Just to clarify, my previous message was to explain that the plaque could
not be to commemorate "the 800th anniversary of Prince Llewelyn's (sic)
rise to power". Llywelyn ap Gruffudd wasn't even born 800 years before 1988
and he died in 1282.
Alison has in a message off-list suggested it might be to commemorate the
750th anniversary of a gathering of armies at Ystrad Fflur. This seems
quite plausible, although an image of Ystrad Fflur might have been more
appropriate for that. I'm still inclined to think that it was produced to
mark a gathering of modern day Llywelyn supporters at Cilmeri in 1988. They
used to meet annually there (Cofiwn), and may still do so.

Hello again Sara,
Thanks for your e-mail. I am wondering if it could commemorate the 750th
Anniversary of when “Prince Llewelyn summoned all the Lords and Barons in
Wales to Ystradflur, where each of them swore to remain true and faithful
subjects, and did Homage to David, Llewelyn’s son, whom he had named to
succeed him”? (The History and Antiquities of the County of Cardigan, by
Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick.)
