Uthr/Yrth

[edit]

I've just read the badly-argued and sloppily written "article" on the link given, about the supposed identity of Einion Yrth and Uther Pendragon. The site is full of self-published theories passing as "history" and what I've seen of the early Wales-related articles is full of errors, assumptions, half-truths and downright nonsense. This for Rhos, for example: "Initially Rhos was likely to have been part of the territory of the kingdom of Ceredigion. The origin of the name is obscure, but it may have its basis in the former Roman cantref name". Initially part of Ceredigion (founded at the same date, with Gwynedd lying between them!)? As for the name, obviously they don't know it is a common place name element ("moor" etc) and as for "the former Roman cantref of that name", the mind boggles. Absolute bullshit! This link is "original research" at its worst, badly researched, unsourced, etc. I'm removing it as OR and unencyclopaedic. (Here's the original link, for what it's worth).
