Peter Clement Bartrum (1907 in Hampstead, London, England — 14 August 2008[1][2]), was a researcher and genealogist who, from the 1930s onwards, specialised in the genealogy of the Welsh nobility of the Middle Ages.
Educated at Queen's College, Oxford, he began his career as a meteorologist. Although an Englishman by birth, he developed a lifelong interest in the history and genealogy of the royal families and nobility of mediaeval Wales. He learned to read the Welsh language and went on to publish a compendious series of volumes containing the edited texts of medieval Welsh genealogical tracts and his own detailed reconstructions of family lines. His work is now an essential resource for any serious student of early and medieval Welsh history.
There are plans for much of his work to be made available online.[3]
