From Sweyn's Eye, Sweyn Forkbeard who was a brutal ruler known for persecution of those who didn't agree with him including his father, Harald Bluetooth (inventor of wireless communication between devices way ahead of his time).
We can't name our city after this brute of a man. We'll have to come up with another name.
What shall we call our home? |  |

Why not Swansea! After the original track into the area looked across what we now know as Jersey Marine, Crymlyn Burrows, the University site and Port Tennant.
At the time the whole area was marshland and home to hundreds of swans, resembling a 'sea of swans', hence the name Swansea. This is a fact, and may, just may be the real reason where Swansea got it's name from.  |  | | |

We can't have Caerdydd then, castles were always used to oppress people, so any place that uses 'Caer' or any place name that is taken from the place previously having been a casrle or fortress is now banned. | |
