RN #2 Welsh History : Middle Ages
Research notebook #2 deals with Welsh history during the Middle Ages. It mostly contains articles written about this period.
Welsh Households For the SCA. By Maredudd ap Cynan.
Wales in the Early Middle Ages. By Wendy Davis.
Pattern of Power in Early Wales. By Wendy Davis.
Medieval Wales. By David Walker.
The Archaeology of The Welsh Marches. By S.C. Stanford.
Information gathered from a series of outstanding articles. Those by Wendy Davies in my opinion are the best source of information for this foundational period in Welsh history.

RN #1 Historical Atlas and Chronologies
The first research notebook [hereafter = RN] deals with general history of Welsh, Anglo-Saxon England, Vikings, and the like. It was my attempt to gather information regarding the historical background to the land of my ancestors. It contains:
Kings and Princes chronology 700-800 AD
Kings and Princes chronology 880-1066 AD
Bishops : chronology 700 - 880 AD
Bishops: chronology 880-1066 AD
from- Hill, An Atlas of Anglo-Saxon England
The Vikings in the West: chronology 780 - 869 AD
The Vikings in the West : chronology 870 - 959 AD
Time Charts: Edward I and Wales
from - Trevor Herbert, Gareth Jones
Outline of Welsh Political History
from - A Short History of Wales, by Owen Edward.
Wales at The Time of The Treaty of Montgomery in 1267, by John G. Williams.
An Historical Atlas of Wales : From Early to Modern Time, by William Rees. University College, Cardiff.
This notebook contains my collection of tables and charts with the last Atlas by Rees being the best outline of a history of Wales that I have been able to discover. This is an example of the first research notebook that I have put together.
