Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Princes of South Wales My Dear Eyton, As the following pages would never have been printed but for your encouragement and valuable assistance, I hope you will allow mo to dedicate them to you. As you are aware, the subject was taken up by me many years ago when my time was more at my own disposal than it has been of late years. I have now availed myself of a short period of comparative rest to finish what I then began. My original purpose had been simply to identify the representation of certain princely families through the perplexing era of the Conquest of Wales, and, as far as I could, to rectify sundry errors with respect to their descent. In the course of time, however, I found myself possessed of a considerable number of original deeds bearing upon their earlier history and carrying mo back to the time of their greater power when they ruled their respective dominions as independent sovereigns. This caused mo to study Welsh history more closely, and induced me to trace their chequered fortunes through a longer period. In so doing I have endeavoured to separate the history of that portion of South Wales in which their territories lay from the general history of the Principality. During the earlier part of the narrative my information has been mostly taken from the Brut-y-Tywysogion or Chronicle of the British Princes, verified and supplemented by the accounts of such contemporary writers as treated of Wales and the Borders. During the latter part it has been chiefly extracted from original records. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
