Based on the medieval Welsh chronicle Brut y Tywysogion, this essay is the first attempt to provide a history in English of the lives and acts of the kings and princes of Wales from Cadwaladr to Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last native Welsh prince.
Humphrey Llwyd (152768) was a prominent Welsh cartographer, and antiquary, as well as a Member of Parliament. Cronica Walliae is by far his most important and biggest extant work, but though he completed it in 1559, he never published it. This edition presents Llwyds achievement in its fullest state, using extant manuscripts to reproduce Llwyds original as faithfully as possible. The book marks the first attempt by anyone to tell the story in English of Welsh history through its kings and princes, from Cadwaladr to Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last native Welsh prince. Even though it wasnt published in Llwyds lifetime, it was nonetheless influential and served as the basis for much subsequent writing on Welsh history.
