Prince Llewelyn in his youth, long before this recited ma- 

 nage, had maried Tangwyftl, daughter of Lowarch Goch of 

 Rhos. by whom he begate a moft valiant fonne, called Gruffith 

 ap Lewelyn % who, as heire apparent in his father's time, after 

 many warrs between him and his father, had the cantreds of 

 Englefield, Ros, Rovoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd given him by 



" Lewelino Walliae Principi qui Joannam Regis filiam notham duxerat in- 

 ** uxorerm" — It concludes, " Et quod ipfum deinceps- fro fiho habebi- 

 " mus," vol. I. par. i. p. 48. anno 1208. 10 Joh. 



Accordingly, four years afterwards, King John fends a letter; " Di- 

 ** ledto filiofuo Lewelino Principi Wallia?.' 5 Ibid. p. 65. 



What feems ftill more extraordinary, in the next reign, this fpurious 

 daughter of K. John's is ftiled by Henry the Third, his lifter, and Lewe- 

 lin fome times his brother,, as likewife David, the fon of this marriage y 

 his nephew. See vol. I. par. i. p. 81. 98. & 100. -in which laft refe- 

 rence Lewelin's wife is alfo ftiled Domina Norwalliae. 



The ftone coffin in which,, according to tradition, this daughter of 

 K.John's was buried, is ftill ufed as a trough for the cattle to drink out 

 of, not far from a farm honfe called Friars, which is fituated in the ifland 

 of Anglefey about a mile N. of Beaumaris, on the fea-coaft. She is 

 fuppofed to have been buried in the neighbouring church of Llanvays ; 

 and that this part of the tradition is true, appears by the following ex- 

 tract from an inftrument in Rymer ; 



Pro Fratribus Minorum de Llanvayfii in Infula noftra de Anglefye. 



Confiderantes quod in eadem domo corpus tarn filia Re^is 



Johanms progenitoris nojlri quam filii Regis Dacice, necnon corpora Do* 

 mini de Clyffort*, &c. fepulta exijlunt. Rymer, vol. IV. partii. p. 83.- 

 A. D. 1414. & 2 Hen. V. The fuppofed coffin of Pompey's father is 

 ufed as a watering trough for mules at Barcelona. Swinburne's account 

 of Spain. 



In the year 1236 died lady Johan Wife to Lewelin Prince of Wales 

 the which was fifter to King Henry by the father's fide. She died in 

 March at Haveringe in Effex, and was buried at Tarente Nunnery, in 

 Dorfetfhire. Lei. Colled:, vol. II. p. 455. N. ed. It muftbe admitted 

 that thefe two accounts are very contradictory.
