Brother G., abbot of the Cistercian Order and the entire assembly of the abbots of the General Chapter have revoked by their mandate the arbitration of the abbots H[oytlev] of Whitland, A[dam] of Dore , and K[enweryc] of Kayrlyon in a cause pending between the houses of Pool and Cumhyr, by which all things were to be restored to their former status; twenty-one pounds was to be given to the abbot and assembly of Pool by the abbot and assembly of Cumhyr; if either of the parties approached the secular arm against the other party to prevent it from enjoying the possessions adjudged to it, it was to be punished by the authority of the highest order, and if it failed to regain its sense, the arbitrators were to report the matter to the General Chapter following. This was done in the year 1226. By authority of this command, the cause was indicated and after various altercations, the suit was finally settled by compromise between the arbitrators. The arbitrators report that G[oronwy], abbot of Pool, and A., abbot of Cumhyr, appeared with some fifty persons from the seniors and counsellors of their respective houses and compromised for the arbitrators, abbots H[oytlev] of Whitland, K[enweryc] of Kayrlyon, P. of Stratflur, and subpriors S. of Dore and A. of Kayrlyon, P. of Stratflur, and subpriors S. of Dore and A. of Kayrlyon, to stand by their arbitration under penalty of a hundred marks to be paid by one party to the other. This arbitration made 15 July 1227 at Radnor, is that the whole land which belongs to the monks between Luyth and Buga upwards from the moor which is upon Peruet Menith shall be divided through the middle lengthwise as long as it endures, whether towards Pemlumon or towards any other place, so that it may be divided between the two houses, and that the moiety which is towards Luyth shall remain to Pool and from that moiety Cumhyr shall possess the entire lands of Cumbuga and Blayn Guy within their boundaries. As for the land between Chorw and Eyanun, Cumhyr is to have that part which is in Ceredigion and Pool that part which is in Keueyllauc. Of the twenty-one pounds formerly received for Cumbuga and now adjudged through the General Chapter to the house of Pool, the monks of Pool are to have two parts and the monks of Cumhyr one third. Whosoever of the monks or laymen will have striven to refute this form of peace shall be banished from their particular houses to remote houses outside Wales and shall not be readmitted except through permission of the General Chapter, and whosoever will have concealed some instrument which might further this composition or will absent themselves from the rest except by the consent of the father abbot shall be excommunicated. This form of composition was read in the chapter houses of both houses and was not contradicted.
