But the protests all seemed more bark than bite. Now nine Welshmen are on trial for organizing a paramilitary outfit called the Free Wales Army, and last week the court was told of a document found in the home of one defendant detailing plans to murder young Charles "if necessary" to prevent his investiture at Caernarvon Castle.
