Geoffrey Of Monmouth DID NOT believe Deheubarth was 'Irish' when he was writing in the 11th century!

Please stop promoting an outright lie in that South West Wales was essentially Irish in the 11th Century. It's ludicrous. The time is well documented not least by Geoffrey of Monmouth who knew very well that Deheubarth was the seat of the House of Dinefwr. It was the stronghold of the Cymru. The Irish settlement previously referenced was in the 5th century (that's 600 years earlier!) And eradicated by force by famous campaigns by the likes of Cunedda Wledig in the South before Maelgwn Gwynedd erased the last Irish settlements from North West Wales in the 6th century and refounded the kingdom of Gwynedd. You can't use this as an awkward justification for a fringe theory. It doesn't fit. The facts are there you can't just make stuff up. This is backed up by history summarised in every other article on the subject on this platform and further by genetic and linguistic evidence on the ground. No large scale Irish settlement past the 5th century and certainly no Irish identity nor control.

To sum up; Geoffrey knew where Ireland was, as did everyone else when he wrote that piece.
