Amongst the petitions preferred to Edward, Prince of Wales, at Kennington, 23 Edw. I, is one from this Ynyr, stating that the King had given to him the office of Raglor of the Comot of Tal y Bont, for his servicce in taking Madog ab Llywelyn, who in the last war had made himself Prince of Wales, and had delivered him up to the King (Record of Caernarvon, p. 220).

II, with attacking, on the next Wednesday after the Feast of S. Gregory, 15th Edw.
