SWYDD Y WAUN, OR CHIEKLAND. CANTREF TREFRYD. This cantref contains three comots, viz. : 1, Croes Faen ; 2, Tref j Waun ; and 3, Croes Oswallt or Oswes try. The comots of Croes Faen and Tref y Waun appear to have both been known as simply Y Waun, and this district, and all Cantref Rhaiadr and Nant Heudwy, were united under the Mortimers into one territory called the Swydd y Waun, the Lordship of Chirk, or Chirkland. It contains the parishes of Llanfair or Y Waun Isaf (Chirk), Llangollen, and parts of the parishes of Llansantffraid Glyn Ceiriog, Llanarmon Mynydd Mawr, Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, Llanrhaiadr ym Mochnant, Llangedwin, Llansilin, Llangadwaladr, and Tref Dudlysh or Dudlyston. PARISH OF CHIRK. This parish contains the manors or townships of Chirk, Bryn Cunallt, Pen y Clawdd, Gwern Ospin, and Halch dyn or Halton. MANOR OF HALCHDYN. The manor of Halchdyn or Halton was given by Madog ab Gruffydd Maelor, Prince of Powys Fadog, to the Abbey of Valle Crucis or Llanegwestl in 1200. This manor, and certain lands belonging to it, remained in the possession of the abbey till it was dissolved in 1535, VOL. IV. 1 2 HISTORY OF POWYS FADOG. when they were seized by Henry VIII, and they re mained in the Crown till 14th James I, 161 7, when they were granted (for the sum of £75 and £40) to John Knight ; John Weddall ; William Dickenson, senior ; William Dickenson, junior ; Matthew Robinson ; and Sir Thomas Middleton, knight; and Richard Swale of Green Hamerton, in the county of York, gentleman. The following are the names of the places granted by James I to the above-mentioned persons : all the seig norial lands (" omnes terras dominicales") of the manor of Halton or Halghton, all the separate lands in Halton and Chirk of Maes y Mynydd, Y Bryn Krayth, Maes y Penylan, Erw Fadog and Glidfa, Maes Llanerch Goch, Pant y Fallt, Maes y Llwyn Gwern, Maes y Cwrt ; Ty David ab Sir John and Maredydd Trevor, £5 ; all once belonging to Valle Crucis, formerly a monastery. Fur ther particulars relative to this manor will be found among the documents of the reign of James I in this volume. CASTELL CROGEN, OR CHIRK CASTLE. The first notice I have been able to find relative to this castle is in the year 1202, at which time, when Elissau, Lord of Edeyrnion, the fourth son of Madog ab Maredydd, Prince of Powys Fadog, was deprived of his lordship for not aiding Llywelyn ab lorwerth against Gwenwynwyn, this castle and seven townships, two of which, Crogen Iddon and Crogen Wladys, close to the castle, were given him out of compassion by his nephew. Prince Llywelyn ab lorwerth. In 1281, Edward I, King of England, gave this castle and the lordship of Chirk to Roger Mortimer as before related (vol. i, p. 178) ; and, on getting possession, Roger Mortimer built the present castle, on the site of Castell Crogen as is generally supposed. The following pedigree of the Mortimers is taken from Dugdale's and Banks' Extinct Baronies. SWYDD Y WAUN, OR CHIRKLAND. rtZ or / y 4z A 1 or f flz , MORTIMERS, LORDS OP CHIRK. The first of this name that appears in history is Roger de Mortimer, the founder of the Abbey of St. Victoire in Normandy. In a.d. 1054, when Odo, brother of Henry, King of France, invaded the territory of Eureux, WUliam, Duke of Normandie, sent this Roger, then his general, with Eobert, Earl of Ewe, to resist his attempt ; who, meeting Odo near the Castle of Mortimer, gave him battle and obtained a glorious victory. This Eoger de Mortimer was related to William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, as his mother was niece of Gunnora, wife of Eichard, Duke of Normandy, great-grandmother of the Conqueror. Ealph, or