In the 12th century, many Flemish people settled in Pembrokeshire. According to researchers Brian K. Roberts and Jonathan Kissock, you can still see this in the landscape. In addition to characteristic toponyms, the villages linked to Flemish residents also have an atypical form for the region. The villages have the characteristics of a reclamation village, where narrow parcels are perpendicular to a road, a pattern that you can now also find in the Flemish Meetjesland.
The Flemish-Welsh relationship in the 12th-13th century, was not so good. This is shown by the Welsh poetry that glorify the men who fight 'the men of Rhos' (the Flemish). These 12th-13th-century poems depict the Flemish as the main enemies.
