I can’ help thinking that Geraldus Cambrensis was after something when he wrote about the Welsh in such glowing terms:

These people being of a sharp and acute intellect, and gifted with
a rich and powerful understanding, excel in whatever studies they
pursue, and are more quick and cunning than the other inhabitants
of a western clime.
