Place Name ?
by Patricia Williams Imani
Hello,
Is there anyone on the list, who is more familiar with the language and
time, that knows of a place name that -sounds like- "Ribour" in
Glamorgan in and around 1380. It may be a manor (likely) The closest I
can come is Radur, but it seems like a leap. I am trying to place my
ancestor Hywel ap Madog. The notes I have place him in different areas
of Glamorgan, yet his position is associated with "Ribour."
The spelling "Ribour" is likely from a poor transcription, as it comes
from a chronicle written in a different culture at a later time.
Also, does anyone know of a site on the Web that shows the changing maps
of Wales, I am especially interested in locating more detailed maps,
especially showing the southern region from 1200 - 1450.
Much thanks.
Patricia
