The Chronicle of the Saxons (Welsh: Brut y Saeson) is a Welsh-language chronicle running from 683 to 1197.[1] One manuscript attributes it to Caradog of Llancarfan.[2] It appears to consist primarily of passages of the Chronicle of the Princes and the Annals of Winchester, with other minor sources as well.[3]
