their troops secretly crossed, and coming behind the Welsh 

 unawares, attacked them in the rear and routed them; and 

 Llewellyn himself was slain in a small dell, since called Cwm 

 Llewellyn, or " Llewellyn's Dingle," about one hundred yards 

 from the scene of action, by one Adam de Francton, who 

 plunged his spear into his body without knowing the rank of 

 his victim, and immediately joined his party in pursuit of the 

 flying foe. Returning after the engagement probably in 

 search of plunder De Francton discovered that he had 

 wounded the Welsh prince, who was still alive ; and on strip- 

 ping him he found a letter in cipher, and his privy seal con- 

 cealed on his person. Francton immediately cut off the prince's 

 head, and sent it to the King of England. The body was 

 dragged a short distance, to a place where the road from Builth 

 branches off in two directions ; one leading to Llanavon Vawr, 

 and the other to Llangammach. Here it was interred ; the 

 spot being still called Ceon bedd Llewellyn, " the Ridge of 

 Llewellyn's Grave." From their behaviour on this occasion, 

 the opprobrious designation of " Traitors of Aberedw " is said 

 to have been bestowed on its inhabitants by this unfortunate 

 prince. LEWIS.
