Notes: The "Ystorya," a legendary history of Charlemagne in Welsh, was compiled from Turpin's Latin chronicle, Otinel, and Chanson de Roland. It was intended to add to this publication a translation, notes, and glossarial index, but this remained for many years unfulfilled. In 1907, as the result of a competition for the best translation of the Ystorya into English, the "History of Charelmagne, a translation ... by Robert Williams" was published, forming v. 20 of "Y Cymmrodor. The magazine of the Honourable society of cymmrodorion." cf. the translation, p. [v]-vi, 37.
