The Chronicle of the Princes, or Brut y Tywysogion in Welsh, is an
annalistic chronicle of the history of the rulers of medieval Wales. It
can be considered a continuation of The History of the Kings of Britain,
or Historia regum Britanniae by Geoffrey of Monmouth, which ends in the
year 682. The Chronicle of the Princes begins in 682 and ends in 1282.

Ithel, as originally published in 1860 by Longman, Green, Longman and
