The new king of England, William I (‘The Conqueror’) quickly secured his English kingdom by establishing earldoms along the Anglo-Welsh borders at Hereford, Shrewsbury and Chester. But it wasn’t long before the new Norman lords began to look at expanding their lands westward into Wales.
William himself led a military expedition across south Wales to St. David’s in 1081, and is said to have founded Cardiff on the way. Throughout the 1080’s and 1090’s the Normans penetrated areas of Wales, conquering and settling Pembroke and the Vale of Glamorgan in southern Wales. England’s King Henry I, William’s youngest son, encouraged large-scale Norman settlement in south Wales, building the first royal castle at Carmarthen in 1109. The Welsh princes refused to submit however, and took the opportunity to reclaim land from the Normans when some ‘in (English royal) family’ feuding took place, following the death of King Henry I in 1135." www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofWales/The-English-...

"Mae ffin ieithyddol Sir Benfro, neu'r llinell Landsker, yn ffin ieithyddol hanesyddol yn ne-orllewin Cymru. Mae'r bobl i'r gogledd o'r ffin yn siarad Cymraeg yn bennaf tra bod y bobl i'r de wedi siarad Saesneg yn bennaf er y 12g.
Mae'r ymraniad ieithyddol hwn yn adlewyrchu hanes yr ardal. Daeth de Penfro i feddiant y Normaniaid yn yr 11g ac yn y ganrif olynol cafwyd mewnlifiad sylweddol o Saeson a Ffleminiaid. Saesneg a Fflemeg oedd iaith y rhan honno o'r sir mewn canlyniad. Mae ôl y Fflemeg i'w gweld ar dafodiaith Saesneg Sir Benfro o hyd.
Siaredir Cymraeg gan y mwyafrif o hyd yn y gogledd, yn enwedig ar hyd yr arfordir o ardal Tyddewi i fyny ac ym mryniau'r Preselau a'r cylch. Yno y ceir tafodiaith Sir Benfro (Dyfedeg) ar ei chryfaf.
Yn ôl yr hynafiaethydd George Owen, ar ddechrau'r 16g y Gymraeg oedd iaith cantrefi Cemais, Cilgerran a Phebidiog. I'r dwyrain rhedai'r landsker trwy blwyfi Llanbedr Felffre a Llanddewi Felffre yng nghantref Arberth a thrwy Llanfallteg a Llandysilio yng nghantref Daugleddau."
