LONDON: ISSUED BY THE HONOURABLE SOCIETY OF CYMMRODORION, 64,, CHANCERY LANE. 1 90S. DEVIZES : PRINTED BY G. SIMPSON, "GAZETTE" OFFICE. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. The present part of the "Catalogue ofthe Manuscripts relating to Wales in the British Museum" is confined to the collections of documents which have to be applied for under the term "Charters" or "Rolls", very few being "charters" in the strict sense of the word. This class of manuscripts has been almost entirely neglected by writers of Welsh history, though, for the purpose of the historian, the bald facts of a conveyance or bond may be of at least equal importance with the more imaginative narrative of a chronicle. With the exception of most of the deeds relating to Glamorgan shire, which have been dealt with by the late Mr. G. T. Clark for his Carta et Munimenta de Glamorgan, and a few Pembrokeshire documents printed in vol. xii of the British Archaeological Associa tion's Journal by the late Mr. E. J. L. Scott, Keeper of the Manu scripts at the British Museum, scarcely more than a score of the remainder described herein have been noticed by historical students. The documents comprise every variety of legal or semi-legal instrument, and vary widely in relative value ; but it may be con fidently asserted that there is not one that does not in some respect or other advance our knowledge of the past of our country and its people. A few that in intrinsic importance stand out above their fellows may be enumerated. Additional Charter 26727 is a valu able document relating to the little-known abbey of Cwmhir, dating back to the earliest establishment of that monastic house; Additional Charter 7198, here printed at length, gives a most welcome account of the condition of the royal castles in Wales not many years after their construction ; a number of deeds (Harley Charters 111 B 17-45) relating to lands in county Brecon, collected by Hugh Thomas the genealogist, and a fragmentary series of the court rolls of the lordship of Brecon (Addit. Charters 24452-70) vi Introductory Note. appear to have been unknown to the historian of that county, and — with far less excuse — to the editor of the recent reprint of Theophilus Jones's Brecknockshire ; a few early grants (Cotton Charter xxyii 124, Campbell Charter ¥ 5, Addit. Charter 20405; by members of the great Norman family of Baderon throw a little light upon the subjugation of south-east Wales, which is increased by the documents chronicling the disputes between the abbey of Dore and its benefactors, the Cliffords ; what seems to be the earliest sur viving record of the proceedings of the Court of Arches furnishes, in Addit. Charter 53706, an interesting but unfortunately incom plete account of a dispute respecting the presentation to the church of Llanymynach. Two series of deeds, the one relating to lands along the Herefordshire border (Addit. Charters 1308-69, 1838-1971), the other to lands along the Shropshire border (Addit. Charters 41194-295, 41402-12), have been included because, though they date in each case later than the period when those districts could be geographically regarded as being in Wales, the names they record, both of places and of persons, furnish evidence of the racial con dition of the border land that we shall look for elsewhere in vain. The greater number of the documents here described may possibly be regarded by some as of little value, being in the main nothing more than conveyances of small plots of land from A to B, or bonds for the repayment of small sums from C to D. But there is a point of view from which these humble and too often despised documentary trifles will be recognised as of great importance to the local historian. And here a word may be permitted of the manner in which they (and, indeed, every document with a few exceptions hereafter explained) have been treated. The order in which the documents are preserved at the British Museum, which is not that of date but of acquisition by the Museum authorities, has been followed as being on the whole the most convenient, and a document of the thirteenth century is therefore frequently suc ceeded by one of the sixteenth, and a papal bull by a mortgage deed. If the document is of importance, and its length does not render its production in extenso impossible, it is transcribed in its entirety ; but where they are of extreme length or of a legal character and strictly local or personal bearing, nothing more than a brief ab stract has been given. Every proper name, both of persons and places, in every document (with the specified exceptions) has been Introductory Note. vii recorded. These, for the most part, constitute the only points of value to the modern student in such minor instruments, though it is impossible to underrate the importance of the least of these particulars to the genealogist and local historian. Apart, therefore, from errors of transcription, which I cannot expect to have escaped altogether, students have every essential fact of the documents which they may desire to consult. In the few cases where they are too long to produce in their entirety, such as Addit. Charters 7199, 26595-7, and 44706, which are long and valuable rolls of accounts, and it has been impossible to extract all the proper names they contain, full abstracts of the documents will appear as separate papers in future parts of Y Cymmrodor, so that ultimately all the material will be available. To some of the articles I have appended a few remarks that I hope will prove of use. In one or two instances these have ex tended to an inordinate length ; the explanation of which is that students of Welsh history have no special literary vehicle of regular and tolerably frequent appearance, such as a minor English Historical Review, where such notes would find an appropriate place.

Fiat for the issue of a brief under the privy seal directing the commissioners of the princess [Mary] in the marches of Wales to attach Sir Richard Herbert, knight, receiver of the lordship of Montgomery, Kerry and Kidewen [Kedewen] in South Wales [rede North Wales], to attend at the privy council chamber before the surveyors- general ofthe crown lands, [c. 1521.] Latin. The document is undated, but is fixed approximately by the following circumstances. On the 12th June 1517 a privy seal warrant was issued for the payment of an annuity of 10 marks out of the revenues of the lordship of Montgomery, Kerry and Kydyowyn, parcel of the earldom of March, to Thomas Starkye of Wrenbury, co. Cheshire, a former patent of the 6th Feb. 4 Hen. VII having lapsed under the statute for the resumption of such pensions (Letters and Papers, Foreign and Domestic, Henry VIII, ii, No. 3353). For some unknown reason the pension was not paid, and Starkye petitioned, alleging that for his services king Henry VII "at his first entry into this his realm" granted him such annuity, which, however, with arrears amounting to £21 13J. 4d., Sir Richard Herbert, tbe receiver of the lordship, refused to pay. In a second petition (ib., No. 3354, undated) Starkye prays that Sir Richard, not having appeared to the former citation, may be served with a privy seal order to attend, on pain of his allegiance. The arrears due to Starkye represent between three and four years' pension, so that his first petition dates probably from the year 1521. The appointment of Sir Richard to the receivership of the Montgomery lordships is not on record, but it would appear not to have been earlier than that year (Mont gomeryshire Collections, ii, 391) ; and it is probable that the deter mination of the new official to persist in the obduracy of his predecessor was the occasion for Starkey's complaint. His peti tions have, however, been calendared by Mr. Brewer under the same year, 15 17, as the re-grant to him. The writer in Mont. Coll. VOL. II. B 522 Cotton Charters. [768] iy 32 (continued). erroneously speaks of Sir Richard Herbert as "steward" of the lordship of Montgomery. That office was held by Charles Somerset, earl of Worcester. Besides being receiver of the lord ships, Sir Richard Herbert was porter of Montgomery castle and keeper of the forest of Vaenol. He died in 1535. He is not noticed in the Diet. Nat. Biog.

Inspeximus by king Edward III ofthe following: — Recital by William de Monte Acuto earl of Salisbury, that whereas the king has granted him an annuity of iooo marks out of the tin revenue of Cornwall, etc., he exchanges 600 of the aforesaid iooo marks per annum with Isabella the king's mother, for [inter alia] the castle and manor of Hawardyn, the castle and town of Mold, and the advowson of the church of Mold, with all their appurtenant rights, sometime of Robert de Monte Alto steward of Chester, and then held by her for her life, and granted to the earl in reversion, with right of re-entry for non payment of any part of the aforesaid 600 marks. Witnesses [all English] ; Walton, 12 July, 12 Edw. Ill, and confirmation of the same. Witness : Edward Cotton Charters. r2- [77°] xi 61 {continued). [the black prince] duke of Cornwall and earl of Chester. Walton, 16 July, 12 Edw. Ill [1338]. French. Sealed with the great seal, in excellent condition. This instrument is entered upon the Patent Roll for the same year, pars. 2, m. io, and is followed by an entry embodying the terms oi the original grant to the earl and of his agreement with the queen. The devolution of the manors of Hawarden and Mold has nowhere, so far as I can discover, been worked out from the public records. There is a brief chapter in Ormerod's Cheshire (ed. Helsby, i, 56). Of Hawarden, Lloyd's Powys Padog (iii, 238) says that it "remained in the possession of the Barons de Montalto till 1327, 1 Edw. Ill, when Robert the last Baron de Montalto (for want of issue) left this manor and his other great possessions to Isabel, the Queen mother, and from her it passed to the Crown"; a statement which is by no means accurate, and at best is much too succinct. From an entry on the Patent Roll for 1327 we learn that what happened in that year was the grant of a royal licence empowering Robert de Monte Alto to enfeoff master Henry de Clif, the king's clerk, of the castle and manor of Mold, the castle and manor of Hawarden,1 and various English dignities and possessions, and for the said Henry to re-grant the said premises to the said Robert and Emma his wife and the heirs male ot the said Robert, vvith successive remainders to queen Isabella for life, to John de Eltham the king's brother in tail, and ultimately to the king and his heirs (p. 2, m. 26). In accordance with this arrangement a fine was levied between Henry de Cliff and Robert de Monte Alto and his wife, by which Robert and Emma became life tenants ofthe lands enumerated in the fine, with the successive remainders already mentioned ; a procedure which (Robert being without issue) effectually barred the succession ofhis heirs tail. Robert died in 1329, and (subject, presumably, to Emma's right of dower) queen Isabella became possessor under the provisions of the above-mentioned fine, though the royal escheator at once seized the lands on the ground of the ultimate reverter to the king. In 1330 Robert de Morley, cousin2 and heir-at- law of Robert de Monte Alto, obtained a writ of diem clausit extremum to enquire what possessions Robert de Monte Alto was seized of as of fee at the time of his death that were not com prised in the aforenamed fine (Rot. Pari, ii, 49). I have not 1 The manor of Hawarden (and that of Boselee in the forest of Macclesfield) was held of the earl of Chester by homage and by the stewardship of placing the first dish before the earl whenever he should be at Chester at Christmas (Inq. ad quod damnum entered on Chester Plea Rolls, 33-4 Edw. I, m. 2d). 2 But see the note on the next page. 524 Cotton Charters. [77°] xi 61 {continued). pursued the records of the suit, and do not know its issue.1 In any event the lands which had passed into the queen's hands continued in her possession until the formal exchange with the earl of Salisbury. In 1330 John de Eltham the king's uncle, and the first remainder-man under the fine of 1327, died leaving no issue, thus making the king tenant in tail in remainder to the queen. As such, on the ist October 1337 Edward granted his rights in the manors (with other properties and privileges) to William de Monte Acuto earl of Salishury for life; and on the 6th of the same month queen Isabella, as particular tenant, attorned to the earl for the various properties. This deed of attornment is in the British Museum, being Harley Charter 43 D 26. The king's grant to earl William is recited in an inspexi mus ofthe ist May 1341, which is entered on the Patent Roll and also on the Chester Recognizance Roll for that year. On the death of the earl in 1397 without issue, the grant was continued to Elizabeth his wife for her life,2 and in 1398 was enlarged to a holding in perpetuity in favour of John de Monte Acuto his nephew, who became the third earl of Salisbury. The confusion that ensued upon the forfeiture of this earl as a traitor in the second year of Henry IV, is well illustrated by the entries upon the Patent Roll of 1428 (6 Hen. IV, p. 2, mm. 13d, I2d) on the occasion of the claim of John's son Thomas to his father's estates. Both manors were granted by Henry VI in 1443 to Sir Thomas Stanley, ' and their subsequent devolution is shown in the Report of the Welsh Land Commission, Appendix M (Manors), p. 449. 1 A ray of light is obtained from a lawsuit decided almost a century later. The Chester Plea Roll of 7 Hen. IV [1406], m. 6, records the suit of Elizabeth formerly the wife of William de Montagu earl of Salisbury, against John de Stanley chivaler and William de Neuhagh chaplain, for the next presentation to the church of Hawardyn. The following pedigree is alleged:— I ~~ I Robert de Monte Alto, Isabella seised temp. Edw. II I ob. s.p. Robert de Morley. Robert de Monte Alto enfeoffed Isabella, late queen of England, in exchange for the manor of Framlesdon co. Suffolk, with reversion to John de Eltham earl of Cornwall, her son, and the heirs of his body ; John died s.p., and king Edward granted the manor and castle to William de Montagu earl of Salisbury, who had issue John, who had issue another John. The last John forfeited his estates 2 Hen. IV by his insurrection against king Henry, and king Henry granted them to John de Stanley and his heirs by letters patent dated 15 May, 6 Hen. IV. Verdict for John de Stanley (Wrottesley, Pedigrees from the Plea Rolls, 243). The statement in the plea of the grant of the 15th May, 6 Hen. VI, appears to be erroneous. 2 For an instrument attesting the livery to her of the various properties see Additional Charter 662, below. Cotton Charters. 525 [771] xiii 20.

