The only ones that come to mind are the incomprehensible language and their alleged fondness for sheep. Neither seems relevant here.
Fyi, apparently the sheep thing was a quirk of the law. Most sheep were owned by English nobles. Steeling a sheep was summery execution by hanging from the nearest tree. However, carnal relations with it were dealt with by the church (with a mostly Welsh clergy).
I'll leave it to the reader to figure out why the English landowners caught an unsettling number of Welshman admitting to trying to shag sheep.
Fascinating!
They even get left out of those old a Scotsman, an Englishman, and an Irishman jokes. Though that's probably for the best
