abt 1191: Llywelyn was betrothed to the daughter of the King of Man when she
was aged eight, with her consent, and that of her relatives. But Llywelyn then
declined to take her to wife [having been betrothed to her, but not having had
carnal knowledge of her at that time], so she was betrothed to his uncle
Rhodri. [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 10/20/1999]
The Pope found, however, that as Llywelyn and the girl were initially
betrothed when she was aged eight, she could not have given proper consent.
Also, the union was only 'per verbis de futuro,' or that they intended to wed
sometime in the future. They had not been properly blessed [before the church
by a priest], and they had never lived together, but had been separated by
land and sea [hence their union ws not consummated]. This means Llywelyn was
not properly married to the girl prior to the time she was properly wed to his
uncle Rhodri. [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 10/20/1999]

1194: "And king Richard returned from Jerusalem. And then Llywelyn, son of
Iorwerth, and Rhodri, son of Owain, and the two sons of Cynan, son of Owain,

uncle had carnal knowledge of the elder girl). But she was already coupled
with another man, so Llywelyn, with the permission of the judges, coupled with

that the marriage of Llywelyn was valid and sent to the pope further evidence,
including evidence that Llywelyn, when betrothed to the girl, had married a
sister of (Ranulf) Earl of Chester. As a result the pope decides there has
been no valid marriage between Llywelyn and the daughter of the prince of the
Isles. He orders the addressees to summon the parties and give judgement
accordingly. [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 9/20/1999]
there is no mention of issue--no declaration of children born, or the
legitimacy of children to be born. This would clearly indicate that the Pope
had no knowledge of any issue of Llywelyn by the daughter of the King of Man,
and since appeal was still being made to the Pope before 1205 [the date of the
third letter], local authorities may have prevented any such physical union
until a final word could be received. [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 10/20/1999]
Llywelyn did not wait long to negotiate another marriage. He was espoused to
Joan in 1205, and married in 1206. One might argue that he had already been
pursuing possible arrangements with King John before the Pope sent this
declaration, and that Llywelyn's witnesses might have been so influenced, or
the Pope with the King of England's influence might have tried to find reasons
to invalidate the cause of marriage between Llywelyn and the daughter of the
King of Man. [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 10/20/1999]

Welsh evidence making Llywelyn the son of a daughter of Madog ap Maredudd,
while not ideal, is pretty strong. The statement appears in numerous Welsh
genealogical manuscripts, of which the earliest is Jesus College MS. 20
(edited in Bartrum's "Early Welsh Genealogical Tracts"), section 29, which
states "Llewelyn m. Marereda merch Madawc m. Maredud" immediately following
section 28, which is Llywelyn's paternal ancestry ("Llywelyn m. Iorwerth m.
Ewein Gwyned m. Gruffud m. Cynan"). In his introduction to the manuscript,
Bartrum states that the latest view is that the manuscript was written by
somebody who learned how to write ca. 1340, but that the source on which the
manuscript was based was written prior to 1200 (based on the orthography of
the surviving text). The fact that Llywelyn ap Iorwerth was the latest person
mentioned in the Jesus College genealogies also supports the view that it was
originally written down during his lifetime, making it a good source for the
identity of his mother. [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 7/10/1998]
He was betrothed to, and apparently married a daughter of a "prince" of the
Isles.
The third letter from Pope Innocent actually refers to Rhodri as the King of
Man [rege Manniae] and Rhodri's travels to and from Man, so there is no
question about who her father was in that sense. 'Prince of the Isles' was
used, not LORD [dominus].
This woman had previously been betrothed to one of Llewelyn's uncles,
Rhodri.
Not only was she betrothed to Rhodri, she was properly married to him in the
church door [in facie Ecclesiae], and slept with him in the same bed for quite
some time, so the Pope concluded that though her nurse, parents, etc., denied
after his death that they had intercourse, the Pope had to declare as a matter
of law that they did know each other carnally.
If the chronological accounts given in the third letter are correct, not
part of the falsified information, she would have been born about 1183, since
Rhodri died in 1195. [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 10/14/1999]

of Rhodri ap Owain Gwynedd and his nephew Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of
North Wales, to the sister of the Earl of Chester and the daughter of the King
of Man.
