Reference
SC 8/238/11857
Date
[? c. 1309]
Description
Petitioners
Iorwerth ap Llywelyn ap Adam, Hywel Gruffudd ap Adam Howel (Hywel) ap Adam, heirs of Adam ap David (Dafydd) of Merioneth.
Name(s)
ap Llywelyn ap Adam; Gruffudd ap Adam Howel (Hywel) ap Adam, Iorwerth; Hywel
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
The petitioners state that their fathers died in the time of Llywelyn, Prince of Wales, and before the conquest and in time of war, and that their lands were extended at their true value. Afterwards the King pardoned this extent to those who had died fighting him in his wars in Wales, and granted them to their heirs on better terms. Now, however, the King's bailiffs and ministers are constraining them to pay the customary extent that their fathers paid, and also the excessive one. They request a suitable remedy.
Nature of endorsement
They are to come to the Exchequer with the Chamberlain on the morrow of All Souls, where the same Chamberlain will then be concerned with their account, and they will be answered.
Places mentioned
Merioneth, Wales.
People mentioned
Adam ap David (Dafydd) of Merioneth
Llywelyn [ap Gruffudd], Prince of Wales.
Note
Perhaps another of the petitions formerly enclosed with CCW 1244-1326 p.297, which is dated 18 September 1309? A note on the guard claims that it is. Petitions Relating to Wales pp.395-396 dates the petition to the reign of Edward I or to 1307-1309, but without adequate reason. A date of c. 1309 seems reasonable with regard to the hand. From their endorsements, SC 8/238/11858, SC 8/238/11859 and SC 8/238/11861 would seem to be contemporary with this petition.
