Acknowledgments
I would like to thank all of those who have helped to make this book possible. In particular, the help and guidance of Professor Seth Kunin was invaluable. During the first two years of this work, Dr. Kaarina Hollo was kind enough to help oversee the development of the research. Professor Colm O’Boyle has always been ready with advice and has been kind enough to look over this typescript: of course, any errors are entirely my own. Dr. Simon Rodway has been kind enough to help with the dating of certain texts and with checking my translations of particularly complex passages of Middle Welsh. The aid of Dr. Iwan Wmffre in this area has also been much appreciated. For the help he gave with the process of translating sections of Latin and Norman French, I am indebted to the expertise of the late Morton Gould. I would like to thank my friends and family, who have been a great support throughout, especially my wife Sukanya, whose loving support is my awen. The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) provided funding for the PhD thesis that this work is based upon, and Tallinn University has provided a nurturing environment in which to transform the text into a publishable work.
