Arbitration issued by Gauthier d'Ochles,

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.

In the same manner, he gives the said monks the whole land which is between Corfh and Enniaun, so that no other monks shall have in it any use, or any common or proprietorship, except the monks of Stratmarchell.

Judgement of Maredudd ap Rhobert,

Judgement of Maredud, son of Robert, lord of Kedewig, appointed by Prince Lewelin, lord of Wales, to decide the controversy moved between the heirs of Hirarht and Deupiw and those who are called fetonieht, who reclaimed the said lands against these heirs. At the peremptory day and lawful place, namely Landinan, before wise and the best men the reclaim of those called fetanieht and their challenge was, by right and justly and justly determined and settled. At the time there was offered them the judgement of good men called deduriht, but they refused, knowing that by this they would come to nothing. Afterwards they consented that twenty four of the best men of the province of Arwistli should come to decide on their challenge, if they had any right to the said lands. All these best men were sworn publicly, if they knew of their right to the said lands, namely their reclaim in that cause, then they ought to seek right again by the decision of the wise men. The wise men of Arwistli, who conducted the proceedings, namely, Kenher, son of Kadugan, Ioab, son of Ioruerht, of Kedewig, and Idneuet, son of Goronui, Ioruerht Pastan, and other wise and discrete men from other provinces who judged them, namely the fetanihet, not to be the heirs of the said lands, with their stock, for ever. When those who are called fehanihet saw that their right was failing on every side, they withdrew defeated in law. But in the days of Howel, son of Ioab, those fetanihet were deprived of right and justly of those lands. The witnesses of this were: Ioruerht, dean, son of Howel, and Cuneda, his brother, the two sons of Owin Brihtir, namely David and Owin, the two sons of Ioruerht, namely Einniaun and Grifri, Mil, son of Ithael, Madauc Tanhur, the three sons of Grifud, son of Kadugan, namely Meilir, Seisehll, Ioruerht, Grifud, son of Meilir, Adam, son of Ioruerht, Gorgeneu, son of Glasadein, Enir Uates, Kediuor, son of Iohannis, Peredur, son of Ioruerht, Grifud son of Ioab.

Judgement of Maredudd ap Rhobert,

Judgement of Mareduth, son of Rhobert, lord of Kedeweinc, on the controversies which arose between Gurgeneu and Benuen and Madoc, Ieuaf, and David, sons of Griffud Hyruein, and Caradoc, son of Grifri, and Ithael and Ioruerd, sons of Kefnerth, son of Gwin and others their coheirs of the one part and the men called fettaneit on the other, concerning the lands called Deupiu and Hirard, which were thus determined and settled. Lewelin, son of Ioruerd, lord of Arwistili, fixed an appointed day for all the said men at Llandinan that there, by the arbitration of good men, knowing the truth of that land the matter should be settled. But because Lewelin could not be present at that meeting he appointed him (Mareduth) in his place in that cause. Accordingly there came together, at the appointed day and place, many men, as well from Kedeweinc as from Arwistili. The men called fettaneit claimed no inheritance in the said lands, namely Deupiu and Hirard. At their request twenty four arbitrators, who are called in the Welsh language datuerwer, of the better men of Arwistili were accepted. They having discussed the truth of this cause diligently and prudently, arbitrated there, namely at Llandinan, that the men called fetteneit had nothing and ought to have nothing in the said lands, namely Deupiu and Hirard. After this was done there was discussion on that arbitration, and it was again adjudged that those men, namely, fetteneit were entirely disjudged from the lands for eternity. All these aforesaid things were done in the sight of good men whose names are underwritten. These are those who were present: John, son of Kenewreic, priest of Llandinan, Griffud, his son, Kenir, son of Cadugaun, abbot of Llandinan, Einniaun, son of Kenuelin, Gurgeneu the Little, ‘sengennab’ Llandinam, Ioruerd, son of Hewel, dean of the land, two stewards of Lewelin, Madoc Tanur and Einniaun, son of Edenewein, Eeinniaun and Grifri, sons of Ioruerd, son of Gurgeneu, bailiffs of that land, Cadugaun, son of Griffud, Griffud Coic, son of Griffud Carno, Miles, son of Ithael, Kediuor, son of John, Mareduth, son of Knetha, Griffud, son of Meilir, Griffud, son of Ieuuaf, Madoc Goch, Gurgeneu, son of Clasadein, Ithael, son of Karadoc. In addition these good men of Kedewein were present: Heilin, son of Hoideleu, David Coch, Ioruert Bochan, clerk, Cadugaun, son of Ioruerd, Ideneuet, son of Goronui, Einniaun, son of Budrihossan. And so all claim was lost on that day of the men who are called fetteneit, entirely for all time, concerning the said lands. So that the said judgement should remain ratified and stable for ever, without any reclaim, Maredud has corroborated the present writing with his seal.
