304 Letter patent concerning Henry III

Notification that he has granted to the king that:

(1)–(3) [as cc. 2–4 in no. 301 above].

(4) He has returned the land of Mold to the king as promised earlier, so that if he grants it to another this shall be saving Dafydd’s proprietary right contained in any agreement, concerning which judgement will be made in the king’s court; if the king wishes to keep it in his own hand, he may do so without any claim from Dafydd and his heirs.

(5) He will hand over to the king the lands of all the king’s barons occupied since the war between King John and Llywelyn and return them to the king or whoever he commands, so that he may dispose of them as he wishes, saving Dafydd’s proprietary right contained in any agreement, concerning which judgement will be made in the king’s court.

(6)–(9) [as cc. 7–10 in no. 301 above].

(10) The castle and lands of Degannwy will remain for ever with the king and his heirs for the expenses of the royal expedition to Rhuddlan.

(11) [as c. 11 in no. 301 above].

(12) Henceforth he will willingly receive all the king’s commands and carry them out as far as possible.

(13) Throughout their lives he and his heirs will serve the king and his heirs faithfully nor be against them at any time; if they depart from faithful service to him, all their land may be forfeit to the king and his heirs and pass to their use for ever.

(14)–(15) [as cc. 13, 12 in no. 301 above].

(16) In order to uphold all these promises, concessions and agreements Dafydd has sworn, of his own free will as full security to the king and his heirs, on the holy cross that he has carried around with him, and with the will and consent of the bishops of St Asaph and Bangor and his counsellors he places himself, and all who will support or counsel him in contravening the said agreements or being against the king, together with all his land, under the jurisdiction of the archbishop of Canterbury and the bishops of London, Ely, Hereford, and Coventry and Lichfield, all together and whoever jointly the king has chosen. Submissive to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid prelates over himself and his supporters, he gives the aforesaid prelates full power to enforce, at the king’s request, through sentences of excommunication and interdict upon him and his supporters, the observance of the promises, concessions and agreements contained in this and certain other documents made for the king and to compel them to make full satisfaction according to the king’s will, if he or his men should in any way contravene the aforesaid terms.

Sealing clause; witnesses.