Radulphus de Mortimer, son of Roger, ac companied Duke William upon his invasion of England, and was one of the chief commanders of the whole army; and shortly after this signal conquest, as the most puis sant of his captains, was sent into the Marches of Wales to encounter Edrich, Earl of Shrewsbury and Lord of Wigmore, as he would not submit to the Norman yoke. After great toil and a long siege he took the Castle of Wigmore and delivered Earl Edrich a captive into the hands of the King, who gave Roger all the Earl's lands ; whereupon he strongly fortified the Castle of Dyrecke in Maelienydd, formerly built by Earl Edrich. This Ralph conquered Elvael, and did homage to King William for it. HISTORY OF POWYS FADOG. He married, first, Milicent, daughter of Ferrers, Earl of Derby, by whom he had a son and heir, Hugh. Hugh de Mortimer refused to do homage to Henry II, on the death of King Stephen. In 1154, his castle of Cleobury was besieged, taken, and dismantled ; and on the surrender of his Castle of Bridgenorth in 1154, he made his submission to the King, and afterwards rebuilt his Castle of Cleobury. He also founded and endowed the Abbey of Wigmore, and in his old age he became a canon professed in the Abbey, and died Feb. 26th, 1181, and was buried in the Abbey of Wigmore before the high altar, leaving a son and heir, Eoger de Mortimer, Lord of Cleobury Mortimer, and Wigmore. He was engaged in constant warfare with the Welsh, and his neighbour Hugh de Say. He married Isabella, sister and heiress of Hugh de Ferrars, son of Walkeline de Ferrars, Lord of Ferriferes in Normandy, Lord of Okeham in Eutland, and of Lechlade and Laye- bury in Gloucestershire. Isabella founded the nunnery of Lechlade, and was there buried. Roger died 8 of the Kalends of July 1215, and was succeeded by his son and heir, Hugh de Mortimer, who, having been wounded in a tournament, died without issue, 4 Ides Nov. 1227, and was succeeded by his brother, Ralph de Mortimer, Lord of Wigmore, who fought successfully against Llywelyn ab lorwerth, Prince of Wales, and built the Castles of Cefn y Llys and Cnwclas in Maelienydd. He married Gwladys Ddu, relict of Reginald de Braose, Lord of Brecknock, and daughter of Llywelyn, Prince of Wales, who gave her, as her dower, all his lands in Ceri and Cydewain, and all the castles and forts in both lordships. Ealph de Mortimer, Lord of Wigmore, died 8 of the Ides of August 1246 (30th Henry III), and was buried with his ancestors in the Abbey of Wigmore, leaving issue, four sons — 1, Roger, his successor, a minor at the time of his father's death; 2, Peter; 3, John, a grey friar at Shrewsbury ; and 4, Hugh. SWYDD Y WAUN, OR CHIRKLAND. 5 Eoger de Mortimer, Lord of Wigmore, the eldest son, married Maude, the eldest daughter and co-heiress of William de Braose, Lord of Brecknock, with whom he had the Lordship of Eadnor, and other fair possessions in England and Wales. This Eoger was with the king in Normandy, and there fore had a special discharge of the scutage, then levied, by reason of that expedition. About this time, Ehys, Prince of South Wales, having raised an army, and taken the town of Caermardden, as also the Castles of Caermardden and Colynwy or Clun, likewise besieged Radnor. This Roger came with Hugh de Say, Lord of Richard's Castle, for the relief of that place, but was beaten with great loss, as my author re- porteth. In 16 John, 1215, he was acquitted of the scutage, then levied for the expedition into Poictou ; his son being then in that service. About this time, Hywel, son of Cadwallawn, and Madog, son of Maelgron, pretending that they had a right to the territory of Maelienydd in fee farm, for a great sum of