Marged: Strong Woman of Snowdonia

Welsh Women #2

by Sian Lewis, Giles Greenfield (Illustrator)

Some people can play the harp. Some can wrestle. Some can weave. Not many people can do all three! In Snowdonia, in the eighteenth century, lived a woman called Marged who could play the harp, wrestle, weave, as well as row boats, compose songs, make her own instruments and much else besides. Marged was a tall strong woman, who would take no nonsense from anyone.

Mae rhai pobl yn gallu canu'r delyn ac eraill yn gallu reslo. Mae rhai'n gallu pedoli ceffyl. Does fawr neb sy'n gallu gwneud y tri pheth! Ddwy ganrif yn ôl, roedd yna ddynes yn byw yn Eryri oedd yn medru gwneud hyn i gyd yn ogystal â gwehyddu, adeiladu a rhwyfo cychod, cyfansoddi a chanu caneuon, a rhedeg tŷ tafarn. Roedd Marged ferch Ifan yn gawres gref na fyddai'n derbyn lol gan neb.