[803] 48 C 27. Charter of Walter de Clifford (the third) to Dore abbey; c. 1240. Latin. Dugdale, Monasticon v, 554, No. VI. This and the charter 48 C 26 are the originals of the two documents printed by Dugdale ex autographo in bib. Deuvesiana (Sir Simonds D'Ewes). The bounds of the present grant, not very accurately given in the Monasticon, are as follows : Nanteglas, cum omnibus pertinenths suis, ex utraque parte rivuli, qui vocatur Kaleturbohehan, scilicet supra prsenominatum locum de Nanteglas, ex utraque parte rivuli, sursum usque ad Epint, et subtus, ex una parte prsedicti rivuli, usque ad locum ubi Nankarntatherech cadit in Kaletur. Et ex alia parte Kaletur usque ad locum ubi Nantmanach cadit in Kaletur. Et ita tantum terram in bosco et in piano infra Nantmanach, et Kaletur-bochan usque ad caput Nantmanach, quod est inter 536 Harley Charters. [803] $8 C 27 {continued).

The properties conveyed by the above grant, and the easement accorded by the charter of Meuric ap Gruffudd, 43 A 71 (ante) are situate for the most part in the modern parishes of Llandevalle, Crickadarn and Gwenddwr, and lie on both sides of the Clettwr (Kaletur). This stream rises in the Eppynt hills, and after a course of a few miles (for about four of which it forms the boundary between the parishes of Crickadarn and Gwenddwr) falls into the Wye at a place now called Erwood, but which Theophilus Jones, the historian of Brecknockshire, also calls Gerrwyd — probably the Wuritkei of the charter, and the Orrikey of 43 A 71. The Gwenddwr is a tributary stream, also rising in the Eppynt hills, having an almost direct southerly course until its fall into the Clettwr, about half a mile west of Maes y Clettwr. Another tiny feeder of the Clettwr in its upper reaches is given on the old one-inch ordnance map as Nant yr Offeiriad; there was also a Clettwr fechan according to the charter, but I have been unable to identify it. Nant yr Offeiriad appears to be the Nant y Mynaeh of the charter. There is, however, another Nant y Mynaeh about four miles to the south of the Clettwr, and apparently having nothing to do with it. The Abersor of 43 A 71 I cannot trace: it can hardly be intended for Aberyscir. Ciliau (of the same charter), or as it is now called Cilian (Ciliain on the modern six-inch map), is a small farm forming a tiny manor ofthe same name. Theophilus Jones (Hist. Brecknockshire, 314) calls it Cil-Ian. Nant carn tathe rach I cannot discover on the modern maps. Llyswen is on the Welsh side of the Wye, at a sharp turn of the river. Blaenber- herburh, the source of the Clettwr, is not shown on the maps, but appears to be the modern Blaen llwyn du, perhaps for llyn du. A few words may be permitted on the obscure but interesting connection between the English benefactors of the monastic house of Dore and their Welsh tenants of the marchland. The abbey of Dore is said to have been founded by Robert the son of Harold, lord of that moiety of Ewyas that in consequence became known as Ewyas Harold. This Harold was the son of Ralph earl of Hereford, and grandson of Goda sister of king Edward the Con fessor and wife of Eustace count of Boulogne. He was living in or near the year 1 120, as was also his son Robert the founder of Dore abbey. Robert had a son, another Robert, who dates a charter in 1195 (Arch. Camb., 3rd Ser., xiv, 63). The other moiety of Ewyas, with much neighbouring property, was held by the Lacys, and was thence called Ewyas Lacy. Harley Charters. 537 [803] 48 C 27 {continued). By, and perhaps a few years before, the opening of the twelfth century much ofthe upper portion ofthe present county of Brecon had become the Honour or Lordship of Brecknock, the actual terri tory being possessed by a number of minor barons holding under the earls of Hereford, with a jurisdiction which seems to have extended from the eastern confines of Carmarthenshire to the Wye, and in cluding Ewyas, the land between the Dore and the Black Mountains. Richard fitz Pons held much of this land in 1 129, when we last hear of him (Round, Ancient Charters, 23); he is the Rickert son of Ponson of the Bruty Tywysogion who held Cantref Bychan and the castle of Llandovery in 11 15 (11 13). Richard's son Walter settled at Clifford in what is now the county of Hereford, and as such was always known. He was a great benefactor of the monks of Dore, amongst his gifts being the lands in Cantref Selyf now in question. He is said to have lived to 1190 (British Museum Charters, 65), although his reputed father-in-law, Ralph de Tony, is set down as holding the same lands in 1068 [? 1086] (Diet. Nat. Biog). Of the charters that fall within the scope of this Catalogue Campbell Charter xvm 4 is the earliest in date to which he appears as a witness. At some time prior to 11 74 he granted rights of common over Cantref Selyf to the monks of Dore, with such reservations, it may be presumed, as .accorded with the existing covenanted rights of his homagers and tenants.1 These were probably more Welsh than English in number and influence, especially in the more distant parts of his' lordship ; and thus we find in Harley Charter 43 A 71 a grant by Meurig ap Gruffudd of Ciliau to the abbey of an easement consisting of a right of way to the properties comprised in Walter de Clifford's grant. Meurig must to some unknown extent have admitted the overlordship of de Clifford, for we find amongst the witnesses to his grant the name of the constable of de Clifford's castle of Brynllys, and a couple of knightly tenants of the Cliffords. 1 The original of this charter does not seem to exist, but a transcript of it is in Additional MS. 3031 1, f. 3 (a modern transcript of the chartulary of Shrewsbury abbey). It is also in the Monasticon (v, 555) from another source, with the wit nesses' names very incorrectly given ; see also Eyton (Hist. Shropshire, v, 149). It is undated, but must be earlier than 1 174, as it is attested by de Clifford's daughter Rosamund, whose illicit connection with king Henry commenced about that year. On the other hand it cannot be prior to 1 168, for Rosamund must have been over twenty-one when she witnessed the charter, and she was born but little before 1148 (Diet. Nat. Biog.). The full list of witnesses is : David [fitz Gerald] bishop of St. David's [1 147-1 176] ; Osbert fitz Hugh [m. Amicia daughter of Walter de Clifford the grantor; he was almost certainly son of Hugh fitz Osbern fitz Richard of Richard's Castle]; Margaret de Clifford [the grantor's wife] ; Walter de Clifford junior; Rosamund his (the Iatter's) sister; Ralph de Bascherville ; Helya de Maryn ; Hugh de Say [m. Lucia another daughter of Walter] ; William de Barchelle; Symon the monk; Richard Caycell [the first appearance of this interesting name in a form and at a period which rather militates against its derivation from the Welsh Seisillt or Sitsillt]. vol. 11, C 538 Harley Charters. [803] 48 C 27 {continued). Walter de Clifford was succeeded by his son, another Walter, and he by a third Walter,1 during whose lifetime a controversy arose as to the extent of land comprised within the first Walter's grant to the monks of Dore. The British Museum charters testify to this dispute and to its ultimate settlement, but from another source we obtain a clearer idea of the issue of the quarrel, and also further details of the area about which the battle was waged. The Calendar of Charter Rolls, p. 260, gives the following abstract of a document ofthe date of 12 August 1241, enrolled on the Charter Roll of 25 Hen. Ill, m. 3. Inspeximus and confirmation of a chirograph, made on the morrow of St. James, 25 Henry III, in the court of the king at Gloucester in the presence of Stephen de Segrave, John son of Geoffrey, Jeremy de Kaxton, then justices of the king, and others, for the settlement of the plea moved between Walter de Clifford, son of Walter de Clifford, and Agnes de Gundi on the one part, and brother Stephen, the abbot, and the convent of Dore on the other, touching lands and pastures in Canterselif, whereby the said Walter gave up, for himself and his heirs, to St. Mary and the abbot and monks of Dore, all his lands in Wendor and Nanteglus, disafforested, with all free customs thereto belonging, to be by them and their men tilled, essarted, enclosed, and dealt with at their pleasure, with pastures, commons, and other liberties pur suant to the charters of the said Walter and his ancestors. And for the settlement of disputes as to the boundaries, the said Walter admits that the land of Wendor runs from Blainberherburh, where Caleturmaur rises, along the confines of Buelth on the west side as far as the Wye, and again from the head of Keleturmaur going down and dividing by the same stream on the south side to the Wye ; and the metes of the monks' land of Nanteglus begin, where Nantmanagh falls into Kaleturboghan, and run up that stream to the head of Nantmanagh, which is between Wurichkey 1 The Cliffords became connected with the Welsh princes of North Wales, so that the following sketch pedigree may prove useful : — Richard fitz Pons Ralph de Toni Walter de Clifford=Margaret (d. 1 190) | Walter=Agnes de Conde (d. 1220) Walter=Margaret d. Llewelyn (d. 1263) ap Iorwerth Maud=(i) William de Longspee (2) John Giffard It may be observed that by Cotton Charter 48 C 31, which is dated 1263, Margaret the wife of Walter de Clifford (the third) and daughter of Llewelyn ap Iorwerth appointed her heart to be buried in the priory church of Acornbury. One ofthe witnesses to the declaration is Philip chaplain of Brentles [Brynllys]. Harley Charters. 