Ynystawe history

---

Tomos was a learned man who commissioned the compilation of the Llyfr Coch (Red Book), which brought together most of the great Welsh literature of the time into a single volume. This included Cymric (Welsh) prose and poetry as well as the so-called Mabinogion tales. Tomos considered to possess prophetic powers and was called to the court at Carmarthen by Owain Glyndŵr in 1403 to predict the outcome of the coming conflict between the Welsh and English.
