XXVI. On a Deed of Gift to the Abbey of Ystrad Marchell: Communicated by Samuel Rush Meyrick, Esq. LL. D. and F.S.A. in a Letter to Henry Ellis, Esq. F.R.S. Secretary

Abstract

About twenty years ago I copied a transcript, made as long previous, from an original Deed of Gift by Wenwynwyn the son of Owain Cyveiliawg, a Powysian Prince, to the Abbey of Ystrad Marchel in the year 1201, at that time in the possession of a Mr. Edward Herbert, of Montgomery. Whether it be still preserved by his family or what has been its fate, perhaps some of our Members connected with the Principality may know, but on that head I am in utter ignorance. I regret, therefore, that what I am able to send you is incomplete, wanting the final clause and attestation.