539 [803] 48 C 27 {continued). and'Epyn, and thence runs in a straight line westward to the head of Kaleturboghan, which rises on the upper part of Scuthwer, and thence straight to the Flemish way (viam Flandrensem), which divides the lands of the monks from the land of Madoc Bochan of Ginnog, and along that road to the place called Sharn, where Nantkartatherek rises, and down that stream to the point where it falls into Kaleturboghan, and thence down Kaleturboghan to the point where Nantmanagh falls into it. All those lands by the said metes the said monks may enclose and put in defense ; nor shall any from Kanterselif or elsewhere with any beasts have common within these lands, save upon the mountains of Epyn without the said bounds, since they have taken all these lands from the free forest ofthe said Walter and his ancestors ; and if any deer be killed therein by the men or dogs of the said monks, it shall be taken to the grange of Wendor, and reported to the bailiffs of Brentles, that they may remove it thence, and neither the monks nor their men shall be troubled therefor ; the nests of sparrow-hawks shall belong to the said Walter ; but the beasts of the monks shall not be troubled on that account, nor their shep herds molested. Moreover the said monks and their servants shall have free entry, exit, and passage through the land of Kanterselif with their chattels by all roads and paths where other men have been wont to go. Moreover the said Walter restores the said monks all that part of Epyn, which lies between the way, which runs to the cross of Yorwerth (crucem Yorwerth), and the wood of his forest, which he formerly included in the forest in violation of their charters. And since there was dispute between the said Walter and the monks touching the common of the whole land of the said Walter, as contained in their charters, it is defined to be pasture only for their beasts and for their sheep of Troscoit and Wardevoc over all the land between Treffret and Landewaslan, as far as Kesin, and thence as far as Kaleturboghan and so up by Nantkartatherek to the Flemish way, saving the corn and meadows of his men, which have lands in the said pasture. Moreover the said Walter restores to the said monks pasture and common in wood and herbage of all his lands which lie south of the Flemish way, the bounds running along that way to the boun dary of Gomot, and thence along another road which runs down to Ricbreckeynoc, and so down to the head of Duveleys, and thence to Tuchlarduveleys, so that within these metes the monks shall have free pasture also for their stud (equitium) when it comes thither, and so that they may take in the wood what they require for the granges of Troscoit and Wardevoc for building, for fuel and for making hedges ; but without those bounds they shall have no claim to common, or husbot, or heibot. Nor ought the said Walter or his heirs to alienate or diminish the land with these metes, so far as the monks' pasture is concerned. And the foregoing lands and common the said Walter has granted to the said monks in frank almoin, in wood and open, without any diminution. Ofthe names in this interesting entry Scuthwer, now Scithwen, is a tributary "of the Wye, next below the Clettwr, into the former C 2 540 Harley Charters. [803] 48 C 27 {continued). of which it falls at a point called Trericket or Tre Ricied ford; it rises on a farm called Llaneglwys uchaf in the parish of Crickadarn, and receives on its western side the tributary streams of Cigfran and Rhiwiau. The interesting name Via Flandrensis seems to have denoted an ancient trackway, one termination of which is marked by the modern Pen yr heol. The trackway was continued by the name Cefn Clawdd until it reached a monolith or carn marking the spot where the parish of Crickadarn met that of Llanfihangel. It may have been connected with a clearly defined ancient paved track on the western (or further) side of the Honddu, still called Sarnau, which itself is clearly a continuation of the road (in parts called Sarn Helen and at others 'a Roman road') running through Ystradfellte. The land of Madoc Fychan of Ginnog was on the Honddu fechan, an earthwork on the bank of that stream in the parish of Llanfihangel being still known as Castell Madoc. Croes Iorwerth, in or near the wood of Eppynt, has I fear disappeared, but it no doubt stood in Llwyn Iorwerth, about half a mile south of the village of Crickadarn. A quite different property is Troscoit or Trawscoed on an unnamed tributary of the Dulais, a branch of the Llyfni, about a mile north of Talachddu. Wardevoc I cannot trace. Treffret is the Trefred brook which takes its rise in Mynydd Llandefalle and flows into the Dulais at a place given on the map as Triffrwd, which smacks of folk etymology; near its source are two spots called Llan eglwys isaf and Nant y mynaeh. Kesin is probably a misreading for Kefin=Cefn, and the particular Cefn may have been Cefn Gledwen or Cefn Llwydallt. Gomot is most likely the Welsh Cwmwd, and Cwmwd Selyf may be the one indicated. Ric- breckeynoc is an evident misreading of Ritbreckynoc, Rhyd Brycheiniog, the ford of Brycheiniog. I have been unable to locate this interesting place-name, but it must have been near the source of the Dulais. The extraordinary compound Tuchlar- duveleys may contain the Irish tuathlar, W. talar, the land in the upper reaches of Dulais, and the region may now be repre sented by Blaen Dulais on the southern slope of Mynydd Llandefalle. The delimitation of the district of Cantref Selyf will probably be assisted by the following extract from Jones's Brecknockshire, 318. Under the parish of Llyswen Jones writes :— " I have mentioned in my former volume (p. 97) that the manor of Cantreff-Selyff, in which this estate is situated, was divided between the families of Gwernyfed and Porthaml ; the partition took place, or rather was confirmed by the crown, in the 15th year of James, but the extensive tract, formerly known by that name, has been so cut and carved, so often divided and subdivided, by falling into the hands of different mesne lords and proprietors, that without reference to the survey herein before alluded to, it would be difficult to trace its boundaries. This document [a survey under a verdict ofajury taken 12 of April, 5 James, a.d. 1608, penes John Macnamara, Esq., of Llangoed], though of considerable importance to the proprietors, is too minute and not sufficiently Harley Charters. 54! [803] 48 C 27 {continued). interesting for publication ; it contains not only the names of the manors subject to the lord paramount, but all the farms and the chief rents, duties and services payable, or obligations on the tenants ; a short list of the manors may not perhaps be thought irrelevant here; after describing the boundary by names, and in a manner not qow perfectly intelligibly, it proceeds to state that Brynllys castle, or Bruse castle, was formerly, according to tradi tion, the residence of the lords, the Bruses having been anciently the owners thereof, that there are at Llangoed and Bryndu the sites of some ancient forts appertaining to the lords of the lord ship then dilapidated, and that Sir Robert Knollys had the castle of Brynllys and the site of Bryndu, and Sir Henry Williams the other two. They here, however, stumble at the threshold ; Brynllys was never in the possession ot the Bruses or de Breos ; it was in their time in the family of Clifford, as has been already seen, and will be more fully shown hereafter, and they are rather inaccurate in their arithmetic, having noticed the ruins of three castles only, while they seem to assign four to the lords. The manors here men tioned are as follows : — The manor of Aberyscir, but by what service or payment is not explained. The manor of Aberllyfni, with a tenement in Cwm Cadarn, by the service of a whole knight's fee. The manor of Pipton, by the service of a whole knight's fee, but now (say they), since the attainder of the Earl of Essex, it is held by Mr. Justice Williams (Sir Daniel Williams), in fee farm of his Majesty's manor of East Greenwich in socage. The manor of Porthaml issa, then held by William Sollers and Thomas Sollers, gentlemen, by the service of a third part of a knight's fee. The manor of Pont y Wal, held by — Herbert and Catherine his wife, by the service of a third part of a knight's fee. The manor of Trephilip, held by William Vaughan, esq., and Roger Vaughan, gent., by the service of a third part of a knight's fee. Two parts of the manor of Tregoed, held by John Watkins, gent., by the service of two parts of half a knight's fee ; the other third part held by Thomas Robert, gent., by the service of a third part of a knight's fee, and the other third part held by Anne Powel of the Gaer, widow, by the service of a third part of a knight's fee, which two manors make a whole knight's fee. The manor of Cwrt y Llacca, held by the service of a third part of a knight's fee. The manor of Tredyrn, held by Edward Havard, gent., by the service of a third part of a knight's fee. The manor of Trebois, held by Sir Henry Williams and William , by the service of three parts of a knight's fee, viz., William Vaughan, gent., for two parts, and Jenkin William, gent., for the other third part. The manor of Trevithel and Crickadarn, held by Thomas Havard, gent., by the service of a fourth part of a knight's fee. The following manors were held under rents and payments :— The manor of Killynog (now called Cilonw), in Llanigon and Escer y Marchogion, held by Sir David Williams at the yearly rent of two shillings, a heriot of the best beast and seven shillings alienation fee. The manor of Llyswen, held by Sir Robert Knollys, knight, Sir Henry Williams, knight, and Roger Havard, gent., at the 542 Harley Charters. [803] 48 C 27 {continued} yearly rent of ninepence, and a heriot ut supra. The manor of Britt or Britt's court, held by Sir Henry Williams, at the yearly rent of one pound of pepper, and a heriot as before. The manor of Cwmbach and Doleu-Llynwydd, held by Roger Havard, gent., by the yearly rent of one pound of pepper and a heriot as before. The manor of Rhiw and Gwern coed Owen, held by grant from Sir Walter Clifford, by Thomas Rosser John, rendering a pound ot pepper yearly and a heriot, etc. The manor of Hirdon, held by Edward ap Harry, Roger Thomas and Philip David, at the yearly rent of one pound of pepper and a heriot, etc. The manor of Cil-ian, held by Thomas Baskerville, gent., at the yearly rent of eleven shillings and eightpence, suit of court and heriot as before, and the manor of Alltmarchan, held by Sir Robert Knollys at a like rent, which last mentioned manor was parcel of the posses sions of Sir Robert Vaughan, then lately deceased, since whose death nothing was paid for the same."

