Book Content Summary:
This essential reference work provides a chronological “calendar” or descriptive summary of the vast collection of papers belonging to the Wynn family of Gwydir. Spanning nearly two centuries, these documents offer an unparalleled glimpse into the political, social, and economic life of North Wales during the Tudor and Stuart eras. The collection includes personal letters, legal memoranda, and official correspondence from figures such as Sir John Wynn, the first baronet, and provides unique primary source material on local governance and family rivalries.

The volume is meticulously indexed by person, place, and subject, making it an invaluable tool for researchers and genealogists tracing the history of families like the Mostyns, Bulkeleys, and Vaughans. Notable inclusions are letters from Oliver Cromwell and William Lenthall, highlighting the family’s involvement in the turbulent events of the mid-17th century.
