Early Welsh Genealogical Tracts is the definitive scholarly collection of medieval Welsh manuscripts that are crucial to understanding early Welsh history through the lineages of royal houses, saints, and noble families from A.D. 300-1400.

Published for the first time in paperback, and revised to include his subsequent list of corrections, this second edition of Peter Bartram’s highly acclaimed work marks 60 years since the original edition and will enable his outstanding scholarship to be easily accessed by contemporary historians, researchers and students of early and medieval Welsh history.

Peter Clement Bartrum (4 December 1907 - 14 August 2008) was a researcher and genealogist who specialised in the genealogy of Welsh nobility in the Middle Ages. His eight-volume series Welsh Genealogies AD 300-1400 was published in 1974 (University of Wales Press), and his 18-volume Welsh Genealogies AD 1400-1500 was published in 1983 (National Library of Wales). In 1988 He was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Wales.
