Laid down inside the upper cover is a note in the hand of Wiliam Llŷn of two dreams, dated 1575 [printed in RMWL and in T.H.

Folios 108-11, original fly-leaves, are blank except for some Welsh text on f. 108 (reused paper). Notes in the hand of Robert Vaughan are on ff. i, 33 and 61. Perhaps Old Hengwrt Catalogue A, s.n. 'Y.1.2.14'. On f. iii, the signature of H. Vaughan, [17-18 cent.]. Parchment (ff. 7-23) and paper.

Scope and content
A pedigree in roundlets, evidently copied from a roll, from Beli Mawr to Cynan ab Iago of Gwynedd, Tewdwr ab Einion of Deheubarth and Bleddyn ap Cynfyn of Powys (ff. 13-23 verso); an armorial in Welsh, of Pum Brenhinllwyth Cymru and other Welsh arms, painted, two to the page (ff. 24-80). All in the hand of Wiliam Llŷn. Above many of the arms in the armorial the name is written in pencil by a contemporary hand, not that of Wiliam Llŷn. On ff. 81 verso-86 verso are additions in the hand of Siôn Cain. Folios 1-12 verso and 87-102 are blank. The index on ff. 103-106 verso is in the hand of Robert Vaughan.