Latin. Seal missing. John de Ballon (of Much Marcle) was living 1207 (Round, Peerage Studies, 205). Walter de Traveley attests a charter (Additional Charters 20,408) attributed to 1 185-1 189 in British Museum Charters, 65 ; several successive generations, however, appear to have borne this name (see 43 A 71 ante and Ancient Deeds B. 2,602, A.D. 1338), and it seems to have been softened down to Trailly. John d'Ebroica (Devereux) is a witness to a charter of 1191 (Round, Ancient Charters, 98), where he is described as episcopus. Brechfa is about two miles north-west of Brynllys. 1 This was in the parish of Crickadarn. "Over the Little Clettwr, and on the turnpike road from Builth to Hay is a bridge, the repairs of which are upon the inhabitants of the county ; near it is a tenement called Errwd or Gerrwyd, which was formerly holden by grant from Sir Walter Clifford, rendering one pair of white spurs annually or 6d. in lieu thereof."

Pembroke castle in the year 1377 was in the hands of the king by reason of the death of John de Hastings earl of Pembroke, and the minority of his heir. A commission was, issued to Sir Degarius Seys on the 2nd July, eleven days prior to the arrangement detailed above, to take over the castle with its twenty men at arms and twenty archers, and to augment the garrison to double those numbers. The apprehensions of a French landing on the coast of Wales under the redoubtable Owen de Gales (Owen ap Thomas ap Rhodri and Owen Lawgoch) were doubtless the occasion of the increase in the defenders covenanted for in the above arrangement. Sir Desgarry Sais appears to have been an able man, and one of the most trusted servants of King Richard, though he seems to have fallen into disgrace about the middle of the reign. He had great possessions in Flintshire, and was probably a native of that county. He was married to Radegunda lady Mortimer (who sur vived him), and died before the year 1400. Additional Charter 15,902 (below), a document of the year 1394, relates to him. He appears to be absolutely unknown to writers of Welsh history, and has no place in the Diet. Nat. Biog.

Signed, Hugh Morgan. English. Heraldic seal. Ill B 17-45. This series of twenty-nine deeds have relation to co. Brecon, and numerically few as they are, constitute an important contribution to the authentic topography and genealogy of that county. They appear to have been brought together by Hugh Thomas, the Breconshire herald, were amongst his bequests to Robert Harley, earl of Oxford (see his will p. 491 ante), and so became part of the great Harleian collections of manuscripts and charters. [1016] 111 B 17.

The Hepste is a tributary of the Mellte, falling into the latter about two miles south of Ystrad Fellte. On the high ground between the two streams, and within half-a-mile of Castell Coch, the old one-inch Ordnance map places Carreg fawr, and a little further on is Gwern cefn y garreg, the former no doubt the Karreg Gwern llwyn of the charter. [1018] 111 B 19. Bond by Ho[wel] Dauit ap Gwillym of Penderin in the lord ship of Brecon, yeoman, and R[ees] Gr. Ll'n Dauit Morgan of Ystrat Vellte in the same lordship, yeoman, to R[ees] ap Morgan Meredydd of indebtedness in nine marks ; 18 April, 28 Hen. VIII [1537].

II [1387]. Latin. Much discoloured. Two seals, one abbatial. Saint Kaleth [? Celydd] is not mentioned in Miss Gwenllian Morgan's excellent paper on " Forgotten Sanctuaries " (Arch. Camb., 6th Ser., iii, 205), but the Rev. J. Fisher (ib. 345), quoting Achau'r Saint, gives one of Brychan's sons as Valath. [1020] in B 21. Release by William ap Gwilym ap D'd alias William Wreych to Howel ap John ap Howel ap Madoc of a parcel of land late of Trahaiarn ap Howel vychan in the parish of Maynor Weyno and fee of Penkelly under Thomas ap John ap Howel ap Madoc, lying in breadth between the lands of John ap Rice ap Gwilym and those late of Ll'n ap Howel ap Ieuan, and in breadth from the rivulet called Taffe vaur to the place called Clauthe Howell. Witnesses : David ap Ieuan lia, Thomas William, Walter ap Ric[e or Richard]; 27 Sept., 17 Hen. VIII [1525]. Latin. Seal broken. In the list of Plwyfau Cymru in the Myvyrian Archaiology (ed. Gee, 740), under Swydd Vrycheiniog (Cwmwd Tir yr Hawlf, Tir Rawlf, Ralph de Toni) occurs the parish of Maenor Wyno. Edward Williams (Iolo Morganwg), from whose transcript the Myvyrian list was printed, being unable to make up the total number of Breconshire parishes, suggested that the parish of Vaenor was one of the omissions. But the early name of what became the parish of Vaenor was Maenor Weyno. See in B 29 post. [1021] 111 B 22. Grant in fee simple by John ap Gwilym Gwyn to . . . Hopkyn of six and a-half parcels of land in the parish of Ystrad vellte in the lordship of Brecon : — The first parcel called Tir Adam lying in breadth between the lands late of William ap Res ap Gwilym and those of Jankyn Havard, and in length from the rivulet called Mellte to park y Dero ; the second called Tyr yr Ynsaeth lying in breadth between the rivulet called Mellte and e Meyn [Y Maen] Yren, and in Harley Charters. 587 [102 1] 111 B 22 {continued).length between the lands of Griffith ap R. ap Gwilym and those of Gwilym ap Hoell ap Gwilym ; the third called Tyr y gare Kelly [? beilly] uchaf lying in breadth between the lands called and the lands late of John Gunter, and in length between the lands of the aforesaid Gwilym ap Hoell ap Gwilym to park y Deyro; the fourth called Tyr bryn y beirhe lying in breadth between the lands of Meredydd ap Hoell ap Ieuan ap Ris and those of Owen ap Res, and in length from cae Grono to le fosse haland (or halaud) ; the fifth called Tyr echel dreff yssa lying in breadth between the rivulet of Nethe vaghan and Karrec lem ; the sixth called Ceven ychell dreff ychaff lying in breadth between Pantt y forth and Fynnon Sevte, and in length from Neth vaghan to Bryn y merin; the half-parcel called Tyr forth gogove lying in breadth between Porth gogove and tir Gruffudd ap R. ap Gwilym, and in length from tir Gwilym hir to the land of the afore said Gr. ap R. ap Gwilym. Witnesses : David ap Hoell ap David ap Meredydd, Gruffyth ap Ieuan melyn, Oweyn ap Ieuan melyn et aliis. Stradvellte, 8 Jan., 18 Hen. VII [1502]. Latin. Few of the interesting place-names in the above charter can now be traced upon the Ordnance map. The most important is that of Maen Yren, one of the boundaries of the second parcel. This is shown on the old one-inch Ordnance map as Carn Yarian, which has been improved into Carn yr Arian on the modern issue. Cefn ucheldre is on the west bank of the river Neath, with the Sarn Helen close by. The latter may be alluded to in the pull y forth (ffordd) of the charter. Park y dero or deyro probably stands for park y derw, oak-tree park ; and le fosse haland or halaud may represent ffoes halawg, the polluted ditch; halawg is a fairly common element in early Welsh place-names. Carreg lem can hardly be the monolith now called y Maen Llia. [1022] 111 B 23. Grant in fee simple by Richard ap Gronowe of Dorston co. Hereford to John ap Thomas of Dorston and Agnes his wife, of a tenement in Dorston situated between the tenement of the chantry of the blessed Mary of Dorston and that of a certain John Hert on the one side, and the tenement of a certain Richard Boley on the other side, and extending from the highway to the rivulet called Sarthenant.

St. Gwynnog is the patron of the church of the parish now called Vaenor. Whether he is identical with the Gwnog com memorated at Llan Wnogin Montgomeryshire is perhaps doubtful. As has been already stated (charter in B 21, ante) the parish of Vaenor or Y Vaenor- was formerly known as Maenor Weyno. The properties conveyed by this document and by m B 21 were situated along the course of the Taff fawr, but I have been unable to identify any of the places upon the old or new Ordnance maps. There is a Cwm Crew and a Gwaun Crew, the former a tributary of the Taff fawr, which it is tempting to identify with the Glyn Crawc of the document. The Clawdd Howell of 111 B 21 and the Clawdd Ynyr of the present charter are two boundary dikes that have disappeared. 'Magwyr' is an uncommon element in Welsh place-names ; it signifies a plot of ground that had been enclosed and brought under cultivation. [1029J in B 30. Defeasance of a grant by Thomas le Hunte and Wenlleana his wife to Walter ap Ric[hard] ap Meuric of one tenement etc. within the walls of the town of Brecon, made by deed dated Michaelmas, 6 Hen.