money procured a trial at law for the same, by twelve knights of the counties of Hereford and Salop, but upon full hearing of the cause at Shrewsbury, the right was adjudged to this Roger. ^ Having had many skirmishes with the Welsh, and most valiantly opposing their frequent incursions, he took twelve of their principal leaders in one battle. He was appointed captain of the king's army and for tifications in the parts of Shrewsbury, so as to annoy Llywelyn, Prince of Wales, as much as he could. Wor cester, 7 July 1277. {Rot. Pat., 5 Edw. I, m. 9.) He also enlarged his territories, and drove away thieves and robbers from those parts ; and, being once present at the solemn anniversary of his father, he confirmed all his grants to the Canons of Wigmore, adding, of his own gift, a spacious and fruitful pasture, lying near to that Abbey, called the Treasure of Mortimer. Whereupon, 1 See vol. ii, p. 300. Lords of Geri, and Madien^ydd. 6 HISTORY OF POWYS FADOG. his steward blaming him, that he should dispossess him self of a field so rich and fertile, and for that reason called the Treasure of Mortimer, he replied, " I have laid up my treasure in that field where thieves cannot steal or dig, or moth corrupt." This Roger died at Shenstone, on the eve of the Feast of SS. Simon and Jude (1282), 10 Edw. I, and was buried in the Abbey of Wigmore, with this epitaph : — " Hic est sepultus qui mansit laude refultus, Rogerus Mundus, de Morte Marina secundus : Oui fuerat gratus, Dominus Wigmoraa vocitatus. Hunc dum viveratj vi Wallia tota timebat, Et sibi donata permansit Wallia tota. Militiam scivit, semper torta subivit." He had issue five sons— 1, Sir Ralph, who died in his father's lifetime ; 2, Edmund, Lord Mortimer of Wig more, his successor, father of Roger Mortimer, who, 2nd Edw. Ill, was made Justiciary of Wales, and Earl of March ; 3, Roger, Lord Mortimer of Chirk (see vol. i, p. 178).; 4, Sir William ; and 5, Sir Geoffroi, w^ho died in' his father's lifetime. Eoger, the third son of Roger, Lord Mortimer, was summoned to Parliament among the Barons, from the second to the fourteenth of Edward I. Having got pos session of Chirk, as before stated (see vol. i, p. 178), he built the Castle ; and, in 21st Edw. I (1293), he was in that expedition that the king made into France, at which time, divers towns and places of strength yielding to the English army, he was made Governor of Burgh super Mare, anciently called Mont Alban. In 22nd Edw. I, he had summons, amongst others, to attend the king at Portsmouth, upon 1st Sept., well fur nished with horse and arms, and thence sailed with him into Gascoigne ; in consideration of which service, he had, the year following, an exemption, for himself and his tenants, from paying any part of the tenths then granted to the King in Parliament. In 25th Edw. I (1297), he was again in the wars of Gascoigne ; and, in the 28th Edw. I, in the Scottish wars. SWYDD Y WAUN, OR CHIRKLAND. 7 So, likewise, in the 29th, being then in the retinue of Edward, Prince of Wales. In 31st Edw. I (1303), he was again in Scotland ; and, in 1st Edw. II (1307), constituted the King's Lieu tenant of Wales, having all the castles therein com mitted to his trust, and then also made Justiciary of all Wales. In 2nd Edw. II (1308), he was made Governor of the Castle of Beaumaris in Anglesey ; and, in 4th Edw. II (1310), Governor of the Castles of Blaen Llyfeni and Dinas, being the same year also in the wars in Scotland ; and in 5th Edw. II, had the inheritance of the Castles of Blaen Llyfeni and Dinas given to him by the King, to hold for the third part of a Barony, by the service of two knights' fees. In 7th Edw. II (1314), he was again