The history of the Gwydir family
- Early Modern English
- prose
An English-language history of the Wynn(e) family of the Gwydir estate (Conwy), written by one of its most prominent members, Sir John Wynn (d. 1627), MP and first baronet. The history asserts a claim to noble or royal ancestry by tracing the family’s origins to Gruffudd ap Cynan, king of Gwynedd, through his son Owain (Gwynedd) and grandson Rhodri. Its primary historical value lies in its accounts of more recent events during the later middle ages, although there is much that is imaginative.
