The "Annales de Margan" presents a translated and organized version of historical records from Margam Abbey, covering the years 1066 to 1231. This compilation primarily focuses on significant events in England and Wales, while also addressing some international affairs. Christopher Smith, the translator, made the Latin text user-friendly by structuring it into chapters by regnal years and including both Latin and English translations for context. This work is essential for scholars studying the medieval history and monastic practices of the region, highlighting its relevance in English and Welsh historical discourse.
"This translation of the Annals of Margam not only preserves the original Latin text but organizes it by regnal years, making it more accessible for readers and historians alike."
"Covering the years from 1066 to 1231, these annals serve as a crucial source for understanding the intertwined histories of Wales and England during a transformative period in medieval history."
