Research output: Other contributionBlog posts

Abstract

The horrific wreck of the Royal Charter had all of the elements of a sensational story: a huge loss of life, gold strewn on the shore, and a news feast accusing the people of Moelfre with plundering the wreck and stripping the bodies of victims for loot. | Roedd llongddrylliad ofnadwy Royal Charter yn cynnwys holl elfennau stori gyffrous: nifer fawr o farwolaethau, aur wedi’i wasgaru ar y lan, a’r newyddion yn cyhuddo pobl Moelfre o ysbeilio’r llongddrylliad a chwilio cyrff y dioddefwyr am ysbail.
