Scope and content
The series comprises a collection of deeds, each in its own individual presentation box. The deeds include a grant of free warren, 1616, a royal pardon to William Morgan of Dderw, 1644, appointments as lord lieutenant, custos rotulorum and advocate general, 1702-1933, grants of arms, 1779-1792, licences to take new surnames, 1787-1792, and grants of the rank of baronet, 1702, and viscount, 1905. -- The great seal is attached to the letters patent and most of the appointments. The armorial seals of Garter and Clarenceux kings of arms are attached to the grants of arms, and a broken and crudely repaired seal of the Duchy of Lancaster is attached to the 1761 appointment as steward of the Three Castles.
