established what has since been recognized as having been one of the first taverns and inns to be operated in New England.
		Beyond that, official approval and permission to operate a tavern that served liquor was usually granted only to the most respectable persons, and such approval was seldom given to anyone known to drink to intoxication.
