 by Madoc the sonne of Owen Guyneth Prince 

 of North-wales, in the yeere 1170: taken 

 out of the history of Wales, lately published 

 by M. David Powel Doctor of Divinity. 



Fter the death of Owen Guyneth, his 

 sonnes fell at debate who should inherit 

 after him : for the eldest sonne borne 

 in matrimony, Edward or Jorweth Drwy- 

 dion, was counted unmeet to governe, 

 because of the maime upon his face : 

 and Howell that tooke upon him all the 



rule was a base sonne, begotten upon an Irish woman. 

 Therefore David gathered all the power he could, and 

 came against Howel, and fighting with him, slew him ; 

 and afterwards injoyed quietly the whole land of North- 

 wales, until his brother Jorwerths sonne came to age. 

 Madoc another of Owen Guyneth his sonnes left the * 0zven 

 land in contention betwixt his brethren, & prepared Guyneth.
