  • OUR BRAND OUR STORY DRAGONS a Dragon Is a Legendary Creature That Appears in the Folklore of Many Cultures Around the World
    OUR BRAND OUR STORY DRAGONS A dragon is a legendary creature that appears in the folklore of many cultures around the world. Beliefs about dragons vary drastically by region, but since the High Middle Ages, dragons in western cultures have often been depicted as winged, horned, four-legged, and capable of breathing fire. Dragon-like creatures are first described in ancient mythology and appear in ancient Mesopotamian art and literature. In western cultures, dragons are portrayed as monsters to be tamed or overcome, usually by saints or culture heroes, as in the popular legend of Saint George and the Dragon. They are often said to have ravenous appetites and to live in caves, where they hoard treasure. The red dragon has been associated with Wales for centuries, with the origin of the adoption lost in history and myth. The red dragon is popularly believed to have been the battle standard of King Arthur and other ancient Celtic/Romano-British leaders. Owain Glyndwr raised the dragon standard during his revolts against the occupation of Wales by the English crown in 1400. In the Mabinogion the red dragon fights with an invading white dragon, eventually defeating it. The Marcher Lordships were the basic units of administration for the next 450 years, until GWENT Henry VIII passed the Laws in Wales Act 1535. This Act abolished the Marcher Lordships and Gwent was a medieval Welsh kingdom, lying established the County of Monmouthshire, between the Rivers Wye and Usk. It existed combining the Lordships east of the Usk with from the end of Roman rule in Britain in about Newport (Wentloog) and Caerleon to the west the 5th century until the Norman conquest of of it.
