The Woman's Welsh Traditional Costume That Legend Says Stopped An Invasion
During the last invasion of Britain at Fishguard in Wales in 1797 , the French troops were incredibly drunk. They had found a grounded Portuguese shipwreck and on board its cargo was wine. The troops decided to drink it right there, right then, then tried to invade Britain. Apparently they saw thousands of British troops, lost heart and surrendered. There were no troops in the area and legend has it that thousands of Welsh women in traditional costume turned up to see the commotion the French were making and from a distance with wine goggles they were mistaken for British army redcoats.
