Raglan Library
Raglan Library was a library located in Raglan Castle in the county of Monmouthshire in south east Wales.[1][2][3][4]
The library contained one of the most extensive collections of ancient Welsh manuscripts in history.[5] This included works by Dafydd ap Gwilym,[6] Taliesin, Rhys Goch, Jonas of Menevia, Ederyn the Golden-tongued, Einion the Priest, Cwtta Cyvarwydd, Sion Cent and Dafydd Ddu o Hiraddug amongst others.[7]
It was destroyed and looted by parliamentarian forces under Oliver Cromwell in August 1646, during the English civil war.[8][9] The destruction of Raglan Library was described as an "irrepairable [sic] loss to the literature of Wales".[10]