John Carmi Parsons was kind enough to take time to summarize the third
letter of Pope Innocent III [concerning the negotiations for marriage between
Llywelyn and the daughter of the King of Man]. As this is long, further

To the Bishops of Ely [Eustace], Norwich [John de Gray] and St. Asaph
[Reiner]
This preamble indicates that the uncle was betrothed to the girl before she
was of nubile age, but neither the uncle nor the prince himself had actually
ever taken her to wife.
<
>
Witnesses testified that the girl was betrothed, aged 8, to Llywelyn with
her consent as well as that of her relatives; but because of subsequent
necessity [I assume political] he declined to take her to wife, and the uncle
was betrothed to her without her consent, but he [the uncle] died before
having carnal knowledge of her. {That the uncle died without knowing her
appears to be false testimony, the motive for which was an attempt to avoid
any impdeiment that would have prevented her from being able to marry
Llywelyn.}
<>
On the counsel of prudent men, the appointed judges conceded to the prince
by apostolic authority that he might marry the girl, lest the former discord
between himself and her relatives, which has now been put to rest, break forth
again.
<>
There have been conflicting claims that L. did in fact sleep with her *while
she was betrothed to his uncle*, but after diligent inspection the pope finds
that L. and the girl were never even in the same region together during that
betrothal, but remained separated both by land and by sea. {This appears to
refer to the time of Llywelyn's original betrothal when she was about eight.}
<>
About a year after the girl's father declined to send her to Wales at the
appointed time, Llywelyn instead, without anyone opposing it, "took to wife" a
sister of the earl of Chester. Then the uncle "took to wife" the other girl,
at first as his betrothed and then a year later married her at the church
door; and from the first of May until the feast of St Vitus {15 June}, as many
times as pleased him, he lay in the same bed with her. After a little time he
returned to Wales and stayed there a year. He then returned to the Isle of
Man, peacefully lived there with his wife, and returned to Wales leaving his
wife in the care of her parents. Upon reaching Wales again, he died. {The
Handbook of British Chronology states that Rhodri died in 1095. As one
account says Llywelyn declined to take her towife, but another account states
that her father declined to send her at the appointed time, in may indicate
which story was given by which side.}
<>
However there continues to be considerable disagreement among witnesses as
to whether the uncle actually ever had carnal knowledge of his wife, to whom
he was tied for 3 years and 3 months from the time of their betrothal, and for
2 years, 2 months and 15 days from their marriage at the church door.
[NB--this leaves no doubt that the uncle and the girl were properly married;
but it's still not clear whether they had carnal knowledge of each other.]
<>
By the testimony of several witnesses, including the girl herself, her
relatives and her nurse, the pope has heard that the uncle R. never knew her
carnally.
<>
After the uncle's death, L. asked the king of Man if he might not marry his
younger daughter, but as she was already coupled with another, L. with the
permission of the aforesaid judges coupled with the oft-mentioned girl.
<>
However the pope determines that as the girl was only aged 8 when all this
started, she could not have given proper consent; the union with L was only
*per verbis de futuro*. They were never blessed together as husband and wife.
The pope finds that they never lived together but were divided by land and by
sea, and their union was not consummated.
<>
In her 9th year she was espoused to uncle R., in her tenth year married him,
and for two years was often in his bed.
<>
Therefore it is clear that earlier letters on this matter were false; as
uncle R. and the girl were in bed together, it must by law be presumed that
they became one flesh (i.e., consummated the marriage), and since she was then
in her 12th year and could give legitimate consent, that she was willingly
with him. Therefore her consent was legitimate and she cannot now
legitimately contract matrimony with his nephew.
<>
The pope therefore orders the aforementioned commissioners to terminate the
said business without the possibility of appeal and [etc.--to declare that the
two cannot marry and to order their separation if they have in fact wed].
So to summarize and add commentary:
Llywelyn was betrothed to the daughter of the King of Man when she was aged
eight, with her consent, and that of her relatives. But Llywelyn then
declined to take her to wife [having been betrothed to her, but not having had
carnal knowledge of her at that time], so she was betrothed to his uncle
Rhodri.
It was claimed that Rhodri died without having carnal knowledge of her
[--had it been found that she and Rhodri had indeed had sexual intercourse,
she could not then (after Rhodri's death) marry Llywelyn]. After Rhodri's
death, after inquiry, judges appointed by the Pope declared that Llywelyn
might be betrothed to her.
