Yesterday’s News Today

On this day in 1982 in a peace protest at Greenham Common, UK, 30 000 women joined hands around the perimeter of the American air base; it didn’t really make much difference.
Before the news, though: Jon told me that I should probably explain, for people who might not be up on their British history, who Llywelyn ap Gruffydd was. Llywelyn the Last, as he is also known, was the last Welsh prince to survive the incursion of the English king Edward into Wales. After his death his head was paraded through London wearing a crown made of ivy in what the English thought was a hilarious critique of Merlin's prophecy that a Welshman would one day be crowned king of England. Thinking that they had averted this possibility with their childish display they would have probably been kicking themselves if they had known that this prophecy would come true at the end of the Wars of the Roses when Welshman Henry Tudor became king Henry VII. So now you know.
