Translation please...but not the entire book :-)

Borre da again, or good evening as the case may be

Found an IGI member submission for a branch of my lot in Dolwyddelan and trying to source it. One of the characters is a Gwen ach Rhisiart, who according to the submission lived to be 109 years old. Naturally I'm a little skeptical, although with clean living and all that.......

So googling the name, I came across this. Unfortunately it's in Welsh, and although I did learn a couple of rude words during my stays in Dolwyddelan, they aren't much help

I'd be grateful if someone could tell me what it says about Gwen:

Not sure your link is working - all I;m getting is an amazon page for a book, with table of  contents, but nothing more than that to translate and it makes no reference to Gwen ach Rhisiart (possibly Gwen erch Rhisiart- Gwen daughter of Richard)

Good evening,

Gwethiau Gethin is a welsh name. The line after it reads "namely Casgliciel of all literary and poetical works".

I'm not sure what the Casgliciel is but doesn't appear to have an English translation.

Hmmmm...I tried the link and it gave me the correct page.

Never mind, I think I have Gwen figured out now. She wasn't 109 years old...I found her actual burial date and she was 90.

Not bad for the hard life she must have had.

Cheers,
China
