Representatives from two Welsh nationalist groups founded the previous year , Byddin Ymreolwyr Cymru ( '' the Army of Welsh Home Rulers '' ) and Y Mudiad Cymreig ( '' The Welsh Movement '' ) , agreed to meet and discuss the need for a '' Welsh party '' .

Although Saunders Lewis is regarded as the founder of Plaid Cymru , the historian John Davies argues that the ideas of the left - wing activist D. J. Davies , which were adopted by the party 's president Gwynfor Evans after the Second World War , were more influential in shaping its ideology in the long term . According to the historian John Davies , D. J. Davies was an '' equally significant figure '' as was Lewis in the history of Welsh nationalism , but it was Lewis 's '' brilliance and charismatic appeal '' which was firmly associated with Plaid in the 1930s . After initial success as an educational pressure group , the events surrounding Tan yn Lln ( Fire in Lln ) in the 1930s led to the party adopting a pacifist political doctrine and protests against the flooding of Capel Celyn in the 1950s further helped define its politics . These early events were followed by Evans 's election to Parliament as the party 's first MP in 1966 , the successful campaigning for the Welsh Language Act of 1967 and Evans going on hunger strike for a dedicated Welsh - language television channel in 1981 . Plaid Cymru is the third largest political party in Wales , with 11 of 60 seats in the National Assembly for... - Gwynedd is an area in north-west Wales, named after the old Kingdom of Gwynedd. As a local government area, it is the second biggest in Wales in terms of geographical area and also one of the most sparsely populated. A majority of the population are Welsh-speaking. The name Gwynedd is also used for a preserved county, covering the two local government areas of Gwynedd and the Isle of Anglesey. Culturally and historically, the name can also be used for most of North Wales (for instance, the area covered by the Gwynedd Constabulary), roughly corresponding to the territory of the Kingdom of Gwynedd at its greatest extent. The current area is 2,548 square km (983.78 sq miles, slightly smaller than Luxembourg) with a population as measured in the 2011 Census of 121,874. - Market town or market right is a legal term, originating in the Middle Ages, for a European settlement that has the right to host markets, distinguishing it from a village and city. A town may be correctly described as a "market town" or as having "market rights", even if it no longer holds a market, provided the legal right to do so still exists. - Caernarfonshire, historically spelled as Caernarvonshire or Carnarvonshire in English, is one of the thirteen historic counties, a vice-county and a former administrative county of Wales. - A nation (from Latin: "natio", "people, tribe, kin, genus, class, flock") is a large group or collective of people with common characteristics attributed to them including language, traditions, "mores" (customs), "habitus" (habits), and ethnicity. By comparison, a nation is more impersonal, abstract, and overtly political than an ethnic group. It is a cultural-political community that has become conscious of its autonomy, unity, and particular interests. - A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past. Common examples include holidays or impractical but socially meaningful clothes (like lawyers' wigs or military officers' spurs), but the idea has also been applied to social norms such as greetings. Traditions can persist and evolve for thousands of yearsthe word "tradition" itself derives from the Latin "tradere" or "traderer" literally meaning to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping. While it is commonly assumed that traditions have ancient history, many traditions have been invented on purpose, whether that be political or cultural, over short periods of time. Various academic disciplines also use the word in a variety of ways. - Pwllheli is a community and the main market town of the Lln Peninsula in Gwynedd, north-western Wales. It had a population of 4,076 in 2011 of whom a large proportion, 81 per cent, are Welsh speaking. Pwllheli is the place where Plaid Cymru was founded. It is the birthplace of the Welsh poet Sir Albert Evans-Jones (bardic name Cynan). - An administrative county was an administrative division in England and Wales and Ireland from 1888 to 1974, used for the purposes of local government.
