Until the late 13th century, when it was conquered by the English army of Edward 1, Wales was an independent country. It remained as a conquered territory until 1536, when it was integrated into the combined countries of England and Wales by Henry the Eighth. Even today, Government statistics often give statistics for England and Wales as a combination, with the rest of the UK having its own statistics. Welsh people are still very proud of their heritage and 'Welshness', even though only a minority are able to speak their own language of Welsh which is mainly spoken in rural communities of North Wales. All road signs and official paperwork in Wales is bi-lingual - English and Welsh. Welsh people are classed as British in international law and travel on a British passport if travelling overseas.
