LIBER NIGER DE WIGMORE EARLY 14 CENT THIS well-known volume, though in the main intended as a press-list to the deeds and evidences of the Abbey of Wigmore, contains full copies of many of the documents. These are arranged according to the particular abbatial properties to which they relate, and as the convent had estates in Wales-Chirk-land- the commotes of Gwarthreinion and Maelienydd, in Kerry (co. Montgomery) and at Usk, as well as, of course, at other places along the Welsh border, a number of the documents have direct relation to Wales. The Chirk-land entries are at ff. 49-50 b, and those connected with Gwarthreinion and Maelienydd at if. 57-59 b. The first entry in this section is the transcript of a release by Llewelyn ap Griffith ap Llewelyn,1 quondam princeps North Wallise to Ralph Mortimer and Gladus his wife, of all his lands in those commotes. The witnesses are John Lestrange, Walter de Clifford, Thomas Corbet, Brian de Brompton, Henry de Mortimer, Phillip de Mortimer, Ralph de Araco, Godred fil. regis Mannhe, Tudor ap Madoc, Kynwrick Leys, Eygnon ap Cradoc cum multis aliis. The deeds of the Kerry, Cedewen and Cwmdauddwr estates come at if. 67-68 b; those relating to Presteignat if. 69 b 70; those relating to Elvael, LTwchmynydd and Builth at if. 71-72, and those relating to Usk at if. 86-89. 1 An error for Llewelyn ap Iorwerth.
