Not dated but c1781. (258*205 mm). The DNB, in the entry for Sir John Wynn, states that his manuscript of this work, much prized in Wales, 'was at last published by Daines Barrington in 1770... and reprinted with additional notes in his 'Miscellanies' in 1781. For these editions Dr ThomasPercy... contributed genealogical tables and notes'. The 'History's' main objective is to tell the story of Sir John's ancestors and show their noble lineage. The Welsh gentry of the early modern period were famous for the importance they attached to lineage. The 'History' was composed when the hierarchical values of the Middle Ages were still one of the cornerstones of society and noble ancestry reinforced a landowner's status and power. So important was ancestry to society during that period that Sir John was forced to defend himself in court after Thomas Prys of Plas Iolyn brought a case against him for claiming that he was a direct descendant of Owain Gwynedd.
