In 1135 Kidwelly was furiously attacked by Gwenllian, wife of Griffith ap Rhys, prince of South Wales, and a battle, fought close to the town at a place still known as Maes Gwenllian, ended in the total defeat and subsequent execution of the Welsh princess.
Later, the extensive lordship of Kidwelly became the property through marriage of Henry, earl of Lancaster, and to this circumstance is due the exclusive jurisdiction of the town.
The decline of Kidwelly is due to the accumulation of sand at the mouth of the river, and to the consequent prosperity of the neighboring Llanelly.

It was the interest of Frederick at the time to preserve peace, and he accordingly sent his brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, to St. Petersburg, to endeavour to bring about an adjustment of matters.
Some overtures made to Frederick by the Prince of Kaunitz at the conference of Neustadt, and some expressions which escaped from Catherine, had induced Prince Henry to form the idea that a dismemberment of Poland might satisfy the ambitious aspirations of all the potentates, and prevent the contingency of war.
Of the territory thus seized and distributed, Austria received as her share about 1300 German square miles (15 to the degree), and a population of 700,000; Russia, 4157 square miles, and a population of 3,050,000; and Prussia, 1060 square miles, and a population of 1,150,000.

This suggests that it may originally have had a competition back axle, replaced after the Prince Henry incident with the standard one in place at the moment, but that the previous hubs were retained.
In its heyday, the road-going Prince Henry with 60bhp on tap could do 70mph, although nowadays EI 6411 is kept down to about 50mph, a speed it maintains with ease.
There's a right-hand gear lever and a leather-faced clutch, both of which demand a certain amount of care, but in general this car shows that the top designers of its era were building really purposeful high performers.
