Peter Bartrum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Clement Bartrum (born 1907 in Hampstead, London, England), is a researcher and genealogist who has specialised in the genealogy of the Welsh nobility of the Middle Ages since the 1930s.

Educated at Queen's College, Oxford, he began his career as a meteorologist. Although an Englishman by birth, he developed a lifelong interest in the history and genealogy of the royal families and nobility of mediaeval Wales. He learned to read the Welsh language and went on to publish a compendious series of volumes containing the edited texts of medieval Welsh genealogical tracts and his own detailed reconstructions of family lines. His work is now an essential resource for any serious student of early and medieval Welsh history.
