Piedmont, placed between the two systems of alliance, sided, according to circumstances and its interests, with either. Holland was united with England or with France, as the party of the stadtholders or that of the people prevailed in the republic. Switzerland was neutral. In the last half of the eighteenth century, two powers had risen in the north, Russia and Prussia.
The red-haired banditti of Mawddwy were exterminated long before the conclusion of the sixteenth century, after having long been the terror not only of these wild regions but of the greater part of North Wales. They were called the red- haired banditti because certain leading individuals amongst them had red foxy hair. "Is that young man your son?" said I, after a little pause. "Yes, he my son."

Their two companions were soon waylaid and killed, and the Boones spent their long winter in that mighty solitude undisturbed.