Schedule of debts. Proved at Brecon, 18 May 1533. Latin. Seal indistinct. The document is very indistinct. Rees in his Essay on the Welsh Saints gives Tetta as the name of the saint commemorated at Llan Ddetty, but the form presented by this document, following the analogy of the very similar Iltutus for Illtyd, would appear to make for some such name as Detutus, which may have been the Latin form given to the Welsh Detwyt, mod. dedwydd, happy. [1035] 111 B 36. Grant in fee simple by Thomas John Thomas of Llan- vrenagh com. Brecon generosus and Crisly his wife, to Thomas John Baron of the same parish generosus ; Tenements and appurtenances called Tir Koed y dderwas ar gelly wastod, extending in length from the highway from the parish church of Llanvrenagh over the mountain or common called Cwm Orgwm to the place called Bulch y Ddwyallt, and in length from the laud called William Meredydd and Howel John Lewes to the land of Thomas John Edmond; and also the separate parcels called y bryn bychan containing four acres, tir y twod containing eight acres, y rhandir draws wrth ben y pylle containing three acres, y rhandir wrth glose y ffynnon goeg containing three acres, y rhandir yn y dryll mawr containing three acres, yr erw ymhwll y kadvan containing three acres, and two acres in the meadow called y wrlodd lace [y werglodd las] ; 10 Sept., 2 James I [1604].

This is the earliest charter in point of date of the Breconshire series with which we have been dealing, and it is the more unfortunate that no district or parish is mentioned whereby it could be located.

Several of the witnesses attest a charter of Baderon to Mon mouth priory (Monasticon, ed. Ellis, iv, 596). [1082] Y 7. Agreement between the abbot of Tintern and William de Derneford junior, concerning the division of the wood of Landrest [St. Pierre, co. Monmouth]. Latin. The charter is as follows :— Sciant presentes et futuri quod cum aliqua mota esset controversia inter abbatem et conventum de Tintern' ex una parte et Willelmum de Derneford juniorem ex altera in curia domini Comitis super quodam nemore de Landrest quod ipsi in convente [sic] per aliquid tempus tenuerunt. Et cum pro- posuissent abbas et conventus quod dictum nemus ad liberum tenementum suum de Landrest pertinere deberet. Dictus Willelmus de Derneford Willelmum de sancto Petro traxit in warantare dicens quod porcionem quam tenuit illius nemoris cum filia Willelmi de' sancto Petro in liberum acceperat maritagium. Willelmus vero de sancto Petro in curia domini comitis compares Abbati et conventui de Tyntern' jus suum integre recognovit. Et sic jam dicta querela amicabili concordia conquievit sub hac forma, Videlecit quod tam dicti abbas et conventus quam dictus Willelmus de sancto Petro dictum nemorem in duas partes inter se diviserunt. Scilicet per quandam veterem fossam que ex transverso dicti nemoris tendit, que fossa proxima est cuidam vie scilicet extransverso nemoris tendenti pars vero quondam in introitu nemoris tribus viis circumdata cedit illi parti que est ex parte occidentis ad dictam partem meliorandam quam partem [hole in parchment] dicti Abbas et conventus sunt omni reclama- cione inperpetrfum.

Witnesses : Nicholas de St. Bridget, William de St. Maur, Philip Deneband, William de Wilt' steward of Netherwent, Nicholas dean of St. Bridget's et multis aliis. Strigull, Sept. 28 Hen. Ill [1244]. Landrest appears as Landreston in a confirmation charter of 7 Hen. Ill given in the Monasticon (ed. Ellis, v, 267), and amongst the witnesses to the charter then confirmed are William de Derneford (probably senior) and Nicholas de St. Bridget (St. Bride's, deanery of Netherwent). William of Christ Church (de Christi ecclesia) was then steward of Netherwent. [1083] Y 8. Confirmation by Walter de Cormeliis to Monmouth priory of the patronage of the church of Weston [co. Glou cester] granted by Richard de Cormeliis his father. Witnesses : P[eter] prior of Monmouth, Robert Segrester {Seg'est'r), Will. Galensis, Peter de Cormaliis, William the monk nephew of the lord Gilbert, Robert the writer, Monneius, Alan, Gilbert parson of Stretton, Walter de Hunteley, Draco the lord's kinsman {famulo domini) ; no date. Latin. Dugdale, Monasticon (ed. Ellis) iv, 597, from this source. If from the term "the lord " Gilbert it may be inferred that Gilbert had succeeded his lather Baderon in the lordship of Monmouth, this charter must date after 1170, in which year Baderon died. [1084] Yii 13. Inspeximus by Edmund de Mortuo-Mari earl of March and Ulster, marshal of England, of a Grant by Walter de Lacy, son of Hugh de Lacy, his ancestor, to the church of St. John Baptist, Lanthony prima [co. Mon mouth] for his soul and that of Margery his wife, of the valley in which the priory stands, with mast in the wood of Mascoit, and lands in Ewyes ; and confirmation of the same. Lanthony, Friday of the feast of St. Ambrose bishop, 50 Edw. Ill [1377]. Latin. The charter of Walter de Lacy is in the Monasticon (ed. Ellis vi, 138), under the Gloucestershire Lanthony from Rot. Cart. 28 Edw. Ill no. 1. The boundaries of the valley are there given ex parte Kenentasset [Keuencassec, Cefn Casseg] et Askareswey ; et per la Ruggeweye usque ad Antefin ; et ex parte Haterel a terra Seisil filii Gileberti, par le Ruggeweye, usque ad divisas de Talgargh. Also common pasture in Wrynen. Also mast in bosco meo de Mascoit. Campbell Charters. 625 [1085] XYiii 2. Memorandum of an award by J. [rural] dean of Brecon in a dispute between the abbot of Dora [Dore, co. Hereford] ofthe one part, and Ioruord, Ailwyn and his four sons, Grifin ab Adam, Lewelin ab Ithel, Canadaf [? Cunedda], Ithel ab Glowen, Ioruord Parchel, Bilda, Caducan ab Bilda, Caducan Iowen, Ioruord ab Dauid, Grifin ab Caducan wyth, Kenewrec, Noe mab Moil, Gronou Gur, Waldewy [? Wasdewy] ab Owen et filios eius, David ab Grifin, Kenewrec ab Iorkin of the other part, re specting the right of pasture in Canterselif [Cantref Selyf, co. Brecon] contrary to the charters of Walter de Clifford senior and junior, whereby the latter parties to the deed are released from the sentence of excom munication they had incurred, and in case of repe tition of the trespass are to pay a fine of 40^. to the bishop of St. David's. Witnesses : Master William of Christ Church, Sir Richard rector of Aberleveny {Aberleuen ?), Sir Oein ab Mereduth lord of Elvael {Eleuail),Kes ab Meuric constable of Bryn\\ys{Brantleys); Monday after All Saints, 125 1. Latin. Four seals — Rhys: almost entirely obliterated ; Ioreford: S. Iorefort ; Ailwyn : an equal-armed cross within a circle, a dot within each angle; William: an ecclesiastic, inscription gone ; Richard : . . . hard. This is an interesting charter by reason of the number of Welsh names it contains, and because it is dated. Rhys ab Meuric, in 1251 constable of Brynllys, was living in 1271 (see Harley Charter 43 A 71 ante). Hugh Muredak, probably younger brother to Owen lord of Elvael, attests a charter of 1257 (Monasticon, ed. Ellis, v, 555). Master William of Christ Church witnesses a charter of 1223 (see [1082] ante). For some remarks upon the dispute between the monks of Dore Abbey and their patrons the Cliffords respecting the extent of the abbatial rights in Cantref Selyf see the note to Harley Charter 48 C 27 (ante). The Welshmen, parties to the present document, were doubtless tenants ofthe Cliffords. [1086] XYiii i. Grant by John de Monemuta to the priory of Clifford [co. Hereford] of freedom of toll in his town of Monmouth ; circa 1200. Latin. 626 Campbell Charters. [1086] XYiii i (continued). Monasticon (ed. Ellis), v, 42. The witnesses to this document make its dating a matter of difficulty. Sir Alberic de Capella witnesses a charter (Cotton Charter xxi 6) dated by the British Museum as circa 1140; while Sir Henry de Penebroc (or Peu- bruge) is put by Clark as sheriff of Glamorgan in 1200-14 (Carta, iv, 654). It is probably a case of fathers and sons of the same name. [1087] XX 2. Compotus of Sir David Ormond, clerk, receiver of Roger de Mortuo Mari [de Wigmore] for the manor of Nerberth [co. Pembroke], 1-2 Hen. V [141 3-4]. Latin.

Fine but imperfect specimen of the great seal. The alienated properties are half a burgage in Haverford lying between the half burgage of Thomas Textour on the one side and the burgage of Philip Clerk on the other, granted by Robert Niger ; all his land etc. in Haverford lying between the house of John Clerk towards the south and extending along the king's way (via regia) to the water called Gledy [Cleddau], granted by Adam Lomb ; half a burgage in Haverford lately held by John Clerk lying between the land of the friars and that of Adam Scedelok, granted by Richard de Excestre.

Defendant called to warranty William lord Brooke of Beauchamp's Court, and he in turn vouched Garret Edmonds. The manor of Pen y clawdd, which doubtless took its name from its proximity to Offa's Dyke, does not appear in the list of Monmouthshire manors given in Appendix M to the Report of the Welsh Land Commissioners. [1092] 619. Exemplification of a fine levied at the court of great sessions held at Welshpool, Monday 12 Mar. 18 Chas.

