    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    Hywel "journeyed to Rome in 928 and is styled `king of all the Welsh.' His
    position enabled him to undertake a reform of Welsh law, for which
    posterity gratefully remembered him; the representative gathering which met
    at Whitland to receive the new code is without a parallel in the early
    annals of Wales, and the `law of Howel', amplified and re-edited by
    generation after generation of Welsh legists, became the standard of tribal
    and personal relations throughout the country. In its precision and
    subtlety, it has been held to be the greatest intellectual achievement of
    mediaeval Wales."{-Encycl.Brit.,`56,23:291-2} See extended discussion of
    him and his times in "A History of Wales," John Davies (New York: Penguin
    Books, 1993), Chapter Four.
