Forming Volume XI of the University of Wales History and Law Series, this work provides the definitive English translation and critical apparatus of Brut y Tywysogyon (The Chronicle of the Princes) based on Peniarth MS. 20. Translated and edited by Professor Thomas Jones, it serves as the foundational narrative source for medieval Welsh history, tracking native rulers and political developments from the death of Cadwaladr Fendigaid in the late 7th century through the fall of the native principality in the late 13th century. The volume includes Jones’s extensive textual introduction, critical commentary, and index of names and places.
