Adam Murimuth's Continuation and Robert of Avesbury’s 'The Wonderful Deeds of King Edward III'
This volume brings together two of the most important contemporary chronicles for the reign of Edward III and the opening phases of the Hundred Years’ War. Written in Latin by English clerical observers, these texts provide a vivid and authoritative window into the political, diplomatic, and military history of fourteenth-century England and its continental ambitions. Adam Murimuth Continuatio's Chronicarum continues an earlier chronicle into the mid-fourteenth century, offering concise but valuable notices on royal policy, foreign relations, and ecclesiastical affairs. Its annalistic structure makes it especially useful for establishing chronology and tracing the development of events year by year. Complementing it, Robert of Avesbury’s De gestis mirabilibus regis Edwardi tertii is a rich documentary chronicle preserving letters, treaties, and official records alongside narrative passages. It is an indispensable source for understanding Edward III’s claim to the French crown, the conduct of war, and the mechanisms of medieval diplomacy. Together, these works offer scholars, students, and enthusiasts a reliable and unembellished account of a transformative period in English and European history. Essential for anyone interested in medieval chronicles, the Hundred Years’ War, or the reign of Edward III.

David Thomas mentions a cromlech at this place (Cambr. Reg., vol. ii. p. 989), the same probably that is given in Mr. Longueville Jones' list of British remains, and described as "thrown down, on a hill near a farm called Bryn-y-felin, half a mile S.E, of Llanfair-Mathafern church." Arch. Cambr., third series, vol. i. p. 25. Angharad Llwyd also notices a cromlech at Manan Pant-y-Saer (part of Rhos Yawr), and observes that " formerly there was one at Llech-tal-y-Μδη, but that is now destroyed." Hist. Anglesey, p. 253.

Archaeologia Cambrensis 1933 Pages 185-228. The Chambered Tomb Of Pant-Y-Saer [Map], Anglesey. By W. Lindsay Scott, F.S.A.Scot.
The chambered tomb of Pant-y-saer stands in latitude 530 18' 3" N., longitude 40 14' 15" W., on the outskirts Of the village Of Tvnygongl and about a mile distant from the northern end of Red Wharf Bay. This sandy bay on the east coast of Anglesey provides good shelter in westerly winds: and in such conditions is a safe place for hauling up boats. The lower land around it is reasonably fertile and the situation is not unattractive for settlement and distinctly advantageous for sea-raiders seeking a base for operations on the north coast of Wales.