in Scotland, and the same year obtained a charter for a market every week, upon Monday, at his Lordship of Old Whiteland in Wales ; and a fair on the eve, day, and morrow after the Feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. In 10th Edw. II (1317), he was constituted Justiciary of North Wales, and in the same year went again to the wars in Scotland. In 11th Edw. II, he was charged with the finding of 100 men, out of his Lordships of Blaen Llyfeni and Talgarth ; and of 200 more, out of his terri tories of Llandedu, for the wars of Scotland. In 12th Edw. II (1319), he was again in those wars, and had an assignation of £100, in recompense of his services there, in which year also he was constituted Go vernor of Buallt Castle in Wales. In 16th Edw. Ill (1329), being one of those lords who gave sentence of banishment against the two Spencers, in , the Parliament then held, by their power and potency at that time, he soon felt that the active part he took in that quarrel would be the occasion of his ruin ; for the King getting strength, forced his opposers to stoop. Where upon this Eoger, with his nephew, the Lord Mortimer of Wigmore, submitting themselves, were imprisoned in the 8 HISTORY OF POWYS FADOG. Tower of London, where it is said by some that this Roger died.i It is said by others,^ of this Roger, partly by reason that his Manor of Chirk was annexed to the Lordship of the Earl of Arundel, and partly by means of his adver saries, being cast into the Tower of London, he there continued for the space of full four years and a half, where, without ever being heard, he died 3rd August 1337 (10th Edw. Ill), and that thence his corpse, being brought to Wigmore, was there buried in the Abbey by Adam, Bishop of Hereford, upon the day after the Exal tation of the Holy Cross. ^ This Roger Mortimer gave lands in the townships of Gwern Osbern and Pen y Clawdd in the Lordship of Chirk, to lorwerth Foel ab lorwerth Fychan ab lorwerth Hen, of the Tribe of Nantheudwy, on payment of a rent of £20 sterling per annum. The witnesses of this grant were : — leuaf ab Adda, Lord of Trefor ; Llewelyn, his son ;. Owain ab Gruffydd Foel ; Sir Hwfa, his brother ; Llewelyn ab Cynwrig ab Osbern ; Madog ab Cynwrig Foel. Attached to the deed is the seal of Roger Mortimer, with this circumscription : "Sigillum Rogeri de Mortui Mare."* (See vol. i, p. 313.)

The Castle and Lordship of Chirk remained in the possession of descendants of the said Eichard Fitz- Alan, Earl of Arundel, tiU the death of John Mowbray, fourth Duke of Norfolk, Lord of Chirk and the moiety of Bromfield and 141, 15th Edw. IV (1476), when the Lordships of Bromfield, Chirk, and 141, and the Castles of Dinas Bran, Holt, and Chirk reverted to the Crown. (See vol. i, p. 389.) In 1483, the Castle of Dinas Bran, and the Lordship of Bromfield, were granted to Sir William Stanley, Knt., by King Eichard III, who was slain in 1485. In 1490, Henry VII, in the fifth year of his reign, gave all the above-mentioned Lordships of Bromfield, Chirk, and 141, and the Castles of Dinas Bran, Holt, and Chirk to Sir William Stanley, Knt., as before re lated. Sir William thoroughly repaired Chirk Castle, which, with the other Castles and Lordships, were taken possession of by the King on the execution of Sir William, for his attempting to place Perkin Warbeck on the throne. The Castle and Lordship were subsequently granted by Queen Elizabeth to her favourite, Eobert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, from whom they came to Lord St. John of Bletsoe, who, in 1595, sold them and Castle Dinas Bran to Sir Thomas Myddleton, in whose family they still continue. 10 HISTORY OF POWYS FADOG.

