Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography
The antiquary and map-maker Humphrey Llwyd was born in Denbigh about 1527 and educated at the University of Oxford. He was credited with facilitating the passage of thw Bill for translation of the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer into Welsh. Ieuan M. Williams was Director of Extra-Mural Studies at University College, Swansea, in 1960 and was appointed to the Chair of Adult and Continuing Education in 1980. He also served as Vice-Principal from 1980 to 1983. Following the death of Ieuan Williams in 2000, the previous edition of Cronica Walliae was prepared for publication by J. Beverley Smith, Emeritus Professor of Welsh History at Aberystwyth University.
Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Cronica Walliae, Llwyd's earliest and by far his largest extant work, was completed in 1559 but remained unpublished. In this essay, Llwyd presents what he regarded as the true history of Wales to readers outside its borders. Based on the medieval Welsh chronicle Brut y Tywysogion, it 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. The Elizabethan scholar David Powel later used Cronica Walliae as the basis for Historie of Cambria (1584), which became the foundational work for the history of Wales.
