The rain has passed by (for now) and a father and daughter team set out to clear the highways and byways of their rural Welsh village. With the warm sun on their backs, they enjoyed the clean country air and now cleaner country lanes!

Today in Welsh history… 7th of May 1915, RMS Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat. Welsh survivors included Welsh industrialist and politician David Alfred Thomas, the tenor Gwynn Parry Jones, and the Gwent Glee Singers, a Newport male voice choir who had performed in Washington for the American President. Surviving members sang in their lifeboat to keep up the spirits of fellow passengers. Of the 1,962 passengers and crew aboard Lusitania, 1,198 lost their lives. The sinking caused an international outcry, especially in Britain and the United States, with 128 U.S. citizens losing their lives.

Historians have suggested that the Lusitania was deliberately placed in danger by Britain, to prompt a U-boat attack and bring the US into the war. A week before the sinking, Winston Churchill wrote to the President of the Board of Trade, Walter Runciman - "it is most important to attract neutral shipping to our shores, in the hope especially of embroiling the United States with Germany."

Today in Welsh history… 8th May 1648, the largest battle ever to take place in Wales was fought at St. Fagans near Cardiff.

Although the Civil War seemed to be over, there was residual unrest in some garrisons due to non-payment of wages followed by the order from Parliament for commanders to disband their forces. Consequently, some disgruntled commanders changed sides to support the King’s cause. Major-General Rowland Laugharne, Parliament’s commander in South Wales, was one of those to switch his allegiance. Parliament sent a detachment of around 3,000 professional troops and cavalry under the command of Colonel Thomas Horton to quell the Welsh rebellion. Horton made camp at St. Fagans, waiting to be reinforced by an army led by Cromwell himself. Desperate to engage before Cromwell arrived, Laugharne made a surprise attack. However, despite their numerically larger force, the Royalists were defeated within 2 hours by the well-drilled New Model Army troops.
Today in Welsh history… 17th May 1682, Bartholomew Roberts was born in Casnewydd Bach, Pembrokeshire. Roberts was the most successful buccaneer of the Golden Age of Piracy, he freebooted between the Americas and Africa, created the Pirate Code, and was one of the first to use a Jolly Roger flag.

Roberts went to sea in 1695 at age 13, and nothing further is recorded until 1718, when he was captured by pirates and pressed into joining their crew. A few weeks later, the pirate captain was dead, and Roberts was the new captain.

‘Black Bart’, as he came to be known, was killed in battle with the warship HMS Swallow in 1722. The pirate was instantly killed with the first volley of grapeshot.

Roberts’ body was sent to the bottom wrapped in a sheet of canvas and loaded with treasure before his ship surrendered. And his infamy has ensured his continued presence in both works of fiction and non-fiction into modern times.
