The historj of the Gorsedd of the Bards is closely boundup with the history of Glamorgan. Early in the historyol the winning of the district by the .Anglo-Normans, oneof the earls of Gloucester, as lord of Glamorgan, took theinstitution under his protection and patronage, and itbecame known as Gorsedd Tir larll, Gorsedd of theliarls Land, and the district, comprising the parishes ofLlangynwyd, Bettws, and Margam, is still called after thetitle of the noble patron of the bards. From about themiddle of the twelfth century, the history of the institu-tion, as well as the succession of presiding bards, is asclear as one might expect to find the history of a largelysecret society to be. What history is recorded in bardicwritings of the institution before that date represents it as.\rthurs Round Table, moved from place to place with. the seat of government, from Caerleon-upon-Usk toLoughor, back to Cardiff, its wanderings having been con-fined within the boundaries of the diocese of Llandaff,until finally it found a resting-place in the Earls is little reason to doubt the substantial truth of suchrecords, and it is something to note that .Arthurs RoundTable, by name, has been all along regarded as the livinginstitution known as Gorsedd of the Bards of the Isle ofBritain.

One of these bards, Morien,known also as Gwyddon Tir larll, was present at the re-awakening, in bardic parlance, of Arthurs RoundTable on June 22, 1910, when a temple-observatory, whichI had the honour of erecting at Maesteg, in the parish ofLlangynwyd, the centre of the Earls Land, was dulyopened by the Arcbdruid of Wales, assisted by officers
