Short Latin annals whose later versions are kept at St Davids and Cistercian houses. For 1200 they add little beyond the Brut, which draws on the same tradition, but they give a second and sometimes differing date for the deaths and successions among the princes of Gwynedd and Deheubarth and for events at St Davids, where Gerald of Wales's disputed election was running. Useful as a check on the Brut's chronology.

The 1860 edition conflates the three versions and is unreliable in detail; the Welsh Chronicles Research Group's editions of the B and C texts (Gough-Cooper, online) are the modern replacement but were not verified in this pass.
