Edited sentence: At the outbreak of World War I, the last king, Love Pritchard, offered himself and the men of the island for military service, but he was refused as he was considered too old at the age of 71.In 1925 Pritchard left the island for the mainland, to seek a less laborious way of life, but died the following year.It was tradition for Bardsey Island to elect the King of Bardsey (Welsh:Brenin Enlli), and from 1820 onwards he would be crowned by Baron Newborough or his representative.Pritchard took umbrage, and declared the island to be a neutral power.The crown is now kept at Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool, although calls have been made for it to return to Gwynedd
