et seq. Note that the Earl of Gloucester preferred to cede to the King the temporalities of the See of Llandaff during its vacancy, rather than acknowledge, by contesting the matter in the Royal Courts, the King's power over the Marcher Lordship of Glamorgan and Morganwg.

et seq. It seems to have been deemed fitting for King Edward's Welsh army to muster on the territory of the Bishop at Llandaff, rather than at the infant Earl's town of Cardiff. Probably also, these troops proceeded from Penarth by sea to Winchelsea.

The ancient practice with regard to the probate of Wills in the diocese of Llandaff is not stated quite accurately. Before 1857, Wills were proved and kept at other places besides the Bishop's Court at Llandaff; as, for instance, at Usk and Christchurch in the county of Monmouth. On the abolition of the old episcopal and "peculiar" jurisdictions, the Wills were transferred from these various depositories to the Llandaff Probate Registry. At Llandaff
the Wills were kept in the room over the Chapter House—where the Bishop's Transcripts of the Parish Registers are still preserved. |

The Bellhouse at Llandaff was an ancient and lofty tower standing on the slope south-west of the cathedral, close to Llandaff Green. It originally held a huge and famous bell. Some remains of the building still exist, at the back of an inn on the north-east side of Llandaff Green. |

No. 1097. It should be stated that Mr. John Stuart Corbett has a copy of the documents in the action against the Earl of Pembroke for levying royalties, which concludes with judgment in favour of his right to do so. One effect of this judgment seems to have been to justify the Earl's contention that Senghenydd, Miscin etc. were each of them a Lordship Marcher in itself. It is a fact that the Lords of Cardiff Castle did exercise such marcher rights as the levying of mises and the taking of deodands. So late as the 18th century, the Lord took £5 the value of a deodand—a piece of iron whereby a man had been killed at Melyngriffith. In the middle of the same century a mise was levied on the death of (it is believed) the Viscountess Windsor. It was proposed to levy a mise on the death of Lord Bute, in the year 1814; but it was found that the cost of the assessment and collection would be greater than the sum raised. |

The Rev. Theodore Price was sequestered by the Commonwealth, and was sought after to be hanged; but he escaped to Bristol in disguise. He had then eight children. When, under Charles II., he was restored to his living, he had twelve children. "He was a very good scholar and a man of excellent life." John Morgan, an Anabaptist, succeeded him after the ejectment. The Rev. F. Davies, of Pentyrch, was also sequestered. (Walker, "Sufferings of the Clergy.") |

At the Cardiff Free Library are two MS. volumes of Consistory Records, one of which (Phillips, No. 23760) contains a large number of documents relating to an action arising out of a dispute between Mr. William Lambert and Mr. Michael Richards as to which of them was duly elected Churchwarden of St. John's, Cardiff. Thomas Morgan was Lambert's attorney. |
