Cardwell, Samuel, “Welsh princes in an Anglo-Norman world: a historicist reading of the Third Branch of the Mabinogi”, Studia Celtica 56 (2022): 63–76.
- journal article
This article examines the internal historical evidence of the Third Branch of the Mabinogi. Through a close examination of the historical detail of Manawydan's sojourn as a craftsman in the cities of England, it becomes evident that the Third Branch reflects aristocratic social and economic anxieties in the decades following the Norman invasion of Wales. In light of an as-yet-unrecognized connection between the Third Branch and the twelfth-century royal biography Vita Griffini Filii Conani, this article suggests an early twelfth-century date for the former text.
