Presumably it depends on how you define forgery - much of the early Welsh
material in eg the Book of Llan Daf is copied from generation to generation
but careful historical detective work can identify an authentic core. And
to what extent is a copy from memory in a chartulary of a document which
has been lost a forgery?