[1102] 1060. It may be well to state that the identification of Chirche which occurs in this charter (an inspeximus in favour of Whalley abbey), with Chirk co. Denbigh, given in the Museum Index Locorum to Charters and Rolls, is inaccurate. The Chirche of the charter would appear to be Whalley parish church, or an edifice near the abbey (see The Chartulary of Whalley Abbey [Cheetham Society]). 632 Additional Charters. [1103] 1252. Inspeximus by John de Moumbray [Mowbray] lord of Gower to the monastery of Neath : — Charter of Henry late earl of Warwyk and lord of Gower; the fishery of Pulcan'a previously held by Ralph Heremit, with liberty to take fish anywhere between Pulcan'a and the water of Tauwy ; and right to erect a weir across the Tauwy from their lands on Glyntauwy called Enysumwen to the firm and dry land of Gower ; also confirming the grant of Henry de Vilers in the fee of Talbont, that is all the land between the following bounds : from the west of the water of Lohoe to the middle of the rivulet of Winuein, and from the head of that rivulet directly to the foss which is below Predewen, and so to the next rivulet as it falls into the Liv [Lliw]; on the east, the river Liv from the north of two rivulets which rise between Keuenarth and Coppedegrove, of which one falls into the Lohoe, and the other into the Liv by the alder wood (juxta alnetum); and the chapel of St. Michael de Carnu which is within the said bounds, with all easements of the fee of Talbont, and with common of pasture. Witnesses : Antony monk, Cadiuor priest, William de Londres (Londoniis) et multis aliis ; Also a charter of William late earl of Warwick and lord of Gower setting forth and confirming the above charter. And because disputes had arisen between me and the said monks as to the boundaries between my land of Kyi vey and the land of the monks to the west of the river Neath, I, with my council, and with the consent of the monks, have laid down these limits ; commencing at the spot where the rivulet called Cremelyn falls into the depth of the bog (in malam moram), and ascending by the said rivulet close to the pebbly ford (ad proximum vadum saxosum) where the way leading from Lansamle goes away from the said rivulet by Eskeyrhyrayth towards the abbey, and so directly by the wood to the well of St. Iltut and thence in a straight line (linealiter) to Fonnon Doyui ; and thence directly to the rivulet called Gleys, and along the stream to the point where it falls into the Tauwy. And because it was not possible to perambulate the bounds from the point where the Cremelyn falls into the marsh up to the sea, it was agreed that the boundary should run through the middle of that marsh. Witnesses: Nigel de Mundavill, Henry brother of the earl, Ralph de la Mare and many others ; and confirming the same, with all other grants of William de Brewes, our grandfather, late lord of Gower ; saving to me one red sparrowhawk {uno esperuario rubeo) for a tenement in Logh'ue [Loughor] called Ponde.

This group of charters (with some exceptions) relate to that portion of the county of Hereford between the Wye and the present boundary of Wales, and constituting roughly the south-western fourth of the county, which preserves in the names of its parishes and farms many reminiscences of Welsh domination. I have, therefore, included such of these charters as by their place or personal names furnish important evidence of the existence and survival of Welsh influence upon what is now English ground, VOJ., JJ. ? 634 Additional Charters.

Usk, 10 March, 4 Edw. Ill [1330]. Latin. It will be observed that the charter of earl Richard son of earl Gilbert is undated. The uncertainty thus occasioned as to their identity is increased by the frequent occurrence of this sequence of names in the great house of Clare, and the charter has conse quently been variously regarded by English historical writers. The first to draw attention to it was Mr. Thomas Wakeman, the Monmouthshire antiquary, who in 1854 advanced the theory that its grantor, Richard son of Gilbert, was none other than Richard Strong- bow, the leader of the first band of Norman warriors into Ireland (fournal Brit. Arch. Assoc, x, 261), his views being based upon the allusions ofthe grantor to his ancestors, and identification of the witnesses. Mr. Wakeman, however, in dealing with the charter did not give its exact provenance in the Museum collections, so that it appears to have become known only from his own trans cript, which is by no means faultless. Many years later Mr. Wakeman's conclusions were challenged by the late Mr. John Fitchett Marsh in a posthumously published work, The Annals of Chepstow Castle (edited by the late Sir John Maclean), written after much research into the history of the de Clares of Striguil. Mr. Marsh's position is as follows (p. 40) : — "A possible argument in favour of his [Earl Richard's] ownership [of Striguil] as an inference from his connection by property with the immediate neighbourhood, may be founded on the fact (if it be one, as alleged in Mr. Wakeman's paper on the Town, Castle, and Priory of Usk) of his having been the grantee of the Lordship of Usk after the death of Turstin Fitz-Rolf, named in the passage we have quoted from Domesday, as the holder of lands between Usk and Wye, and beyond Usk, which were no doubt part of the for feited estates of Roger de Breteuil. It is far from clear, however, that Richard de Bienfaite was such grantee ; the fact seems to rest on an inspeximus charter of Elizabeth de Burgh, confirming a previous one of ' Comes Ricardus filius comitis Gilberti' (whom Mr. Wakeman identifies with Richard Strongbow), coupled with a rather loose statement in Dugdale and Tanner, that the nuns 'accounted Sir Richard de Clare and Sir Gilbert, his son, Earls of the Marches, for their founders, and prayed for them as such'. Certainly if there be no mistake as to the relationship of these founders to each other, and unless we shall see reason for attri buting the charter to a later period than any contemplated by Mr. Wakeman, they must have been Richard de Bienfaite and Gilbert of Tonbridge ; for their descendant, Richard Strongbow, the alleged grantor of the charter, was the son, but not the father, of a Gilbert ; and though Richard of Tonbridge was both the son and father of a Gilbert, his son, as we shall see presently, did not succeed to his estates in Gwent, and is not likely to have been a founder of Usk Priory. But there is room for suspecting that in naming the reputed founders in the order in which they may have appeared in the obituary calendar of the Priory, the mistake may have been 662 Additional Charters. [1182] 5342 {continued). made of transposing the names of father and son ; for if Richard Strongbow was the grantor of the charter, his ample grant, which, though he refers to gifts of his ancestors, bears no trace of being merely a confirmation charter, shews that if he was not prayed for as a founder, he ought to have been ; and that the nuns knew so little of their benefactors that their information is of little value. We may observe in passing that if the founders of Usk Priory are correctly identified with Richard de Bienfaite and Gilbert of Ton- bridge, here is again evidence of the latter being known as an earl. All this, however, rests on the assumption that the grantor of the charter has been satisfactorily identified with Richard Strongbow; but the sole evidence ofit is the name of one of the witnesses, his brother-in-law Raymond Fitz-William Fitz-Gerald, whom we shall have to mention again in the next chapter under the name of Ray mond le Gros. He is one of thirteen witnesses. Two others, Ralph and Walter Bloet, bear a surname, which, if Dugdale be correct in stating (Bar., i, 361) that Walter Bloet had a grant of Raglan from Earl Richard, son to Earl Gilbert, temp. Henry II (but the date and consequent identity of this Richard also are subject to verification1), might naturally occur among the witnesses to a charter from him or any lord of Usk of later date. The rest, with two notable exceptions, are either undistinguished and undistinguishable persons such as Geffrard the chaplain, and Nicholas the clerk, or bear names which, though unknown to the writer may enable future enquirers, better acquainted with the genealogy of the neighbour hood, to compare Mr. Wakeman's theory with that now proposed. The two exceptions alluded to are the Countess Isabel, and Isabel, her daughter. Who were they ? They were no connections of Richard Strongbow. The suggestion here offered, though admitted to be not free from difficulties, is that the grantor of the charter was Richard de Clare, sixth Earl of Hertford and second Earl of Gloucester of his family, who succeeded his father, Gilbert de Clare, in 1230, but did not attain his majority till at least seven years later2 — that the Countess Isabel was the grantor's mother, Isabel, third daughter of William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, and grand daughter of Richard Strongbow — that the other witness was his 1 Note by Mr. Marsh : This charter to Walter Bloet is mentioned by Mr. Clark in one of his papers on the Land of Morgan, printed since the above was written (Arch, four., xxxv, 330), and he assumes the grantor to have been Richard de Clare, first Earl of Hertford, and ancestor of the Earls of Gloucester. I have great confidence in the general accuracy of Mr. Clark, but like Homer, he occasionally indulges in the proverbial nap, and in the same page as that above cited, he makes Isabel, who married William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, the daughter of Richard, fourth Earl ot Hertford, whereas if there be a point which, beyond all others in the history of the family is free from doubt, it is that she was the daughter of Richard Strongbow. 2 Note by Sir John Maclean : According to Mr. Clark ("The Land of Morgan", Archaol. fournal, vol. xxxvi, p 117) he was born 4 August 1222, and therefore a little over eight years old at his father's death, 25 Oct. 1230, and consequently did not attain his majority until after his mother's death. Additional Charters. 663 [1182] 5342 {continued). sister, Isabel, who married Robert Bruce, the competitor with Baliol for the Scottish crown— and that Earl Gilbert, his son, correctly described as regards his relationship by the nuns of Usk, was Gilbert, seventh Earl of Hertford and third of Gloucester, father of Elizabeth de Burgh, the grantor of the confirmation charter." The following pedigree taken from the Complete Peerage will make the subject clearer : — Richard fitz Gilbert styled from his possessions de Bienfaite, de Clare and de Tonbridge, was son of Gilbert the count of Brienn in Normandy. He was born before 1035. He m. Rohaise d. of Walter Giffard. Died about 1090. Gilbert, styled also de Clare and de Tonbridge, lord of Clare. Son of the above.

