ISBN: 9798868121531

This book presents a translation of the annals compiled at Margam Abbey in southern Wales, covering the years 1066 to 1231. While primarily focused on English and Welsh events, it also includes some material on broader international affairs.

Excerpt:

We have separated the original Latin text into Chapters by regnal year to help navigation and provided sub-heading for key events. We have separated some of the longer Latin sections into multiple paragraphs to better aid readability. We include both the Latin and the English translation to not lose the original context.

Who is this book for?

These annals are an important source for the history of Wales and England in the 12th and 13th centuries. They will be especially useful for those studying politics and monastic life in the region.
