Note (Additional information about the record)
- The two periods when this petition could be submitted would be when Roger de Mortimer of Chirk, Justice of Wales, was succeeded between 1315 and November 1316 by a Justice of North Wales, and after November 1330, when Roger de Mortimer of Wigmore, Justice of Wales, was again succeeded by a Justice of North Wales. It is perhaps slightly more likely that it relates to the earlier period, as Petitions Relating to Wales pp.241-2 thinks.There were at least three places beginning 'Tre Feibian' on Anglesey (Tre Feibian Maelog, Tre Feibian Meurig (Treban Meurig) and Tre Feibian Pyll (Treban Pyll)), and it is impossible to know which is concerned here. Rees' link to Tre Feibian Meurig is purely speculative.
