This book tells a remarkable story. Edward Vaughan was the fifth son of a landed gentleman, and could not have expected much beyond a career in law. However, by fair means and foul (mostly foul), he managed to gain possession of one of the largest estates in seventeenth-century Wales. His tenure was not to be a quiet one, however, as the Protestant Vaughan endured a bruising legal contest with a powerful Catholic magnate over these lands. Vaughan’s case was then swept up in the politics of the civil wars. A moderate parliamentarian, during the 1640s and 1650s Vaughan fought new battles with local radicals to secure his patrimony. The trials of Edward Vaughan reveal much about the confrontational and sometimes bloody nature of law, politics and faction in early modern England and Wales. It is a rich and surprising story, and one which has yet to be told.

Thomas Pennant - Ffion Mair Jones - Bog - University of Wales Press - Plusbog.dk

Ar drothwy trichanmlwyddiant ei enedigaeth, mae'r gyfrol hon yn cyflwyno’r astudiaeth lawn gyntaf o Thomas Pennant, y naturiaethwr a'r teithiwr o Sir y Fflint, ar gyfer cynulleidfa Gymraeg ei hiaith. Er gwaethaf ei fri rhyngwladol yn ei ddydd, esgeuluswyd Pennant yn ddiweddarach gan ei gydwladwyr mewn cof niwlog fel ‘teithiwr’. Cynigir yma ddarlun mwy cymhleth sy’n cydnabod ei le fel un o feddylwyr polymathig yr Oleuedigaeth, â’i ddiddordebau’n rhychwantu byd natur, celf a hynafiaethau. Edrychir ar y Cymry allweddol a ddylanwadodd ar ei waith – o Forrisiaid Môn, sylfaenwyr Cymdeithas y Cymmrodorion, hyd at John Lloyd, rheithor rhadlon Caerwys, a’r artist Moses Griffith o Ben Llyn. Wrth bendroni sut y ciliodd Pennant o olwg ei gyd-Gymry, ystyrir argyfwng adroddiad y Llyfrau Gleision a’r wleidyddiaeth ieithyddol a ddaeth yn ei sgil, cyn ymddangosiad cyfieithiad llawn yn y Gymraeg o’r Teithiau yng Nghymru, ganrif wedi marwolaeth yr awdur.
