The Battle in the Sky

 

As readers of the saga will know,  Martha sees the battle in the sky and takes it as a sign of appalling things to come.

This is a splendid imagining of the battle inn the sky above Mynydd Morfil, by Hugh Thomas and published on his Facebook page.  Note the detail in the painting -- zoom in on the sky just above and to the right of the cottage and you will see the shadowy figures of the medievel soldiers who are involved in the thunderous mayhem......

The cottage is a pretty good representation of the buildings of the time, up on the flanks of Preseli.  And the far horizon is pretty accurate too -- including the silhouette of the distant summit of Carningli.
