Foreword “As we celebrate our 30th year and reflect on our work and achievements over this time it’s also important to look to the future and PLANED’s evolving role. The Wellbeing of Future Generations Act has been driving force for many to think and work differently. PLANED embodies the five ways of working that the Act outlines, and we are proud to say we already apply them in the course of our work: We think long term, we have been active in Pembrokeshire for the last 30 years and are here for the long term. We support communities and volunteers to plan and to create their own plans for the future, through community visioning and action planning. We work proactively, acting to prevent problems occurring or getting worse and we support innovation across the county. We do not work in isolation. Integration is key, we consider how our organisational goals work together, how they impact on and work with the goals of others. We work in an efficient manner; we do not duplicate work. Collaboration is key to PLANED’s success, we work with partners and stakeholders to deliver the best for Pembrokeshire supporting networks and partnerships. We work with public, private and third sector organisations. We are community led. Involving people in development is the basis of sustainable, resilient communities. Looking to the future PLANED will be leading on two new exciting initiatives. The first is the Pembrokeshire Community Cooperative Share project, which will identify and support communities with share offers to purchase land and buildings to retain existing services or develop new ones. The second is the Community Wellbeing and Resilience project which will build capacity of communities so they can have a greater influence in decisions that affect them, particularly with regard to well-being, and support them to develop resilience to economic, environmental and social change. From the Board and the whole of the PLANED team we would like to extend our thanks to everyone that has helped us get to this landmark of 30 years, and we look forward to working with you over the next 30.” Lynne Upsdell Chair Rhagair “Wrth i ni ddathlu ein 30ain blwyddyn a myfyrio ar ein gwaith a’n llwyddiannau dros y cyfnod hwn, mae hefyd yn bwysig i edrych tua’r dyfodol a rôl PLANED sy’n datblygu. Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol fu’r grym pwerus i nifer fedru feddwl a gweithio yn wahanol. Mae PLANED yn ymgorffori’r pum ffordd o weithio a amlinellir gan y Ddeddf, ac rydym yn falch o ddweud ein bod eisoes yn eu defnyddio yn ein gwaith: Rydym wedi bod yn weithredol yn Sir Benfro ers y 30 mlynedd diwethaf ac rydym yma ar gyfer y tymor hir. Cefnogwn gymunedau a gwirfoddolwyr i gynllunio a chreu eu cynlluniau eu hunain ar gyfer y dyfodol, drwy weledigaeth gymunedol a chynlluniau gweithredu. Gweithiwn yn rhagweithiol, yn gweithredu i atal problemau rhag digwydd neu waethygu a chefnogwn arloesedd ar draws y sir. Nid ydym yn gweithio ar wahân . Mae integreiddio yn allweddol, rydym yn ystyried sut mae nodau ein sefydliad yn cydweithio, sut maent yn effeithio ar nodau eraill ac yn gweithio gyda hwy. Gweithiwn mewn modd effeithlon; nid ydym yn dyblygu gwaith. Mae gweithio ar y cyd yn hanfodol i lwyddiant PLANED, gweithiwn gyda phartneriaid a rhanddeiliaid i drosglwyddo’r gorau ar gyfer Sir Benfro gan gefnogi rhwydweithiau a phartneriaethau. Gweithiwn gyda sefydliadau’r cyhoedd, preifat a thrydydd sector. Rydym yn gweithio dan arweiniad y gymuned. Mae cynnwys pobl yn y datblygiad yn sail i gymunedau cynaliadwy, gwydn. Gan edrych tua’r dyfodol, bydd PLANED yn arwain dwy fenter newydd gyffrous. Y gyntaf yw prosiect Cyfranddaliadau Cydweithredol Cymunedol Sir Benfro, a fydd yn adnabod a chefnogi cymunedau gyda chynigion cyfranddaliadau i brynu tir ac adeiladau i ddal eu gafael ar wasanaethau sy’n bodoli eisoes neu i ddatblygu rhai newydd. Yr ail yw prosiect Lles a Chydnerthedd Cymunedol a fydd yn adeiladu gallu cymunedau fel y gallant gael mwy o ddylanwad ar benderfyniadau sy’n effeithio arnyn nhw , yn arbennig o ran llesiant, a’u cefnogi i ddatblygu cydnerthedd i newid economaidd, amgylcheddol a chymdeithasol. Gan y Bwrdd a holl dîm PLANED, hoffwn ddiolch i bawb sydd wedi ein helpu i gyrraedd y garreg filltir o 30 mlynedd, ac edrychwn ymlaen at gael gweithio gyda chi dros y 30 nesaf.” Lynne Upsdell Cadeirydd Our Work Our work can be described under three broad headings: PARTNERSHIPS AND ENTERPRISE AND REPRESENTATION LOCAL ACTION NETWORKS 01 02 03 We are committed to supporting communities to improve their quality of life by focusing on opportunities, harnessing potential and helping them to achieve their aspirations.

