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.

Ralph de Lahee son of William Ketel has granted and by this his present charter confirmed to God and the church of the Blessed Mary of Stratmarchell and to the abbot and monks of the Cistercian Order who serve God for ever there and to their successors, for the salvation of his soul and those of his parents and successors, the whole land called Bahcwilim, with all its bounds and appurtenances, in wood and plain, in waters and meadows, which he, because of his need, sold to Ieuahf son of Grifud son of Ioruerht and to his heirs in everlasting possession, and which Madoc son of Iorerht, his maternal uncle, and his three sons, namely, Ioruerht, Grifud, Maredud and Einion (Anianus) son of Grifud, and his nephews, namely, the two sons of the said Ieuahf, by his (i.e. Ralph's) voluntary licance, consent and desire, had sold to the same abbot and monks of Stratmarchell, to be had, held and possessed by them and their successors, freely, quietly and honourably for ever, without any claim, molestation, impediment, exaction, secular custom or annoyance on his part or on that of his heirs, as the said men have ever had the same land more completely and more freely from him. So that neither he nor his heirs will have or will be able to have any counter-claim or claim or exaction concerning the aforesaid land against the afore-mentioned abbot or monks or their successors, he gives it, promises it to them peacefully and quietly, and protects it, if two pairs of spurs are kept for him and his heirs annually on the feast of Petrus ad Vincula (1 August) by the aforesaid abbot and monks instead of all feudal service, exaction and demand. But in return for this concession and voluntary licence, the oft-mentioned abbot and monks on their part have given him six shillings and eight pence and the other afore-named men on their part have given him six shillings and eight pence. So that this gift of his might be ratified and firm for ever, he has strengthened and confirmed it in the year of grace 1234 both with the impression of his seal and the attestation of good men.

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.

Anian, bishop of St Asaph, commands, instructs, and for the remission of sins, enjoins all the clergy and laity (archdeacons, deacons, presbyters, clerks, princes, barons, knights and all laymen) to keep, maintain, and protect all things and possessions of the brothers of Stratmarchell in such a way that none cause them or permit to be caused them any annoyance, injustice, loss or trouble, and that they should not omit to display the monks without delay the justice that concerns them. If any of the laity in any way presume to dispute, by rash daring, this salubrious prohibition, the clergy (archdeacons, deacons, deans and priests) should diligently warn the wrongdoers and unjust persecutors so that they may restore to the said brothers stolen goods, make good damages caused, and show full justice, but should they have contempt for the clergy's warnings, the latter are to bind the laity with the chain of excommunication without any favour or fear, and are diligently to have them excommunicated and avoided by all until worthy satisfaction be given. The rest they are to suspend from their office, and Annian shall, on God's authority, hold both sentences firmly ratified while they shall ensure in all these things, carefully and diligently, so that the aforesaid brothers shall not be obliged, from default of justice, to labour in the bishop's presence. Neither shall they fear to be summoned by the supreme judge for the neglect of the office bestowed upon them nor shall they be punished by the bishop for their disobedience.

John de Cherleton, lord of Powis, gives, grants and confirms to William, abbot of Stratamarchell, and the convent of the same place, their right to hold a court of all their tenants which they have held by their steward from three weeks to three weeks or for a greater period since the time of the foundation of the abbey until Griffith, late abbot, was unjustly deprived of the right by the servants of John de Cherleton, the grantor's grandfather, without his knowledge. The right includes cognizance of pleas of contracts and agreements within their lands, of debts and destraining of chattels to the value of forty shillings, of petty trespasses and striking of hands where there is no mortal wound or breaking of bones, attachements both of foreigners and the abbey's own tenants committing trespasses in their corn and meadows, and of taking amerciaments, taxed by good and legal men of the said abbot and convent, but saving to the lord and his heirs pleas of error, false-judgement and attainder.
