The most violent event in Welsh history? | Merthyr Rising

The Merthyr Rising, one of the most infamous stories in Welsh History. In this video we look at the events of the rising and the story of Dic Penderyn, a hero of the working classes in Wales.

A lot of the information here is stuff I’ve retained from growing up in Wales, but to refresh myself I did some research online and used the book ‘The Merthyr Rising’ by Gwyn A. Williams. You can probably find it online but it’s worth checking in your local library first!
