Clifford, the other side of the modern English border, is another lordship again, so quite easy to escape justice.
There's an example in the 14th century of whole communities attacking the neighbouring lordship.
I can't remember the exact date in the 14th century where the lordship of Hay decided to go en masse and attack the lordship of Clifford, which is just over the modern Wales-English border.
They burned 200 houses.
I don't know what the people of Clifford had done to the people of Hay, but obviously something had happened and they decided to exact their revenge on the people of Clifford.
I mean, there was a clear sense of Welshness.
It's not that the Welsh thought they were... Although they often fought against one another as well.
I mean, there was...
a practice of unity as well.
So at a certain point, certain Welsh kings did manage to unite most of Wales under them.
I mentioned Gruffydd ap Llywelyn.
There were others before then as well.
And I suppose if you go to the 12th century, 13th century, there was an emerging sense of Welsh political unity, but it was cut short by Edward I. And so Wales was following, in some ways in parallel with Scotland at a later date, but too late to face Edward I.
