 有史以来最伟大的威尔士人

Paul King

Historic UK很高兴地宣布我们2013年的第一次民意调查,我们将询问您--我们亲爱的读者--您认为谁是有史以来最伟大的威尔士人。

最初,我们有一份超过20名候选人的短名单,但经过在Historic UK办公室的长时间激烈讨论,我们成功地将选择范围缩小到了9名。 他们是::

- Owain Glyndwr - 威尔士亲王和中世纪的威尔士民族主义领袖

See_also: 英格兰的罗马路

- 阿尼林-贝文 - 率先建立了国家卫生系统。

- 圣帕特里克 - 爱尔兰的守护神,但人们认为他是一个威尔士人!

- 最后的Llywelyn - 一个独立的威尔士的最后一位王子。

- 劳埃德-乔治 - 英国首相和福利国家的创始人。

- 理查德-伯顿 - 这位获得七项奥斯卡奖提名的著名演员

- 迪伦-托马斯 - 诗人,《牛奶森林下》的作者。

- J.P.R. Williams - 史上最伟大的橄榄球联盟后卫之一。

- 亨利七世 - 也被称为亨利-都铎,都铎家族的第一位君主。

结果

经过三个月的投票,并以压倒性的30.43%的选票,您选择了 Owain Glyndwr 作为历史上最伟大的威尔士人!也许最著名的是领导了一场反对英国在威尔士的统治的激烈起义,欧文-格林德沃也是最后一个拥有威尔士王子头衔的威尔士人。 关于欧文-格林德沃的更多生活,请点击这里阅读我们的文章。

与其他民意调查相比

2003年,Culturenet Cymru进行了一次类似的投票,旨在确定历史上最伟大的100位威尔士英雄。 虽然围绕这次投票有很大的争议(一位前雇员甚至声称投票被操纵了!),但为了全面起见,我们将其结果与我们自己的投票进行了比较,如下。
