Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated to 1278-1282 by Petitions Relating to Wales p.441, yet the related petitions would seem to be from the same Llywelyn described here as Emma's son, who seems to be very much alive until at these dates. This petition is therefore tentatively dated to c. 1285.
