Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Battle of Fishguard was a military invasion of Great Britain by Revolutionary France during the War of the First Coalition. The brief campaign, on 22–24 February 1797, is the most recent landing on British soil by a hostile foreign force, and thus is often referred to as the "last invasion of mainland Britain".

Summary from Cymraeg / Welsh Wikipedia (cywiki)

Ymgais gan Weriniaeth Gyntaf Ffrainc i oresgyn Teyrnas Prydain Fawr yn ystod Rhyfel y Glymblaid Gyntaf oedd Brwydr Abergwaun neu Laniad y Ffrancod. Hwn oedd y goresgyniad diwethaf gan lu milwrol ar dir mawr Prydain. Roedd yr ymosodiad wedi'i ddyfeisio gan cadlywydd Ffrengig Lazare Hoche ac roedd tair rhan iddo, gyda'r prif ymosodiad yn cefnogi Cymdeitha y Gwyddelod Unedig, ond oherwydd y tywydd un ddigwyddodd, sef yr ymosodiad ar Abergwaun. Lladdwyd ac anafwyd 33, daliwyd 1,360 yn garcharorion a dwy long.
