both of England and Wales upon the breach of the Articles of Peace and that you would be pleased to inform the King of the sad Consequence of another War which can no way be prevented but by using us according to the Conditions of the former Peace which for our part we will in no measure transgress But if the King will not hearken to your Counsel we hope that you will h●ld us excused if the Nation be disquieted and troubled thereupon which as much as in us lieth we endeavour to prevent King Edward would admit of no Excuse no● hearken to any manner of Reason in the case but was unmercifully enraged and conceived an unpardonable displeasure against Prince Lhewelyn which yet he thought convenient to conceal and dissemble for a time Indeed he could never abide Lhewelyn ●●nce the time that he was vanquished and put to ●ight by him at the Marches so that the chief Cause ●f King Edward's anger originally proceeded from 〈◊〉 point of Honor which this refusal of Homage ●●rved sufficiently to increase But to prosecute his Revenge which upon this score is in Princes very ●erce and unforgetful in a short time he came to ●hester meaning to recover by force what he could ●ot obtain by fair means From hence he sent to ●●e Prince of Wales requiring him to come over and 〈◊〉 him Homage which Lhewelyn either absolutely re●●sing or willingly detracting to do King Edward ●ade ready his Army to force him to it But there A.D. 1277 ●●ppened an Accident which took off a great part of ●rince Lhewelyn's stubborness for at this time the ●ountess of Leicester the Widow of Simon Montfort ●ho lived at Montargis a Nunnery in France sent over 〈◊〉 Wales her Daughter the Lady Eleanor whom ●hewelyn extreamly loved with her Brother Aeme●ke to be married to the Prince according to the A●reement made in her Father Earl Montfort's time ●ut Aemerike fearing to touch upon the Coast of ●ngland steered his course towards the Islands of ●cilly where by the way they were all taken by four ●ristol Ships and brought to King Edward who re●eived the Lady very honourably but committed her ●●other Prisoner to the Castle of Coff whence he was ●fterward removed to the Castle of Shirburne The ●ing having obtained this unexpected Advantage over ●hewelyn began boldly to fall upon him and so di●●ding his Army into two Battalions led one himself ●●to North-Wales and advanced as far as Ruthlan where he strongly fortified the Castle The other he ommitted to Paganus de Camurtiis a great Souldier ●ho entring into West-Wales burned and destroyed 〈◊〉 great part of the Country But the People of South-Wales fearing that his next Expedition was levelled ●gainst them voluntarily submitted themselves to the ●ing and did him Homage and then delivered up●●●he Castle of Ystratywy to Paganus Prince Lhewelyn hearing of this and finding his own Subjects to forsake him but more especially being desirous to recover his espouse the Lady Eleanor thought it likewise advisable to submit and therefore sued to King Edward for a Peace who granted it but upon very severe Conditions upon Lhewelyns side The Agreement consisted of ten Articles which were 1. That the Prince should set at liberty all manner of Prisoners that upon the King's Account were detained in Custody 2. That for the King's favour and good will he should pay 50000 Marks to be received at the King's pleasure 3. That these four Cantreds or Hundreds viz. Cantref Ros where the King's Castle of Teganwy stands Ryfonioc where Denbigh Tegengl where Ruthlan Dyffryn Clwyd where Rhuthyn stands should remain in the King's hands 4. That the Lords Marchers should quietly enjoy all the Lands they had conquered within Wales excepting in the Isle of Anglesey which was wholly granted to the Prince 5. That in consideration of this Island the Prince should pay 5000 Marks in hand with the reserve of a 1000 Marks yearly to begin at Michaelmas and in case the Prince died without Issue the whole Island should return to the King 6. That the Prince should come every year to England to pay his Homage to the King for all his Lands 7. That all the Barons of Wales excepting five in Snowden should hold their Lands and Estates of the King and no other 8. That the Title of Prince should remain only for his Life and not descend to his Successors and after his Death the five Lords of Snowden should hold their Lands only from the King 9. That for the performance of these Articles the Prince should deliver up for Hostages ten Persons of the best Quality in the Country without imprisoning disinheriting and any time of redemption determined And farther that the King should chuse Twenty Persons within North-Wales who besides the Prince should take their Oaths for the due performance of these Articles and in case the Prince should swerve and recede from them and upon admonition ●hereof not repent they should forsake him and be●ome his Enemies 10. The Prince was obliged to ●uffer his Brethren quietly to enjoy their Lands in Wales whereof David for his Service was dubbed Knight by the King and had the Earl of Derby's Widow given him in Matrimony and with her as 〈◊〉 Portion the Castle of Denbigh in North-Wales be●ides a 1000 Pounds in Lands His other Brother Roderic was lately escaped out of Prison into England ●nd the younger called Owen was upon his Composition delivered out of Prison King Edward having imposed these severe and unmerciful Conditions upon Prince Lhewelyn and for a better security for the performance of them built a Castle at Aberystwyth returned very honourably into England upon whose arrival the People willingly granted him a Subsidy of the Twentieth part of their Estates towards his Charges in this War But it seems very probable that Prince Lhewelyn submitted to these intolerable Conditions more upon the account of his Amours and to regain the Lady Eleanora out of the King of England's hand than that he was apprehensive of any considerable Danger he might receive by the English Troops For it is hardly conceivable that a Prince of such notorious Conduct and Valour would so easily accept of such hard Terms and in a measure deliver up his Principality when there was no necessity so to do without resisting an Enemy whom he had frequently overcome and forced to retire back with greater inequality than the English had at present over him But the force of ●ove worked Wonders and in this case proved mo●t irresistible which to obtain Lhewelyn did not think hard to forfeit his proper Right to his inveterate Enemies and for ever to exclude his Posterity from succeeding in their lawful Inheritance The next year A.D. 1273 therefore he had his Wish accomplished and was married to Eleanora at Worcester the King and Queen with all the Nobility and Persons of Quality in England honouring the Wedding with their p●esence But this specious Amity and the Peace la●● concluded betwixt them
