ABERGELAU (ABERGELE), DENBIGHSHIRE. Proceedings in Chancery between Geffrey Downham and Heylyn ap Blethyn, in the reign of Richard II, 1377-99. The plaintiff having been ousted of his vicarage of Abergele by the defendant, who had by false suggestions purchased VOL. VI. 31 letters of presentation of the King, the plaintiff procured a scire facias, and prays the Chancellor to hear his counsel thereon, and to do him justice. The following petition, which is preserved among "The Proceedings in Chancery", the original of which is in Norman-French, supplies the names of two vicars of Abergele much earlier in date than any mentioned in Thomas's History of the Diocese of St. Asaph. "To the very reverend father in God and very honourable the Lord Chancellor of England humbly beseecheth Geffrey Dounham, Chaplain, that whereas he was rightfully vicar of the Church of Abergelau, in North Wales, and instituted and inducted into the said vicarage, and for a long time in peaceable possession thereof, by collation of Alexander,1 Bishop of St. Asaph, patron of the same, which possession and title of the said vicarage our Lord the King ratified by his letters patent to the said suppliant; and afterwards one Heylyn ap Blethyn, by his untrue suggestion, contrary to the Statute, purchased a bill of the Pope to the same vicarage; and because he could not succeed by that title he purchased letters of presentation of the King to the same vicarage, by colour of which presentment the said Heylyn is instituted and inducted into the said vicarage, and therefrom has tortrously ousted the said suppliant, in destruction of his poor estate and livelihood. Whereupon the said suppliant purchased of the King at Stamford by petition a writ of scire facias to have a repeal. And thus he hath sued for the same cause from term to term at Nottingham, York, Winchester, and London, without suc cess. "Wherefore may it please your very honourable Lordship and rightfull justice to suffer the counsel of the said suppliant to plead the same matter before you in the chancery, and moreover to do right to the said suppliant as law and reason demand, for (the love of God) and in work of Charity." RHIWSAESON. (Vol. v, p. 114; Add. MS. 14,917.) Tri mab oedd i Owain ab Gruffydd ab Meilir, hwnw a bioedd y Cwbl o Ddluedogaeth, o Dir o Dwvr Bryn a Phant o holl 1 Alexander Bache, S.T.P. (of the order of Preaching Friars, and confessor to Richard II) was consecrated Bishop of St. Asaph on 8th May 1390. He died in 1394; hence the collation of Geffry Downham must have occurred between these dates. |
