That means a ton coming from you Nathan! How did I do on my Welsh history ? Did I pass the smell test? Can't tell you how long I went down that wormhole 🐉

It's not something I've ever considered to be honest, but it doesn't mean its incorrect. Henry very plausibly could have considered the importance of red for the dragon and red for the rose.

Oh I just meant did I get the Merlin / welsh dragon legend thing correct - really interesting to look into. One day I want to attempt to read Geoffrey monmouth's history of Britain

And you mentioned how the red beat the white! I have a red dragon tattooed on my arm, got it when I was 16. Was very much of its time, big red dragons on Welsh arms!