There had been conflicting claims that Llywelyn had slept with the girl
while she was betrothed to his uncle, but the Pope found that Llywelyn and the
girl were not even in the same region during that period.
Recounting particulars from the beginning, Llywelyn was betrothed to the
girl when she was about eight. About a year after, the King of Man declined
to send her to Wales at the time appointed, so Llywelyn, without any
opposition, took to wife a sister of the Earl of Chester. [This would have
been a politically advantageous match, and--if this testimony is
accurate--would have taken place about the ninth year of age of the daughter
of the King of Man, or ca. 1192 (see below).]
Then Rhodri was, first [in her ninth year], betrothed to the Princess of
Man, and a year later [in her tenth year] married her in the church door [a
proper legal marriage]. After this public union, Rhodri lay in the same bed
with her as often as he pleased between 1 May and the feast of St. Vitus [June
15]. He then returned to Wales. After about one year, Rhodri returned to
Man, again living [and sleeping] with her peacefully. Leaving her in her
parents' care, he returned again to Wales, where he died [apparently in 1195].
The letter then recapitulates, stating that Rhodri was tied to the girl for
three years, three months from the time of their betrothal, and two years, two
months, fifteen days from the time of their marriage at the church door [which
would agree with the statement that they were married at the church about one
year after betrothal]. By taking this chronology into account, if we subtract
her age from the year of Rhodri's death, we come to a probable birth year of
about 1183.
The girl, her nurse, and her relatives all testified that Rhodri never knew
her carnally [here John and I both thought of the claim asserted by Catharine
of Aragon]. This claim was necessary, or Llywelyn would have been barred from
marrying her.
After Rhodri's death [in 1195], Llywelyn asked the King of Man if he could
marry the king's younger daughter [this might indicate Llywelyn knew his uncle
had carnal knowledge of the elder girl]. But she was already coupled with
another man, so Llywelyn, with the permission of the aforesaid judges,
'coupled' with the Princess of the Isles that we have been discussing.
[Now here we have a difficulty in interpretation. The verb 'copulare' can
be ambiguous in meaning. Here it seems to indicate that Llywelyn and the girl
were physically united in sexual intercourse, but it can also mean joining
together in other senses, such as being grouped together (in the same place,
like captives), grouped (like notes), to unite by ties of marriage, to
reconcile, to bind or oblige, to form a tie of peace or friendship, or even to
unite in spiritual love (Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources)].
The Pope found, however, that as Llywelyn and the girl were initially
betrothed when she was aged eight, she could not have given proper consent.
Also, the union was only 'per verbis de futuro,' or that they intended to wed
sometime in the future. They had not been properly blessed [before the church
by a priest], and they had never lived together, but had been separated by
land and sea [hence their union ws not consummated]. This means Llywelyn was
not properly married to the girl prior to the time she was properly wed to his
uncle Rhodri.
She was espoused to his uncle Rhodri in her ninth year, married to him in
her tenth year, and often in his bed after that for a period of two years
[before he died in 1195].
It was clear to the Pope that there was false testimony, and that the claims
that Rhodri never carnally knew the girl were untrue. By law, it must be
presumed that since she and Rhodri lay in bed together they became one flesh
[consummated the marriage], and that since she was in her twelfth year and was
with Rhodri willingly, she thus indicated her consent. As her marriage with
Rhodri was by law complete and legitimate, the girl 'cannot now legitimately
contract marriage' with Llywelyn. The Pope therefore orders the commissioners
to terminate the business--he declares that Llywelyn and the girl cannot
marry, and orders their separation if they have in fact been [since] wed.
This implies to me that at the time Pope Innocent III sent this letter, he
was not aware of any proper marriage between Llywelyn and the Princess. I am
confused by the implication that Llywelyn and the girl coupled [joined in
physical union] at some point after Rhodri's death. That, and the girl's
willingness at the time should have constituted marriage. The Pope would have
then had to declare that the marriage was invalid and quash it. But that is
not what seems to be said at the end in the declaration.
