Scope and content
Pedigree and achievement, 1598, of John Price [or Pryse] of Gogerddan, Cardiganshire, with fifteen coats of arms, all emblazoned and painted, compiled by Thomas Jones of Fountain Gate, Tregaron, Cardiganshire.
The pedigree consists of the achievement of arms in the centre and the arms of Price's male ancestors arranged around the border, and is an example of 'Style 5' in Michael Powell Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996), p. 12. The pedigree is traced from the tenth-century 'Klothian ap Gwydhere' [Cloddien ap Gwrydr Hir] and his wife Morfudd, daughter of Owain ap Tythwalch. Although ascribed to Jones, the pedigree was written by one of a number of scribes employed by him (see Michael Powell Siddons, 'Welsh Pedigree Rolls - Additions and Corrections', National Library of Wales Journal, 32 (2001-2), 433-42 (pp. 433-4), and Daniel Huws, 'Twm Siôn Cati', Carmarthenshire Antiquary, 45 (2009), 39-45 (pp. 40-41, 45)).
