Talk:Cantref

[edit] Duplicates

The cantrefi of Cemais and Rhos are listed under both Gwynedd and Deheubarth. Is this right? Rhos might certainly be, since it means "moor" and is perfectly plausible as a name for large swathes of Wales. But what about Cemais? A search for Cemais reveals it as a Norman lordship around Haverfordwest (hence Deheubarth); whereas Cemaes is indeed in Gwynedd. Is there a mix-up here? Edricson 08:07, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rhwng Gwy a Hafren

Does this list (from its format) not beg the question of the early stsus of the area between the Severn and the Wye? Furthermore, why are no cantrefs listed in southeast Wales? Peterkingiron (talk) 22:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