One final important point. If any children had been born to the union, a
determination would have had to be made as to their legitimacy. If the girl
had borne any children fathered by Rhodri [even a miscarriage], it would have
been evidence of consummation and mentioned. If Llywelyn had fathered a
child, having had the approbation of ecclesiastical judges [letter two,
discussed before on this group], it could be argued that they would be
declared legitimate. But if the bride lied about consummating her marriage
with Rhodri, it might be that any such child by Llywelyn would be declared
illegitimate.
The point is, there is no mention of issue--no declaration of children born,
or the legitimacy of children to be born. This would clearly indicate that
the Pope had no knowledge of any issue of Llywelyn by the daughter of the King
of Man, and since appeal was still being made to the Pope before 1205 [the
date of this letter], local authorities may have prevented any such physical
union until a final word could be received.
Llywelyn did not wait long to negotiate another marriage. He was espoused
to Joan in 1205, and married in 1206. One might argue that he had already
been pursuing possible arrangements with King John before the Pope sent this
declaration, and that Llywelyn's witnesses might have been so influenced, or
the Pope with the King of England's influence might have tried to find reasons
to invalidate the cause of marriage between Llywelyn and the daughter of the
King of Man.
The above would also indicate that the King of Man had two daughters, the
elder [who married Rhodri], born about 1183, and a younger daughter, already
coupled [at least espoused] by 1196.
As Llywelyn's betrothal to the daughter of the King of Man was not valid,
and as he had, without any opposition, married the sister of the Earl of
Chester [apparently] the following year, it would indicate that she was dead
by the time Llywelyn began negotiations to marry a daughter of the King of Man
anew. We know he resumed this by 1199, and continued until 1205. He could
not have begun negotiations for marriage to the younger or elder daughter of
the King of Man while lawfully married to another, and there is no declaration
that his marriage to the sister of the Earl of Chester was invalid.
If this is correct, Llywelyn would have married the sister of the Earl of
Chester sometime around 1192, and she must have been dead, without issue that
survived beyond 1232 [if she was legitimate] by 1199. Also, if Llywelyn had
had any issue which survived to adulthood by either of these women, it would
be likely they would be mentioned somewhere in the Welsh pedigrees [as were
children of Owain Gwynedd, Iorwerth ap Owain, etc.]
Of course, the concusions in the above posts depend on the accuracy of the
testimony in the Papal letters and other sources.
The sons and grandsons of Owain Gwynedd [son of Gruffudd ap Cynan], ruler
over Gwynedd [North Wales], who died 1170 [Bartrum says he was b. ca. 1100],
are the main players in this story. Owain had matches with at least nine
women. Christina/Cristin f. Gronwy was considered a legitimate wife. The
following children are given in the _Handbook of British Chronology_, after
which are additional children listed in Bartum's Welsh Genealogies [Gruffudd
ap Cynan, various charts]: (1) Rhun, d. 1146. (2) Hywel, killed 1170 [son by
Ffynnod Wyddeles ("an Irish woman"); issue: Caswallon]. (3) Iorwerth Drwyndwn
[flatnose], son by the first 'wife' Gwladus f. Llywarch, was father of
LLYWELYN ap Iorwerth [both the _Handbook of British Chronology_ and Lloyd's
_History of Wales_ state that Llywelyn was born in 1173] and Adda ap Iorwerth.
He married the daughter of Madog ap Meredydd, Prince of Powys. One account
states that Iorwerth was excluded from his share in the succession because of
his deformity, and was driven out of Gwynedd, meeting an untimely demise in
Powys. But an elegy upon him by Seisyll Brffwrch calls him ruler of Arfon,
and his grave is said to be in the church of Llandudclud [now Penmachno] at
the head of the Conway Valley. Lloyd also thinks there is good reason to
believe he held the commote of Nanconwy with the castle of Dolwyddelan. Wynne
says Iorwerth received the hundreds of Nanconwy and Ardydwy as his
inheritance, and that he dwelled at the castle of Dolwyddelan, where it is
though his son Llywelyn might have been born. (4) Maelgwn [son by Gwladus],
who received Anglesey as his portion. (5) David ap Owain [son by his second
wife Christina] eventually won Gwynedd from his other male relatives in 1175,
was dispossessed in 1194, and died in exile in 1203. David had married, 1174,
Emma, natural daughter of Geoffrey of Anjou. (6) RHODRI ap Owain [son by
Christiana], married (1) a daughter of Rhys ap Gruffudd of Deheubarth, and (2)
the elder daughter of the King of Man. Rhodr i died in 1195. (7) Cynan ap
Owain [mother not known], died in 1174. He had sons Gruffudd ap Cynan [d.
