Name of traveller
Hubert Lampo (1920-2006)
Reason for travel
- research in the National Library of Wales about the Madoc legend
Date of travel
September 1972
De Madoc-affaire, zoals ik ze toevallig ook zelf noem, is waarachtig een wonderlijke historie. Ik ben naar Wales gegaan om daar te zoeken. Ik heb kilo's fotocopieën meegebracht uit de National Librairy [sic] te Aberystwyth. In Noord-Wales is de Madoclegende even verspreid als bij ons verhalen over Genoveva van Brabant of Godelieve van Gistel. (Lampo n.p.)
