Welsh stick chairs

The Welsh Stick Chair is a chair whose history is largely undocumented. They were considered peasant chairs and were therefore not important enough to be documented. The earliest records indicate the time of Hywel Dda, the 10th century king. A 12th-century drawing showing a judge seated in a stick chair may be the first.
