Pedigree roll drawn by Water Hopkins, and finished at Brecon, 10 Dec. 1633, showing Sir William Morgan of Tredegar's lines of descent from various great personages, including from Edward I, king of England; Alfonsus, king of Castille; Philip, king of France; Peter, king of Spain; William, earl of Henalt [Edward III's father-in-law]; Edmund of Woodstock, earl of Kent; Richard, earl of Arundel; Roger Quincy, earl of Winchester; William, earl of Ferrers; John, lord Wake; James, lord Audley; Walter Devereaux, lord Ferrers of Chartley; Ralph, lord Boteller; Robert, lord Whittney; and Thomas, lord Roch. -- The descents are padded to some extent, with some lines of descent effectively duplicating others, including those showing Sir William Morgan's descent from Edward II, Edward III and Edmund of Langley, duke of York, son, grandson and great grandson of Edward I; and from Thomas Holland and Edmund Holland, earls of Kent, the grandson and great grandson of Edmund of Woodstock, earl of Kent. -- The roll encloses three pages of notes by Octavius Morgan, including "this pedigree is a good illustration of the practice of ostentatious pedigree making which prevailed in the reigns of Elizabeth I, James I & Charles I. It probably took its use from the researches which were made in the time of Henry VII to ascertain the Tewdwr descent, and was revived again in the time of Edward VI when a great stir was made to draw out the Herbert pedigree on the creation of the second Earl of Pembroke ..."

Pedigree roll of the Morgan family of Ystradfellte, Dderw and Tredegar. The pedigree begins with Maymark, lord of Brecknock, Gwrgan, prince of Glamorgan, Rees ap Theodor, king of south Wales, Griffith ap Conan, king of north Wales, and king William the conqueror, and continues to William Morgan of Dderw, and Blanche his wife, the daughter of Sir William Morgan of Tredegar. Each person has a painted heraldic shield. Several of the males in the final generations include the date '1633', suggesting that they were alive at the time the pedigree was prepared. These include William Morgan of Dderw, esq., his father Morgan Llywelyn of Ystradfellte and his father-in-law Sir William Morgan of Tredegar, and Sir William's son William Morgan of Machen, as well as the more distantly related Sir Harry Williams, Harry Williams, esq., his son, and Thomas Price, esq. There are a very few later annotations, one dated 1843, which appear to be in the hand of Octavius Morgan.

The file comprises a display of the arms of Sir William Morgan of Tredegar (c.1560-1653), "nowe liveinge", and his ancestors as far back as Cadifor Fawr and 'Bellyr'. The roll is worn and barely legible in places.

An imperfect quarto manuscript inscribed in gilt on the spine 'Llyfr Du Pantlliwydd'; the name is probably derived from the colour of the previous binding (see binding note) and from the fact that sometime in the second half of the eighteenth century the volume formed part of the library of Thomas Truman of Pant-y-lliwydd in the parish of Llansanwyr, Glamorgan (see TLLM, tt. 216-17, 220, 315-18).
