  A Legend Of Merionethshire
A few years ago was to be seen on the road-side near Nannau, in Merionethshire, the seat of Sir R. Vaughan, Bart., M.P., a large hollow oak, known by the name of the " Spirit's Blasted Tree " (Ceubren yr Ellyll).
The event which gave rise to so ghostly an appellation, is preserved by tradition among the mountain peasants in this part of Merionethshire, and founded on a deadly feud that subsisted between the celebrated " wild, irregular Glyndwr,"* and his kinsman Howel Sele, then resident at Nannau.
When Owen took up arms against the English, his cousin Howel, who possessed great influence in the country where he lived, declined to embrace a cause which, though perhaps laudable, and somewhat conformable to the rude spirit of the times, he foresaw would be unsuccessful, and bring down upon his country increased rigour and oppression.