At any rate, we know that the ancestors of the present nobility and gentry of Bri tish descent had not arrived in Powys-land before 448. Eor Vortigern, the common ancestor of the kings and princes of Powys, and the tribe of Tudor Trevor, died in that year, and his descendant, Cadell Deyrnllwg, from whom both lines descend, did not become King of Powys till the middle of the sixth century. He came most probably from those parts of Lloegr now known as the counties of Gloucester, Hereford, and Wilts. The royal tribe of Elystan Glodrudd only conquered the country between the Wye and the Severn in the tenth century. This tribe also are said to have come origin ally from Gloucestershire. Both Cadell Deyrnllwg and Elystan Glodrudd appear to have been driven from their original settlements by the conquests of the Eng lish, and then to have marched to the north-west, and conquered the original inhabitants. I therefore think that it is very improbable that the princes of Gwynedd could have had any power whatever before the Roman legions left Britain ; or that Cunedda Wledig, who came from Scotland or Cumberland, could have conquered the Gwyddelod, the ancient inhabitants of Gwynedd, and all Powys-land and Maelienydd, and imposed the names of his sons on the various districts. Our historians affirm that he did so as early as the year 330, at which time Constantine, the first of the emperors who became a Christian, was reigning, having succeeded the Emperor Diocletian in 305. Cunedda flourished circa 530. Collwyn ab Moreiddig, married daughter and coheir of Gwrgeneu ab Ednowain ab Ithel, Lord of the CHIRK CASTLE. 45 Bryn, Pennant Melangell, and the eleven towns in the Lordship of Oswestry (who bore argent, three greyhounds courant in pale sable, collared of the field ; but accord ing to others, he bore argent, three wolves passant sahle, collared of the field), by whom he had issue, a son, Gwrgeneu ab Collwyn, Lord of Penllyn, the Bryn, Pennant Melangell, etc. He married Generis, daughter and coheiress of Cynfyn Hirdref, Lord of Nevin,^ in the comot of Dinlleyn and cantref of Lleyn, and Haer his wife, daughter and heiress of Cynillon ab y Blaidd Rhudd, Lord of Gest, in the comot of Eivionydd and cantref of Dunodig, who bore azure, a wolf passant argent, his head and neck gules. Haer married secondly Bleddyn ab Cynfyn, Prince of Powys from 1062 to 1072. Gwrgeneu obtained the Lordship of Penllyn from his wife's half-brother, Maredydd ab Bleddyn, Prince of Powys. By his wife Generis, he had issue three sons: 1, Rhirid Flaidd; 2, Arthen; and 3, Gwrgeneu Fychan. Rhirid Flaidd, Lord of Penllyn, Pennant Melangell, in the Lordship of Mechain Is y Coed, Glyn, and the eleven towns in the cantref of Trefryd, in Powys-land, and of Gest in Eivionydd, in Gwynedd. He bore vert, a chevron inter three wolfs heads erased argent, langued gules, and he resided at a place called Neuaddau Gleision, in the township of Rhiwaedog, in the time of Madog ab Maredydd, who reigned over Powys Fadog from 1133 to 1159. Ehirid Flaidd married Gwenllian, daughter of Ednyfed ab Cynwrig, ab Ehiwallawn, Lord of Brochdyn or Broughton, in the manor of y Glewysegl, in the Lordship of Mailor Gymraeg {ermine, a lion statant gardant gules, armed and langued azure, for Ednyfed ab 1 Nevyn is a small town on the Irish Sea. Here Edward I, in 1284, held his triumph on the conquest of Wales, and, perhaps to conciliate the affections of his new subjects, in imitation of the hero Arthur, held a Eound Table, and celebrated it with dance and tourna ment. The concourse was prodigious, for not only the chief nobility of England, but numbers from foreign parts, graced the festival with their presence. 46 HISTORY OF POWYS FADOG. Cynwrig), by whom he had issue : 1, Madog, of whom presently ; 2, Einion ab Rhirid. Einion ab Ehirid was slain by an arrow at the siege of the Castle of Din-serth or Diserth, in Tegeingl, at a place since called Bryn Einion, in 1261. The cross which was erected on the spot where he fell, has been removed from its original site to the churchyard at Diserth. It has the same sort of interlaced ornamenta tion as Maen Achwynfan, which is not far from this place. According to Gruffydd Hiraddug, it once bore the following inscription : — " Oc si petatur, lapis yste kansa notatur Einion oxi' Eirid Flaidd filius hoc memoratur." His son, Einion Greulon, was Lord of Crugaeth, in the lordship of Croes Oswald, Rhiridd Flaidd had also, among others, a daughter named Gwenllian, who married Gruffydd of Henglawdd, son of Ednyfed Fychan, Lord of Bryn Ffanigl, by whom she was mother of Str Howel y Pedolau,^ who was knighted by Edward II, to whom he was foster-brother, and was noted for his great strength.
