| Teitl | Release by John Wyn ap Meredydd of Gwydyr to William Bulkeley, merchant, and Hugh ap Meredydd, gentlemen, as feofees in trust, of all his messuages and tenements in Gwydyr, Bettws, Penmachno,Llenfair [Isgaer], Treflen, Rug [Llanrug?], Botandreg, Bangor, Penyfed, &c. for his own use during his natural life, and after his death, to the use of his son Morris [father of Sir Joh- Wynn] and his legitimate heirs by Jane, daughter of Sir Richard Bulkeley [first]. |
| Disgrifiad | The two feofees are somewhat problematic, William the merchant was probably Sir Richard's brother and later founder of the Porthamel branch. Hugh ap Meredydd was, almost certainly, brother of the feoffor John, but there is no such name in the Gwydyr table (Pedigrees, 280-1), among the sons of Meredydd ap Ifan (and he married three times). On the following day (26 January), John Wyn vests in the same feofees, to the same intent, purpose, and use, his lands in Llanfrothen, Llandecwyn, Ffestiniog, and Llanfihangel. Before this, on 12 January,1551-2, he had confirmed to Morris and Jane, as Jane's jointure [apparently], particular tyddynod indiscriminately spread over his wide inheritance, and had named William B, and Hugh ap M. as lawful attorneys to give possession of them. The names of these tyddynod are more than usually interesting, together with the full Welsh names of the sitting tenants |
