Triads
[edit]The Welsh Triads are a series of sayings written in three consecutive lines. The phrases serve to depict people, events, and places from Medieval Britain. The triads are both a source of pride for the British people and are a semi-reliable source of historical information on the British Isles. The three-line writing form is thought to have been a mnemonic device for Bards; the prevalent heraldic tradition required a better method for recall.