1200] and Maredudd [d. 1212]. (a) Angharad [daughter by Cristin], married
Gruffudd Maelor. (b) Gwenllian [Gwenllian I, daughter by Gwladus], married
Owain Cyneiliog. [other children listed by Bartum, order not known:] (8)
Rhirid, married a daughter of Iarll Desmond [Desmond, in Ireland?] (9) Iago
[son by Mofudd f. Elfan ap Sandde]. (10) Philip [son by Mofudd f. Elfan ap
Sandde]. (11) Madog. (12) Einion. (13) Cynwrig [I]. (14) Cynwrig [II] (15)
Cadell. (c) Gwenllian [II].
Bartrum shows that Rhodri ap Owain Gwynedd married, in 1188, Gwenllian ferch
Arglwydd Rhys, by whom she had two sons, Gruffudd and Cynan. Bartrum states
that Rhodri then married, in 1193, a child, daughter of Reginald, King of Man,
but they had no issue. Bartrum also attribues two other sons to Rhodri,
Thomas and Einion, but the identity of their mother is unknown (concubine).

Chronology:
1170: Owain Gwynedd dies. His sons dispute his lands. His son Hywel is
defeated and killed at the battle of Pentraeth by his brothers Dafydd and
Rhodri. Gwynedd [North Wales] was divided and the share of Anglesey fell to
their brother Maelgwn.
1172: Owain Gwynedd's brother Cadwaladr dies on 29 February, increasing the
lands claimed by Owain's sons.
1173: Dafydd drives his brother Maelgwn from Anglesey and forces him to flee
to Ireland.
1174: Dafydd expands his ambitions and attempts the conquest of all of
Gwynedd. The death of his brother Cynan helps remove one opponent. Iorwerth
may also have been dead by this time. Maelgwn returns from Ireland, but is
imprisoned. This left only his brother Rhodri and his nephews to oppose him.
Dafydd conquers the whole region, displacing the others. Having not been
necessarily unloyal to Henry, King of England, in the upheaval of 1173-4,
Dafydd sends a special envoy to ask the king for the hand of his half-sister,
Emma, illegitimate daughter of Geoffrey of Anjou, "famed for her beauty, and
now, it would seem, a widow." The marriage took place in the summer of 1174.
1175: Rhodri, as his most important rival, is imprisoned by Dafydd, but
escapes from captivity and drives Dafydd out of Gwynedd west of the Conwy
[before the end of the year], establishing a balance of power. The sons of
Cynan also recover their father's lands. Dafydd, unable to overcome this
defeat, agrees to the partition. Rhodri was to hold these lands peacefully
through the next decade.
Rhodri enters into an alliance with Rhys ap Gruffydd, Prince of South Wales,
and marries one of his daughters [Gwenllian].
1177: Rhodri and the sons of Cynan are absent from the Council of Oxford,
before the King of England. Dafydd was in attendance, as were the rulers of
South Wales.
1188: Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, tours Wales [accompanied by
Giraldus] recruiting for the crusade [Jerusalem had fallen to enemies the
previous year]. He preached at a place in Anglesey, possibly Porthwaethwy.
Rhodri and his men, in the audience, declined to take the cross. Rhodri is
chastised for his marriage to his cousin [the daughter of Rhys ap Gruffydd]
which fell within the prohibited degrees (this would indicate his first wife
was still very much alive).
