Cardiff's Forgotten Past

About

Never a base for Royals and power like London or Edinburgh, Cardiff was like a Tudor version of the Barbary coast, where pirates, merchants, nobles, and martyrs walked, lived, thrived and died within the confines of a tiny walled town whose population hardly changed for 600 years. Alas not much remains of that life, swept away by the age of coal and industry. Yet there are facts about their long forgotten history, and its citizens, that will amaze you.
