KINGS OF WALES.

Merwin,

818 Roderick II.

843

This King at his death, A. D. 877, divided Wales into three principalities, viz. North Wales, South Wales, and Powy's Land, and bequeathed them to his three sons, since which time, no King has appeared in that country. LLEWELLYN, the last Prince of Wales, was slain in battle, in the reign of Edward I. and Wales totally subdued.

KINGS OF SCOTLAND.

This monarchy was founded by Fergus the Great, who sent to his brother Mortough I. King of Ireland, for the famous stone, on which the Kings of that country were accustomed to be crowned; that he also might receive the crown upon it, A. D. 503. This stone is now in Westminster Abbey, on which the Kings of England are crowned, and was brought there by King Edward 1.
