The Byddin Frenhiniol Gymreig was formed in 1821 with the Arthurian Charter of that year. The Charter established a standing army and established new Regiments and confirmed older regiments. The BFG had existed since the 1650 Hywel Charter, but the Army had been allowed to stagnate until the 1716 reforms. The English Occupation represented a break in the military traditions of Wales and the Army was re-established by Rhisiart I during the War of Independence. This new Army, however, was an irregular one, made up of some pre-existing regiments, some created during the war. None of them, however, had standing barracks and Parliament had not confirmed the Army's existence.

  • The Byddin Frenhiniol Gymreig was formed in 1821 with the Arthurian Charter of that year. The Charter established a standing army and established new Regiments and confirmed older regiments. The BFG had existed since the 1650 Hywel Charter, but the Army had been allowed to stagnate until the 1716 reforms. The English Occupation represented a break in the military traditions of Wales and the Army was re-established by Rhisiart I during the War of Independence. This new Army, however, was an irregular one, made up of some pre-existing regiments, some created during the war. None of them, however, had standing barracks and Parliament had not confirmed the Army's existence. Following the Treaty of Shrewsbury, the Army continued to exist in this legal no-mans land. It continued to exist, raise men, and fight wars on behalf of the Sovereign, but its legality was questionable. This ambiguity was removed with the 1821 Charter which officially re-established the Army as an organ of the State.
