King Arthur Arthuros Rex T Shirt/Crys T

Description

The Dark Age warrior known today as Arthur was originally called “Arthuros” in Latin. He has been the subjects of songs, poems, stories and legends in wales for over 1,500 years. In the earliest, detailed accounts of him, he was called  “Dux Bellorum” which means great general or military leader. Then in later medieval versions of him, he got elevated to King. This T-shirt is emblazoned “Arthuros Rex” which means “King Arthur” in Latin.

Through various legends he has many connections to Glamorgan depending where you look. He was supposedly crowned in Caerleon by St Dyfrig, a couple of sources say he fought his most famous battle at Baden Hill (and there is a Mynydd Baiden near Tondu) and he is supposedly buried simultaneously at Dinas Rock Glyn Neath and at Coity near Bridgend. The inclusion of words such as “supposedly” and “some say” may be gives away my opinion on all of this, but who am I to say? Any way, its a really cool T shirt.

Yn wreiddiol, galwyd y rhyfelwr Oesoedd Tywyll a elwir heddiw yn Arthur yn “Arthuros” yn Lladin. Mae wedi bod yn destun caneuon, cerddi, straeon a chwedlau yng Nghymru ers dros 1,500 o flynyddoedd. Yn y cyfrifon cynharaf a manwl ohono, fe’i gelwid yn “Dux Bellorum” sy’n golygu cadfridog mawr neu arweinydd milwrol. Yna mewn fersiynau canoloesol diweddarach ohono, cafodd ei ddyrchafu’n Frenin. Mae’r crys-T hwn wedi’i addurno â “Arthuros Rex” sy’n golygu “Brenin Arthur” yn Lladin.

Trwy wahanol chwedlau mae ganddo lawer o gysylltiadau â Sir Forgannwg yn dibynnu ble rydych chi’n edrych. Dywedir iddo gael ei goroni yn Caerleon gan Sant Dyfrig, mae cwpl o ffynonellau’n dweud iddo ymladd ei frwydr enwocaf ym Mynydd Baden (ac mae Mynydd Baiden ger Tondu) ac mae’n debyg ei fod wedi’i gladdu ar yr un pryd yng Nghraig Dinas, Glyn Nedd ac yng Nghoety ger Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr. Efallai bod cynnwys geiriau fel “yn ôl pob sôn” a “mae rhai’n dweud” yn datgelu fy marn ar hyn i gyd, ond pwy ydw i i ddweud? Beth bynnag, mae’n grys-T cŵl iawn.
