| Description | by Rees ap Meredith ap Tudur, heir to all the lands and tenements of Meredith ap Tudur lying in a wele called Gwely Trahaiarn ap Bleddyn in the lordship of Cornwylan, and by Gwilym ap Griffith ap Ievan ap Llewelyn, heir to all the lands of Griffith ap Ievan ap Llewelyn lying in 2 weles called Gwely de le More and Gwely de la Conus in the same lordship, to Henry, Bishop of Bangor, of their right and title to an island called St Daniel Isle alias Ynys Moelronyn [sic., not Moelrhoniaid or Molronyed] lying in the sea near Cornwylan. This Bishop of Bangor was named Henry Dean or Denny who occupied the see from 1496 to 1500, when he was promoted first to Salisbury, and later to be Archbishop of Canterbury. Browne Willis (Bangor, 95) refers to this very transaction by which he recovered for the bishopric the Island of Seals. It is another matter to square this document with BHILL/1500 |
