The majority of the poems are drafts by, and in the respective hands of, the herald bards Rhys Cain and his son Sion Cain of Oswestry, the former being represented by twenty-seven poems of which some are dated between 1582 and 1612 and the latter by twenty poems of which some are dated between 1609 and 1634.

About three-fourths of the poems are hitherto unrecorded.
