Ambrose Bebb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Ambrose Bebb (1894-1955) was a Welsh author and politician.

Ambrose Bebb was the son of diarist Edward Hughes Bebb, and the father of noted Welsh rugby international Dewi Bebb. The family came from Cardiganshire.

A co-founder of Plaid Cymru, Bebb took a keen interest in politics and was inclined towards fascism, influenced by Charles Maurras of the Action Francaise movement.[1] With the outbreak of the Second World War, Bebb became a vocal proponet of the War Effort against Nazi Germany, and considered Germany's total defeat "essential"[2].