Gerald relates: "From Bangor, we crossed over a small arm of the sea to
the island of Mona, distant from thence about two miles, where Roderic
[Rhodri], the younger son of Owen, attended by nearly all the inhabitants of
the island ... came in a devout manner to meet us. Confession havingbeen made
in a place near the shore, ... many persons were induced to take the cross, by
the persuasuve discourses of the Archbishop, and Alexander, our interpreter
.... Many chosen youths of the family of Roderic were seated on an opposite
rock, and not one of them could be prevailed upon to take the cross, although
the Archbishop and others most earnestly exhorted them, but in vain, by an
address particularly addressed to them. It came to pass within three days,as
if by divine vengeance, that these young men, with many others, pursued some
robbers of that country; being discomfited and put to flight, some were slain,
others mortally wounded, and the survivors voluntarily assumed that cross they
had before despised. Roderic ... who a short time before had incestuously
married the daughter of Rhys, related to himby blood in the third degree; in
order, by the assistance of that prince, to be better able to defend himself
against the sons of his brothers, whom he disinherited, not paying attention
to the wholesome admonistions of the Archbishop on this subject [was
eventually dispossessed of his lands]. [Itinerary, 101-2]
Lloyd says that Llywelyn ap Iorwerth attained his majority in 1188 [at age
14] and began to make trouble for his uncles [2:565]. Lloyd specifically
states that he was born in the early part of 1173 [2:587]. It appears that
Llywelyn's father, Iorwerth, died while Llywelyn was an infant, and that
Llywelyn was raised in his mother's land of Powys.
1190/1: Rhodri is driven out of Anglesey by his nephews, the sons of Cynan
ap Owain. He seeks the aid of Reginald, King of Man, and pledges to marry his
daughter. Lloyd says "about 1190," some accounts say 1190, and another 1191.
Godred, king of Man, had died in 1187, and his minor son Olaf was displaced by
Godred's natural son "Reginald."
1193: Rhodri ap Owain "subjugated the isle of Mona [Anglesey], through the
aid of the sons of Godrich, king of Man; but before the end of the year he was
expelled by the sons of Cynan, son of Owain Gwynedd, his nephews." [Brut,
238-9.] The victory by Rhodri was known as 'Haf y Gwyddyl.' It was apparently
called 'the Gaelic summer' because of the influx of Gaelic-speaking men from
the Isle of Man that had accompanied Rhodri into Gwynedd.
1194: "And king Richard returned from Jerusalem. And then Llywelyn, son of
Iorwerth, and Rhodri, son of Owain, and the two sons of Cynan, son of Owain,
combined against David, son of Owain Gwynedd, and oppugned all the territory
of David, except three castles." [Brut, 240-1.] But conflicting accounts
indicate that Rhodri sided with David and was defeated by Llywelyn at Coed
Aneu in Anglesey, and that Rhodri's defeat left him with almost nothing. DWB
says it is unknown if Rhodri "returned from exile and shared in his brother
Dafydd's humiliation in 1194". Lloyd makes reference to the various
conflicting sources [2:588-8].
1195: Rhodri dies, and is buried at Holyhead/Caergybi.
DNB states there are several poems to Rhodri: The 'Myvyrian Archaiology'
contains one by Gwalchmai (2nd ed., p. 146 [in which Rhodri is called the
"great rampart of his people"]), one by Elidyr Sais (p. 241), and four by
Llywarch ap Llywelyn (pp. 201-3).
This appears to agree with the information in the second and third letters
from Innocent III. It would seem Rhodri properly married the daughter of the
King of Man in 1193, sleeping with her from 1 May to 15 June [the feast of St.
Vitus]. It would make sense that having fulfilled and consumated his marriage
pledge, the King of Man sent forces with Rhodri to reconquer his lands in
Anglesey in the summer of 1193. If the testimony in the third letter is
correct, it would help us narrow down the date of Rhodri's death. If he
married her shortly before 1 May 1193, and was bound to him for another 2
years, 2 months, 15 days, he would have died sometime about 16 July 1195. Of
course, this is speculation based on the accuracy of the testimony of the
information sent from Innocent III, but it helps narrow things down a little.

Translation:
To the bishop of [Mannensus - Menevia, St Davids?] Archdeacon of Bangor and
Prior of the Island of [Glannavus]
Betrothals may not be contracted before the age of seven
From the Lateran, 24 November
Our beloved son R the noble prince of North Wales has applied for from us,
as he {?may have been - subjunctive mood} allowed by our concession to him to
take as wife the pledged daughter of our beloved son the Prince of the Isles,
that he was not obstructed because it emerged that his paternal uncle had also
betrothed her below the marriageable age when however it may not have been
made public by either party. Yet, since it was not able to be agreed by us
whose pledge or betrothal may have existed when the girl was {?became} of age,
and whose may have been prior to that, [puta - ??] nephew or uncle was
betrothed, when after differences of fact the {jura - judge? jury? judgment?
evidence?} on this may also be contradictory, because of this we were not able
to give a definitive response, seeing that the canon law does not give
{?allow} absolute judgment on ambiguous things.
