begins with the conflict between King Caradoc I, the son of Arch, and the Romans in the years

AD 42 -51. A battle was fought between Romans and the British at a traceable site in South Wales, and both sides claimed a victory. If the Romans won how is it that they were unable to enter South Wales until AD 74, good question . King Caradoc I went off north to Queen Aregwedd Ffoedawg -Cartismandua to foreigners to try to get her to help him clear the Romans out of Britain, but she put him in chains and handed him over to the Romans. This embarrassed the Romans who took Caradoc I and his family to Rome where they were housed in the Palace of the British. Christianity arrived in Wales in AD 37 the last year of Tiberius and so the first Christians arrived in Rome. Caradoc s sister named Claudia married Agricola, and a daughter married Ruffus Pudens of Biblical record. The first Bishop of Rome was Linus a son of King Caradoc I.
