Anglesey, known also as Ynys Mon, is an island off the north coast of Wales.

Historically, Anglesey has long been associated with the Druids. In c. 60 AD the Roman general Caius Suetonius Paulinus, determined to break the power of the druids, attacked the island, destroyed the shrine and the sacred groves.

It is the site of Llys Rhosyr, the court of the mediaeval Welsh princes.
