Cleddyf y Genedl - National Sword of Justice.
.
.Cleddyf y Genedl was the first of a number of items commissioned by Embassy Glyndŵr to restore the National Royal Treasures of Wales - as the original National Treasures of the Nation had either been plundered as 'spoils of war' (such as was the case with the Crown of the Royal House of Gwynedd and the 'Croes Naid') or, had been otherwise lost over the centuries. All nations seeking Self Determination need their symbols of sovereignty and Cleddyf y Genedl along with 'Coron Glyndŵr and ‘Dagr Glyndŵr’ (housed at the headquarters of Corwen Council) are now established symbols of the sovereignty of Wales.
.
Cleddyf y Genedl, the prestigeous sword handgrafted by Master Blacksmith Jason Gardiner of Ystradgynlais and of a similar style as the sword presented to Prince Owain Glyndŵr, by the King of France, on the occasion of Prince Owain's Coronation at Machynlleth in 1404, has finally been permanently homed at Machynlleth Town Council's new Headquarters Y Plas Machynlleth.
This unique sword was sponsored by Castle Welsh Crafts of Caerdydd and presented during a prestigious civic ceremony, to Machynlleth and Bro Ddyfi by Embassy Glyndŵr, as part of celebrations organised by Embassy Glyndŵr in the town on and about 21 June 2004 to celebrate and commemorate the 600th anniversary of, both, the establishment of the Welsh Nation's first National Parliament and the occasion of the crowning of the great Welsh warrior as Prince of Wales in the town.

In September 2003 acorns were gathered from the Oaks atop the mount of Llys Glyndyfrdwy. Carefully nurtered, six seedlings from the aforementioned acorns were taken and planted in secret locations close to Machynlleth. This was done by Embassy Glyndŵr on 21 June 2004 in association with a major national commemoration that had been organised to take place in Machynlleth during that mid-Summer to celebrate and commemmorate the 600th anniversary of 21 June 1404.

NB: Start to organise now for 'Dydd Glyndwr' 16 Medi 2009, let us make special effort for a big all Wales effort this year. Not least because in 2010 will be most important Elections and in 2011 there will be a referendum on more powers for the Welsh Assembly, we are more interested in restoration of 'Sened Glyndwr Cenedl Cymru Rydd' but still it's all to that glorious end patriotic purpose. So lets raise some 'Nationalist' enthusiasm, starting this Autumn. Thus, one and all begin to get together to organise local 'Dydd Glyndwr' festivities for 16 Medi in as many communities as possible, and on Saturday 19 September attend a National local Glyndwr Festival as the successful one at Abercraf in the South.
