Talk:Red Bandits of Mawddwy

Latest comment: 13 years ago by Tivedshambo
Didnt their name refer to their red hair? Or their bloody deeds? Can someone clarify?? Jeremy Bolwell (talk) 10:40, 4 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
One of the bandits was called John Goch - Goch or Coch is the Welsh word for red. Whether he was known as this because he was a red bandit, or the other way round, I'm not sure. I'll ask the author of the original Welsh article to see if they know. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 07:31, 5 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Apparently they were red-haired. I'll see if I can find a citation. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 20:59, 5 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
