clave fair, to, the King, Owen Glyndwr burned them both to 

 cold ajhes e . Neither was the inheritance betwene their pofterity 

 divided, imtill fuch time as Jevan the fonne of this Robert was 

 maried and had many children, as may appeare by the indentures 

 of partition betweene Jevan the fonne of this Robert, and John 

 ap Meredith ap Jevan, grandchild to the other brother Jevan,. 

 the one parte of which indentures I have. . Thofe that made par- 

 tition betweene them were thefe, Thomas ap Robin of Kych- 

 willan, that maried Gwenhwyfar* and Jevan ap Meredith, This 

 Thomas ap Robin was after beheaded neare the cattle of Conwey 

 by the Lord Herbert, for that he was a follower of the houfe of 

 Lancafter : and his wife is reported to have carried away his head 

 in her apron. Some affirme Jevan ap Meredith to be the elder 

 brother, and foe doth all the race that are of him contend : my- 

 felf, and thofe that are come of Robert, have this reafon to think 

 him to be the elder. Robert had iflue Jevan, Jevan his brother 

 had iflue Meredith, Meredith had iflue John, John being of 

 man's eftate had the tuition of his uncle Jevan ap Robert, my 

 anceftor, and yet Robin Vaughan ap David ap Howell's land in 

 Denbigh land, being cozen to them both, defcended to Jevan 

 ap Robert, my anceftor, and not to John ap Meredith ; which 

 I hold for an invincible argument that Jevan is defcended from 

 the elder. Allbe I have the King's Writte, directed to Robert 

 Meredith, Meredith ap Jevan ap Meredith, and to the principall 

 gentlemen of Evioneth, for the apprehenfion of Jevan ap Robin 

 Herwr, a notable rebell outlaw, and others of his qualitie ; which 

 writt doth place Robert ap Meredith firft before his nephew, 

 which alfoe may fortifie the opinion of them who hold him to
