5Though high politics could certainly intrude in the imposition of English law and the rejection of Welsh law, Smith, ‘England and Wales’, pp. 201–2.

6Ll. B. Smith, ‘Statute of Wales’, 127, citing F.M. Powicke, King Henry III and the Lord Edward: The Community of the Realm in the Thirteenth Century (Oxford, 2 vols., 1947), ii, pp. 618–85. On the same, see also Smith, ‘England and Wales’, p. 190; also D. Jenkins, ‘Law and government in Wales before the Act of Union’, Celtic Law Papers, 42 (1971), 42–3.

Smith, ‘The Dyffryn Clwyd Court Roll project, 1340–1352 and 1389–1399: a methodology and some preliminary findings’, in Z. Razi and R. M. Smith (eds), Medieval Society and the Manor Court (Oxford, 1996), pp. 261, 262.

1010 See the list of references, Barrell et al., ‘Dyffryn Clwyd’, p. 297, n. 81. The most recent work is a study by Matthew Stevens of social structure in early fourteenth-century Ruthin, Urban Assimilation in Post-Conquest Wales (Cardiff, 2010). See also D. Korngiebl, ‘Forty acres and a mule: the mechanics of English settlement in north-east Wales after the Edwardian conquest’, Haskins Society Journal, 14 (2003), 91–104.

11For a detailed discussion of the administration of the local courts within the lordship, see ‘The court rolls of Dyffryn Clwyd and their development to 1442’, unpublished working paper, ESRC project, ‘Dyffryn Clwyd Court Roll Database, 1294–1422’. See also Stevens, Urban Assimilation, pp. 60–73. Elsewhere, both Smith and Davies have commented, albeit briefly, on the courts and their law, as, for instance, R. R. Davies, ‘The law of the March’, WHR, 5 (1970–1), 1–53. For a recent attempt to chart legal developments in another marcher lordship of the same period, though without close reflection on the nature of the law offered, see D. Pratt, ‘Medieval Bromfield and Yale: the machinery of justice’, TDHS, 53 (2004), 19–78.
