EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of Welsh history, Howell the Good, also known as Howell Dda or Hywel Dda, is depicted proclaiming the laws of Wales to the assembled parliament. The year is circa 942, and the setting is the royal court of this legendary king, who ruled over much of Wales during a time of relative peace and stability. Howell Dda is shown in regal attire, seated on a throne adorned with intricate carvings of dragons, a symbol of Welsh power and sovereignty. Surrounding him are the members of the Welsh parliament, an assembly of noblemen, clerics, and other influential figures, all gathered to hear the new laws that their king has decreed. The scene is filled with a sense of solemnity and importance, as the weighty matters of governance are discussed and decided. Howell Dda's expression is serious and resolute, reflecting the gravity of the moment. The parliament members listen intently, their faces a mix of concentration and respect. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Wales was a distinct political entity, with its own laws and institutions. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to shape the Welsh identity today. The dragon, a symbol of Welsh pride and independence, looms large in the background, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Welsh people. Howell Dda's proclamation of the laws of Wales marks a significant moment in the country's history, and this powerful image captures the essence of that moment in a way that is both historic and timeless. It is a reminder of the importance of governance, the role of leadership, and the enduring power of tradition.
