Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1789 edition. Excerpt: .which Llewellin, the last prince of Wales, was put to death. Some historians say, he was killed in battle; but the traditional account of his being killed near Bualt seems more probable; and that he fell by the hands of an assassin. When Edward invaded Wales, we are informed, that Llewellin had intrenched himself in the fastnesses of Snowdon. Kere he might probably have foiled his adversary: but some of his troops having been successful against the earl of Surrey, one of Edward s generals, Llewellin came down from his strong holds, with the hope of improving his advantage, and offered Edward battle. Llewellin was totally routed-, and tradition fays that in his flight into Glamorganshire, he slept the night before he was murdered, at Llechryd, which is now a farmhouse. Here the farrier, who shod his horse, knew him under his disguise; and betrayed him to the people of Bualt, who put him to death; and are to this day stigmatized with the the name of Brad wyr y Bualht, or the traitors of Bualt. At Bualt you cross the Wye again, and now pursue your rout along the north side of the river. The same grand scenery continues--lofty banks--woody vales--a rocky channel, and a rapid stream winding through it. Soon after you come to the sulphureous springs of Llanydrindod, which you leave on the right; and crossing the river Ithon, you reach Rhaader; a town about thirteen miles beyond Bualt.--To a Welshman the appearance of the Wye at Rhaader, need not to be described. The word signifies a waterfall. There is no cascade indeed of consequence near the place; but.the river being pent up within close rocky banks, and the channel being steep, the whole is a succession of water-falls. As As you leave Rhaader, you begin to approach the sources of the Wye.
