Description
Petitioners
David ap Grono.
Name(s)
ap Grono, David

King.
Nature of request
David ap Grono requests grace and aid as the king granted him 100s. of land in Rudry and Llanfedw to hold during the wardship of Morgannwg but Bren took the land and put one of his tenants in it, and during the war Bren imprisoned him and the lands were wasted, and because of the costs he has been put to to the king's profit and for the debts he has from the time of Badlesmere and Turberville he will be forced to sell his land.
Nature of endorsement
Concerning the £20 from the time of Badlesmere the king is not able to give grace etc. because Badlesmere is charged with the same to the king.Concerning to the residue from the time of Turberville, let it be ordered to Turberville that he certify the king of that exaction and the manner of that exaction etc., and in the meantime the levy is to be superseded.

Note
According to Rees, Petitions Relating to Wales, pp. 183-4, the petition dates to c. 1316 as it refers to the capture of Llewelyn Bren, Bren surrendering on the 20 March 1316. Badlesmere and Turberville served as keepers from 24 June 1314-29 September 1315 and 8 July 1315-20 April 1316 respectively, and the petition clearly refers to a time after their terms.