Moreover, this lamentable behaviour was as rife amongst the clergy as the laity.l Some twenty years later, at the provincial Council of Westminster in 1175, it was proposed that 'the Welsh should not sell churches nor give them in dower nor cling to their kinsfolk nor change wives'. Significantly, this proposition was not enacted in the council's legislation, perhaps because it was deemed unworkable.2 Likewise, at the end of the twelfth century Gerald of Wales noted the prevalence amongst the Welsh of incest, trial marriage, concubinage (reflected in the equal rights of inheritance granted to both illegitimate and legitimate children), the inheritance of ecclesiastical benefices and portionary churches.3 Such criticisms continued in the thirteenth century.

  • From Footnotes to Narrative
    1 INTRODUCTION LANGUISHING IN THE FOOTNOTES: WOMEN AND WELSH MEDIEVAL HISTORIOGRAPHY The era known as the high Middle Ages, in particular the thirteenth century, was an epochal period for Wales. While the high Middle Ages was a period of cultural transformation in all of western Europe, in Wales it was also a time of great upheaval and complete change, which was to have a greater impact on Welsh society than was experienced by most other medieval societies. In fact, for some, the effects of this upheaval and change in Wales may be described as catastrophic. The thirteenth century has been called the ‘age of the Welsh Princes’. Under the leadership of the rulers of the house of Gwynedd, the Welsh achieved some measure of independence from their English overlords during this century. For a time the native Welsh princes were able to mitigate their characteristic unrelenting internal conflict and factionalism and unite against their Anglo-Norman oppressors.1 Fundamental changes which were to have an overwhelming effect on Wales took place in England during this period. For example, the end of the twelfth and beginning of the thirteenth centuries saw the gradual introduction of the English common law into England, much of which is still in use to this day. The ascension to the English throne in 1272 of Edward I, who unlike his two predecessors was a strong king, was another factor in this upheaval and change which took place in Wales. 1 K. Stokes, The Myth of Wales: Constructions of Ethnicity 1100-1300 (Monash: Monash Publications in History: 27, 1999), p.15.

  • Introduction
    Introduction By the second quarter of the twelfth century, when Tintern, Whitland and Margam, the first Cistercian abbeys in Wales, were founded, the Anglo- Norman aristocratic élite from which their founders were drawn had succeeded in establishing firm control over lowland Gwent, Glamorgan, Gower and Pembroke, but Whitland and Margam were located on the fringes of these areas in the frontier zones between them and adjoining territory remaining under de facto Welsh rule, and Anglo-Norman governance in these zones was ‘frequently skeletal, nominal or non- existent’1 and constantly being challenged by the Welsh. They were joined in 1147 by the two Welsh Savigniac abbeys, Neath and Basingwerk, which became Cistercian when the Order of Savigny merged with the Cistercian Order. Like Whitland and Margam, Neath was located in a frontier zone, and the Anglo-Norman hold on the area of north-east Wales in which Basingwerk was located was also tenuous by the time it became Cistercian. Following the assumption of the patronage of Whitland and its first daughter-house, Strata Florida, by Rhys ap Gruffudd, the Lord Rhys (d. 1197), after he had succeeded in re-establishing Welsh hegemony in the kingdom of Deheubarth in the 1150s, the filiation of Whitland, which by 1201 numbered a further six Cistercian abbeys distributed throughout the length and breadth of pura Wallia, became clearly identifiable as native Welsh abbeys with Welsh patrons, choir monks and political sympathies, whereas the other Cistercian foundations in Wales all had French or English mother houses and choir monks, maintained close connections with their Anglo-Norman patrons, and were unable to establish Welsh daughter 1 R.R.

(Sirs, England is an Island, and I ought to leave it at that). André Siegfried (1875-1959). The story of the English Island-fortress and its progress towards nationhood is a stirring one.

The first was that England was coterminous with Britain. The second is that ‘we’ (that is the English, or British) were the best at everything (or the things that mattered) and that we had been uniquely fortunate amongst nations. This book is the story of my dawning realisation that each of these was a myth. I was born in 1948 in Manchester, and brought up in Liverpool, where it was still relevant whether you were Protestant or Catholic, and the question of why the monasteries were dissolved by Henry VIII was still a matter of lively debate at school (at least among those of us who thought that there was more to life than football).

Its starting-point is a series of historical texts in Middle Welsh which, from the second quarter of the fourteenth century, begin to appear together in manuscripts to form a continuous history, termed the Welsh Historical Continuum. The central component of this sequence is a translation of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s influential history of the Britons. The main questions of the first part of the thesis are when and why these historical texts were first combined, and to what degree this Welsh historiographical phenomenon reflects broader European trends.
