One episode in the history of this family may be mentioned the battle in the Vale of Towy in 1136, when Gwenllian, the heroic wife of Rhys ap Gruffydd, led her husband's forces against Maurice and De Londres, and was defeated and slain by the Lord of Kidweli.

This work refers to a later period than that included in this chapter, but the summaries which the author gives of earlier conditions are in many cases the best accounts that we have. Ashley, W. J.: Early History of the Woolen Industry in England. Pauli, R.: Pictures from Old England. Contains an interesting account of the Steelyard. Pirenne, Henri: La Hanse flamande de Londres.
"But, this is growing tedious, Harry, I must get over the ground faster; two months passed over at Paris, during which we continued to live at the 'Londres, giving dinners, soirees, dejeuners, with the prettiest equipage in the 'Champs Elysees, we were quite the mode; my wife, which is rare enough for an Englishwoman, knew how to dress herself.
Other distinguished men were also presented to us; among these was Mr. Sismondi, author of the "History of the Italian Republics." Madame Sismondi was a Miss Allen, of a family with whom we were very intimate. LONDRES, 5 Juin, 1819.

And you will visit my establishment?" He raised an emphatic forefinger. "But surely!" Emma McChesney regarded him solemnly. "I promise to do that. You may rely on me."
A prisoner in a stuffy bedroom of the Hôtel de Londres, I sat at the window most of the day, consuming innumerable glasses of tea and cigarettes, watching the steadily falling snow, and wondering whether the weather would ever clear and allow me to escape from a place so full of unpleasant associations, and which had brought me so much disappointment and vexation.
There were plenty of people in the great houses capable of appreciating the merits of Handel, or at any rate of constituting themselves his enemies.