The first attestor is Isabel, who we may presume was Richard's wife.1 The second Isabel is the earl's daughter who carried the earldom into the family of the Marshalls. Next come Ralph and Walter Bloet, both knights in the retinue of the earl. To sir Walter Bloet earl Richard is said to have conveyed the castle and manor of Raglan to be holden of him by knight's service as of his castle of Usk, in return for material assistance in the descent upon Ireland. Mr. Wakeman adds (ib., 308), " This sir Walter Bloet or Bluet was one of the younger sons of Bloet of Lacham in Wilts and Silchester ; his elder brother Ralph Bloet held the manor of Langstone in this county [of Monmouth]," no doubt also by grant of the earl. The manner in which a descendant of Ralph Bloet in his turn fulfilled his obligations towards his lord in the furnishing of men at arms is seen in Addit. Charter 1531 below.2 The next witnesses are 1 A difficulty arises here, as it is certain that Richard married the daughter of Dermot of Leinster, and we do not hear of the death of a previous wife, or even that he had been married. Richard's mother was named Isabel, and she, after the death of her husband Gilbert in 1 149, married Henry de Montmorency. If the countess Isabel of the charter was Richard's mother and not his wife, which seems the more probable conjecture, the document must have been executed before her second marriage, and presumably not long after 1 149 ; though as against this it should be noted that the second Isabel of the charter is described as daughter of the first, and this would only be literally true of earl Richard's wife and daughter. 2 Sir James Ramsay in The Angevin Empii'e, p. 260, and quoting as his authority R. Graystane's Hist. Dun. Scriptt. Tres., 35, mentions as one of the natural sons of Henry the Second " one Morgan, born of the wife of a knight, Ralph Bloet by name .... He was presumably the son of some Welsh lady." The undoubted possession by Ralph Bloet of estates in Gwent Iscoed lends some support to the story. To assist in further identifications the following notes on the early Bloets and Bendevilles are given. These two knightly houses were closely connected with the baronial family of Clare. Neither is found in Domesday, but both Robert Bloet and Richard de Bendeville are witnesses to a charter of the Conqueror to Durham (Monasticon, ed. Ellis, i, 241) ; and a chronicle of Bermondsey quoted by Dugdale (ib., v, 96) records that in 1093 Robertus Bloet cancellarius Regis was appointed bishop of Lincoln, and the same year gave the manor of Cherleton (near London) to the abbey of Bermondsey. We next find members of both families on the western estates of the Clares. Ralph Bluet gives Rodele to St. Peter's Gloucester in the time of abbot Serlo (1072-1104). Sir Walter Bloet (as mentioned by Mr. Wakeman) received the grant of Raglan from earl Richard and afterwards con veyed the tithes to the abbey of Lira in Normandy (Monasticon, vi, 2, 1095). Mr. Wakeman is also probably correct in the statement that Walter's elder brother Ralph obtained the manor of Langstone in co. Monmouth from one of the de Clares; at any rate Sir John Bloet held the manor in 15 Edw. I (see Addit. Charter 1531, ante). An intermediate Ralph Bloet was living in the time of bishop Geoffrey of St. David's (1203-1215), for he attests a charter of William Marshall to Monkton Priory, co. Pembroke (Monasticon, iv, 321). A Ralph Bloet, Additional Chatters. 665 [1182] 5342 {continued). Ralph de Bendeville, father and son, of whose connection with Gwent I can find no further trace. Then we get Baledon fitz Reginal, and in him I would see a second son of Reginald the grandson of Hamelin de Ballon, whose identity Mr. J. H. Round has done so much to elucidate (Studies in Peerage and Family History, 200). Should this prove correct, the association of Baladon fitz Reginald with the great house of Clare, whose baronial power was centered at Chepstow in Gwent Iscoed, seems to render it more probable that it was the tithes of [a part of] Gwent Iscoed, which were given by his great grandfather Hamelin to the latter's foundation of Abergavenny, and not the tithes of Gwent Uwchcoed, as suggested by Mr. Round (ib. 192). The next witness is Raymond fitz William fitz Gerald, and his name and presence, as Mr. Wakeman has observed, fixes the grantor of the charter, for Raymond was brother-in-law to earl Richard of Pembroke. The rest of the witnesses may be dismissed without further notice, save that Nicholas the cleric was evidently a man of considerable influence in the diocese of Llandaff in the middle of the twelfth century, as the name appears frequently to charters of that period in Mr. Clark's collection (see also Addit. Charter 7012, below) ; he became archdeacon of Llandaff. [1183] 5343. Grant by Ralph Bowlyers lord of Porscuet [co. Monmouth] to William Webbe of the same, alias Dyar, and Margaret his wife: Porscuet, 10 Oct. 22 Hen. VI [1443]. Latin. Seal indistinct. Messuage with curtilage and adjacent moor (mora) and seven acres land etc., late of Jeffekyn Herbard, of which the messuage, curtilage and moor lie to the south of the church of Porscuet Ralph his son, and Ralph son of Walter Bloet are witnesses to a grant of Petronilla Bloet wife of William de Feltham to Kington St. Michael priory, co. Wilts, where the family had also settled (ib., iv, 399). Of the Bendevilles an early grant to Walden abbey, co. Essex, is witnessed by W. Bendevill, a dependent of thede Clares in Essex (Monasticon, iv, 152). But the most prominent of the names in the entourage of the de Clares seems to have been Alured, who was contemporary with the earl Richard of the charter now under consideration. Amongst the charters in the Monasticon (Vi, 2, 807) to the order of St. John of Jerusalem is one of Richard fitz Roger de Clare, earl of Hertford (d. 1218) confirming (i.a.) the grant of Alured de Bendeville and Sibil his wife of the church of Chaureth to the Hospitallers. In the charter of Alured, which is set forth in full, he gives the church of Chaura and the land that was Roger Picot's pro anima Gilberti filii Ricardi et pro anima Ricardi filii Gilleberti et pro anima comitis Gilleberti et pro animabus patrum et matrum et parentum et amicorum et filiorum nostrorum Willelmi et Rog. et Gill., et pro salute domini nostri comitis Gilleberti de Clare. An Alured de Benneville witnesses an undated charter of Henry I to St. Dogmael's, to which Bernard bishop of St. David's (1115-1147) also subscribes; and a Ralph de Bendeville was sheriff of Pembroke circa 1190 (Giraldus Cambrensis, Rolls ed., iii, 214). vol. n.

Appointment by John Wysebech abbot, and the convent of Tintern, of Nicholas de Luca and Nicholas Russell de Strociis, merchants of Florence, as procurators for the repayment of monies to the conyent of Gloria in the diocese of Anagni (Italy); 30 Aug. 1395, and third indiction of the sixth year of the pontificate of pope Boniface. Witnessed by Stephen Dressour, Walter de Bercham and Laurence de Gower of the bishoprics of Llandaff and Hereford. Latin. The document gives the following interesting list of the members ofthe chapter present upon the occasion in question. Besides the abbot, there were Nicholas Ailmore prior, John Brokwere sub-prior, Walter Brugge cellarer, Richard Magor, William Newnam, Nicholas de Bristowe, Davyd Graunt, John Wynchestre, John Charvyle, Nicholas Jankyn, John Went, Reginald Dene, Richard de Bristowe and Henry de Bristowe. At the foot of the document (in the same hand) is the attestation of Richard Marleburgh cleric of the diocese of Wells, public notary. [12 1 7] 7698. Court Roll of the manor of Little Monmouth and Hodenake; Sunday next after the feast of the Assumption of the B.V.M., 19 Edw. Ill [1345]. Additional Charters. 68 1 [1217] 7698 {continued). This is an interesting roll. As nothing seems to have been published concerning this often mentioned mediaeval manor, it may be well to give the names of the members into which it was divided. The jurors of Hodenak came not ; therefore they are fined. „ Worthebruck make no presentment. „ Lannannar make no presentment. „ Rokevill1 present a lamb as the heriot of John Brie. „ Lancaddok2 present 3d. as the toll of one brewing. „ Osbertston make no presentment. Many of the names are Welsh. The facts recorded are : Johanna wife of Macy son of Robert impleads Nicholas Hany concerning a messuage in Osbertston ; adjourned for production of court roll. David ap Rhirid vaghan sues David Meillour for damage to grain (fnimentum) and there are cross allegations; both parties are fined. Katharine verch Adam Bate impleads Nicholas ap Ieuan ap Adam and Margaret his wife for unlawful intrusion; Nicholas appeals to the records of the court held the Sabbath next after the feast of the Purification of the B.V.M., 15th of the present king ; roll to be produced. Walter Garewy son of William gives \2d. for an inquisition if he be not next heir to Robert Waties his grand father; and by oaths of Richard Ffaucien, William Wisman, John Wisman, John Quarel, David Popard, Ieuan ap Grono, John Gilbert, May fil. Nicholas, Meurec ap Iorwerth, Grono le clerok, Wasmeir fil' William and Seicil de Lannannar it is found that Walter is the next heir of Robert. Then Elias Balyngter intervenes and alleges the following descent : Avicia was seized of the said lands ; from her Robert Waties, from him a certain Petronilla, from Petronilla Walter the claimant ; and Elias gives \2d. for an inquisition as to the descent of Robert from Avicia. The foot of the roll is torn and the last entry is unintelligible; it seems to relate to the dower of one Wenthliana. Dorse. William ap Hugyn pays 2s. 6d. for a swarm of bees, estrays (extrahuris) . William Weth and Angarat his wife accused of concealing, seven years ago, a swarm of estrayed bees ; they allege that they had been presented by the jury (jurata) of Lan caddok to the court tliere in the same year; and they afterwards ' There was a church at Rockville which is entered in the list of churches paying synodals in the Book of Llanddv (ed. Evans, 320) as Rokevyle, and in the Taxatio as Roukevile. Dugdale (Monasticon, ed. Ellis, iv, 596, No. 1) gives it as Bochevilla. The modern form is Rockfield. The saint invoked here was Kine phant as we learn from the bull of pope Urban III confirming the church of St. Kinephant of Rokevilla, with others, to the abbey of St. Florent at Saumur (Record Office Calendar of Documents : France, No. 1129). 2 No less than four Llancaddocks appear in the Book of Llanddv under the deanery of Abergavenny ; Llan Caddock Kellenny, LI. C [vibon] Auel, LI. C. juxta Usk and LI. C. Penros, of which the hamlet under Monmouth was probably the second named. Llan Annar seems to be quite unrecorded. vol. 11. m 682 Additional Charters. [i 217] 7698 {continued). bought the swarm for \6d. from the steward, and they appeal to the record ; they have a day. Nicholas Hany surrenders two acres land etc. to the use of Philip Macy, who pays 2s. for enrolment, and does service.

