Packet B: Bonus 3
In Nennius’s History of the Britons, a fight between two of these creatures serves as a metaphor for Celtic resistance to the Saxon invasion. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this creature depicted on Henry Tudor’s banners at the Battle of Bosworth Field as a reference to the 7th-century king of Gwynedd Cadwaladr ap Cadwallon (“GWIN-eth cad-WA-la-der ap cad-WA-lon”).
ANSWER: Welsh dragon [or ddraig Cymraeg (“thraig cum-raig”); or ddraig goch (“goh”); accept red dragon; accept white dragon; accept ddraig gwyn]
[10e] According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, this magician at the court of King Arthur prophesied that Cadwaladr would someday return to Britain to restore the descendants of Brutus of Troy to the throne.
ANSWER: Merlinus Ambrosius [accept Myrddin Wyllt (“MER-thin wilt”)]
[10h] Description acceptable. Another Tudor appropriation of legendary Welsh history argued that Brutus, Arthur, and Prince Madoc of Gwynedd had taken this action centuries earlier. Madoc supposedly did this to avoid a dispute between his siblings.
ANSWER: sailing to the Americas [accept traveling to the Americas or equivalents; accept discovering or conquering or colonizing the Americas; accept New World or Western Hemisphere in place of “the Americas”; accept crossing the Atlantic or equivalents; prompt on crossing the ocean by asking “which ocean?”; prompt on sailing away or equivalents by asking “to where?”]
