Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on August 06, 1938)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Rees Davies! Celebrating a historian whose idea of a wild night out involves debating medieval lordship and conquest. Your groundbreaking works, "Wales: the Age Of Conquest" and "Lords and Lordship in the British Isles," have made history buffs everywhere cheer louder than rugby fans at Cardiff Arms Park.

From presiding over the Royal Historical Society to chairing the Ancient Monuments Board, you've conquered academia with more flair than Edward I ever managed in Wales. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer footnotes—because even historians deserve a break from citations occasionally!