Hugh Huls (or Hulse) is one of the commissioners mentioned in the preceding article. John Hope was mayor of Chester in 1426-7. The preceding year he quit claimed to Elizabeth prioress of the nuns of Chester and her successors all right of action touching the detention of two chests of muniments relating to lands and tenements which were of Robert and Nicholas and of Henry the son of Robert de Parys. Soon after his election as mayor a writ was issued from the chancery of the palatinate to inquire if the said John was wholly Welsh, and whether he had purchased land in the city oi Chester contrary to the statute 2 Hen. IV which prohibited any Welshman from purchasing lands or tenements in the towns of Chester, Salop, Bridgnorth, Ludlow, Lempsteer, Hereford, Gloucester, Wircestre or in any other of the marches of Wales (Ch. Recog. Rolls). The result would seem to have been disastrous to John Hope, as we hear nothing further of him until 1444, when a writ was issued to the escheator to inquire of what lands etc. he had died seized. He had previously parted with some of his property, for William Troutbeck (see preceding article) is found in 1441 conveying a messuage in Bridge street, Chester, late of John Hope. 790 Additional Charters.

John Aldelym, no doubt a kinsman of Hugh, was rector of Beaumaris in 1489. The Maysterson and Marchumley families are associated in a deed of suretyship of the year 1465 to which Thomas Maistersone (probably the son of John) and John Marchumley senior (the John ofthe above document) were parties (Chester Recog. Rolls). There was also a William Maisterson who in 1476-7 is described as "late" of Wrixham, gentleman. The deed having been executed at Beaumaris the witnesses must have been either permanently or temporarily resident there. William Halley held the island of Anglesey as tenant-in-dower to queen Katharine, widow of Henry V. Thomas Dawson had been bailiff of the hundred of Nantwich. In 1445 he was associated in a commission with Sir John Mainwaring, Randal Maynwaryng senior, Ralph de Eggerton, Robert Fouleshurst, John Bromley, and John Rooper armiger, Ralph Maynwaryng junior, Thomas de Wilberham, John son of John de Wetenhale, Richard Meistreson, John Meistreson, Thomas Meistreson, Roger Praers, Ralph Daykyn, Richard Wildbore and John Wetenhale, to arrest all disturbers of the peace in the hundred of Wich-Malbank (Nantwich).

Proceedings in the court of Arches respecting the right to the patronage of the church of Llanymynach (co. Montgomery); c. 1277. Latin. This is a fragment consisting of one membrane of what was probably a detailed report of the proceedings in the court of Arches in the matter of the dispute between the widow of John fitz Alan (III) and the bishop of St. Asaph respecting the advowson of the church of Llanymynech. On the death of John fitz Alan on the 18th March, 1272, the patronage of this church was assigned to his widow, Isabella de Mortimer, as part of her dower. Eyton (Hist. Shropshire, x, 354) adds " It appears that Anian (II), bishop of St. Asaph, deeming the advowson of Llanymyneich to belong to his see, contested the same with Isabella de Mortimer, and, though a suit in the Curia Regis was decided against him, he appealed to the Pope, and refused to admit Isabella de Mortimer's presentee. King Edward I, in a writ of his 10th year (1281-2), met the bishop's refusal by an order on his sheriff of Shropshire to distrain upon his goods. The immediate result does not appear, save that the Taxation of 1291 divides the church of Lanemeneych (in the deanery of Marchia and diocese of St. Asaph) into a Rectory worth £7 6s. 8d. and a Vicarage worth £3 6s. 8d. per annum." It would appear that the bishop's position was not (as Eyton puts it) so much that the advowson of Llanymynech belonged to the see of St. Asaph (for he must have known that upon this point he could not hope to gainsay the easily proved facts to the con trary), as that the right of presentation to the church could not be exercised by Isabella de Mortimer, John fitz Alan's widow, as tenant in dower. Nothing is said by Eyton about proceedings in the court of Arches, and as he gives no date for the suit in the Curia Regis, it is impossible to say whether the latter was heard prior or subsequent to the proceedings in the ecclesiastical court, or whether one has not been confused with the other by the scribe of the index to the Red Book of St. Asaph, which is Eyton's sole authority. Probably, however, the proceedings here set forth were consequent upon bishop Anian's appeal to the pope. 800 Additional Charters. [1640] 53706 (continued). The document now in question, which appears to be the oldest surviving record of the proceedings of the court of Arches, is the second or third membrane of a collection made up of several, and was doubtless preceded by the writ of the archbishop of Canterbury to the dean of Arches to hear the dispute. The first hearing mentioned upon this membrane was fixed for the sitting of the court on Saturday next before [? after] the feast of S. Peter in Cathedra 22 Feb. 127IJ. The appellant was John de Maurton priest, no doubt the presentee of Lady Isabella, for whom Humphrey St. Martin cleric, acted as procurator; the bishop was represented by Stephen de Montgomery cleric, as his procurator. Finally, after repeated adjournments, at a sitting of the court held on the fourth day after the octave of Holy Trinity, certain articles were placed before the court by the procurator of John de Maurton as the findings after inquisition of a body of upright men. Of these articles twelve are given upon the membrane now under notice. The single fragment of the record that has survived here comes to an end, and we are consequently left in the dark as to whether the articles extended further,1 and the upshot of the proceedings. The articuli affirmed (1) that the manor of Oswestry (B lancmoster) and the neighbouring territory belonged to John fitz Alan the third, (2) that the vill of Tlanimenach is in the demesne (dominico) of Blancmoster and is appurtenant to a certain member or part of the said manor, (3) that the vill of Tlanimenach with advowson of the church, are of the said vill or lordship (dominium), and that the church is within the territory or bounds ofthe said lordship, (4) that John fitz Alan the third, and his ancestors, have been patrons of the said church from time immemorial, (5) that this is of common knowledge in the district of Tlan', (6) that the said John fitz Alan the third was accustomed to present clerics to the bishop of St. Asaph on the occasion of vacan cies in Tlan', and that the bishop was accustomed to induct the same, (7) that the predecessors of John fitz Alan having the right of patronage, were accustomed to present to the said church during a vacancy in the see of St. Asaph, (8) that those so admitted and instituted were continued in peaceful possession by the bishop, (9) that this was a matter of common knowledge in the district, (10) that John fitz Alan the second, father of John fitz Alan the third, had presented Geoffrey le Veer cleric, to the diocesan, (11) that the diocesan had refused to admit the said Geoffrey, who thereupon obtained judgment in his favour from a competent judge, (12) that Geoffrey was accordingly presented, and possessed the church.

Cpmmrotrorton j&ecorti Series. /-"'¦<•* ',..,', ; FIRST PROSPECTUS. The idea pf the; publication of Welsh Records^ whieh had for some time occupied the thoughts of leading .Welsh Scholars, took a definite and practical shape at the meeting of the eyrumMdorion Section of the. National Eisteddfod held at Brecon in 1889. In the papiers. which were read at that meeting it was shown that a vast quantity of material- necessary for understanding the history of Wales still remained buried in public and -priyate Libraries, and. also that such of the. Welsh Chronicles as had "been given to (he wpr}d had. been' edited in a manner which had not fulfilled the requirements of 'inbderit scholarship. . As it appeared that the Government declined to undertake any further publica tion .of purely Welslr Records, it was suggested by Sir John Williams that the Council of the Cymmrodorion Society should take the work in hand, and establish a separate fund for that purpose; The Council are of opinion that a work of this magnitude cannot be left to private * enterprise; although they thankfully acknowledge the indebtedness of all Welshmen tosuch men as Mr. 6. T. Clark of Talygarn, the Rev. Canon Silvan Evans, iMr. J. iGw.enogfryp" Evans, Mr. Owen Edwards,; Mr. Egerton Phijlimore, and Pro fessor John Rhys,:atid thejh fully appreciate the valuable work done by members of thevarious Antiquarian Societies. . . Private enterprise has enabled the Cpiincil toissue, without cost tothe Society, the ¦ f first niimfcer.pf the. Series which -they have undertaken.' The edition i of Qwefis Pem brokeshire, twoparts of which have already been issued), is the result to Mr. Henry Owen— a member ofthe Society's Council— of long and arduous labour, and , of an expenditure of a sum of money which would enable: any patriotic Welshman who follipiws that example to present similar numbers of -the proposed Series to his Qountry- men. . ,- , ^ . ..- ¦-.'"'' - , ¦¦¦.• ^¦¦'~ '¦'- _The second number of the Series consists of Recordsr from, the Ruthin Court Rolls (a.d. 1294- 5), edited by Mr. R.

These publications "will, the Council -trust, go far to remove f rpiri;the Principality the dishPnlour of being the only nation .in Europe which' iswithoitt anything, approachlrig^to a scilijtific history. ¦'¦;' .-_'.;' : It is, hoped! to issue ! annually one number. of? the Series;; The cost of each num- ;' ber wiU.At "is anticipated, be about £250. To. ensure "a boritihuity. of publication*; it is necessary to form a Permanent Capital Fund, and this the Society of Cymmrodorion 'have, resolved to do. This ;Fuhd, of which Sir Johii Williams, Bart., Sir W. Thomas Lewis, Bart., and Mr. Henry Owen, F.S.A., arethe Trustees;; will be under ther . controT;ia contribution Jwhich they* trust a large accession of membersto the ranks of the, Society will^peedily. enable, them to a,ugmpnt. ',-..., '<' T The Council eonfidently appeal to all Welshmen for sympathy and help in this really national enterprise. Welshmen are proverbially proud of the antiquities; of their land. To pUce the record of ffc.hese antiquities within the reach of every Welsh student-jn an accurate and intelligible form, and to. enable him to understand the growth of the national and individual life, is a wark, which should unite all Welsh men -fpr the benefit of their' countrymen, .and for the honour of Wales.' ... ¦'=-', ' BUTE, President. .' , ' \ ¦ . ¦- . ¦¦ E- VINCENT EVANS, Secretary, CYMMRODORION LitiBA'RX, '; •_¦-''..
