I’m hoping I’m in a muddle here! I googled (because I’m a bit of a history nerd and I don’t know anything about ancient welsh history) Brychan Brycheiniog who the Brecon Beacons is being renamed after and he appears to have been a rapist! ://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/bios/brychbbg.html multiple sources say the same thing. Seems to have disappeared from Wikipedia though (I’m pretty sure it was included earlier today 🤔) and is not mentioned in the various newspaper columns about ‘ who was brychan brycheiniog?’ although these same columns have clearly referenced the same web pages, such as the link above, that come up on google .
I can’t quite get my head around the fact that the idea of beacons, an ancient communication and warning system is thought to be ‘not a good look’ (quote from national park representative) because of current carbon emissions, but changing the name to that of a rapist is somehow better!
