Wales was a country that is part of Great Britain. It is bordered by the Irish Sea to the north and west, England to the east, the Bristol Channel to the south, and the Celtic Sea to the south-west. It was largely mountainous with its higher peaks in the north and central area. The country lied within the north temperate zone and had a changeable, maritime climate. A majority of the population of Wales speaks English, but both Welsh and English were official languages.

History

The Beckett family was very wealthy—they owned a town house in London, a huge estate—Springhaven, in Somersetshire—their own private yacht, plus many tenant farms, mils, mines, and other properties scattered over southern England and into nearby Wales.^[2]

Behind the scenes

Although Welshmen like Henry Morgan and Bartholomew Roberts were mentioned in souvenir book for Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean,^[1] Wales itself was first mentioned in the 2011 novel Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom by A. C. Crispin.^[2]

Jonathan Pryce (Weatherby Swann) and Steve Speirs (Quartermaster/Edinburgh) were born in Wales.