We are willing, however, {?as much as we can with God}, to listen to just
claims of the prefatory principles without difficulty, (the inquisition of
which we sent ahead which we sent to you under a certain form for your
examination), which may be presented in a single clause of oaths. Therefore we
submit this to your discretion {?by means of the apostolic writings}, as far
as who you call summoning to your presence, you should take evidence to
solicit whether the girl had not attained the seventh year when the pledge
with the nephew arose, or the engagement with the uncle. In both cases for
example in that event, because the law did not admit the pledge or that
betrothal, which is not able to come before the seventh year, notwithstanding
because it was done by the uncle first or later, unless there may be other
hindrances, the same girl would be able to contract with the nephew. If in
fact so much as a pledge of betrothal existed at the time of the seventh year
or if you like the {age of majority - majoris}, from which time they may begin
to satisfy the engagement, if it preceded the betrothal with the uncle, she
was not able to contract with the nephew, seeing that according to tradition
and regular observances no-one is able to take the fiancee/bride [sponsa] of a
relative as his wife, {and these two events are not judged unequal}. If
however the pledge made with the nephew went before, {because [? - secutum]
was later not holding, when by the second event it would not be possible to
dissolve the first, because as much as the decided arrangement would be
steadfastly held to by the principal parties, it would be possible for the
marriage between them to be consummated [is there a 'not' missing from this
sentence?]. If in fact the nephew was pledged to her before the seventh year
and the uncle betrothed her in or after the seventh year, the nephew would not
be able to take her as wife on account of the foregoing reasoning, but if it
were vice versa, he would legitimately be able to consummate [copulare]. You
recommend according to those memorials which we have sent ahead, when the
events may be agreed {?determined} by you, you will not be able to doubt the
law. You therefore, by means of remote appeal, you may attend to the business
in accordance with the attached differentiation sent to you. But if all, etc.,
you, brother bishop, with others of these,
Given at the Lateran on the 24th November

in prdictorum judicum prsentia constitutis, sicut ipsi per suas nobis litteras
intimarunt, per testes ejus constitut evidenter, quod prdicta puella, octo
annis expletis, ab L. principe Norwalli, tam suo quam suorum assensu parentum,
fuerat subarrhata, sed, eo ex necessitate ipsam transducere differente,
ejusdem L. patruus ipsam sine consensu ejus postmodum desponsavit, qui, ea
nequaquam carnaliter cognita, viam fuerat univers carnis ingressus. Judices
ergo prdicti, communicato prudentium virorum consilio, prdicto Norwalli
principi auctoritate apostolica concesserunt, ut puellam desponsaret eamdem,
ne discordia inter ipsum et parentes puell olim exorta, et tunc sopita, iterum
oriretur. Nos igitur, eorumdem sententiam, nisi aliud rationabile quidem
obstaret, volentes firmitatem debitam obtinere, dilectis filiis ... abbati de
Abenton ... priori de Henli, et magistro M. canonico de Berlinton. Bangorensis
diceseos, dedimus in mandatis, ut ipsam facerent, appellatione remota, per
censuram ecclesiasticam firmiter observari. Abbas vero prdictus, et conjudices
sui, propter conditionem in litteris nostris expressam, super matrimonio illo,
sicut in eorum litteris perspeximus contineri, studiose ac sollicite, receptis
testibus, veritatem inquirere curaverunt. Habitis ergo quatuor productionibus
testium, et redactis in scriptis despositionibus eorumdem, ea, qu ad
decisionem caus credebant sufficere, de utriusque partis assensu, nobis
transmittere curaverunt, ut nobis rei veritas eluceret, consuleretur
conscienti principis supradicti, qui priores judices, et prsertim
archidiaconum et priorem dicebat juris ignaros, et litteras nostras per falsam
suggestionem obtentas, nec se credebat cum eadem puella posse salvari, qu
patruo ejus tradita in uxorem in uno lecto spius fuerat cum eodem. Nos igitur,
depositionibus testium diligenter inspectis, probatum invenimus per easdem,
quod idem L. puellam ipsam ducturum se juraverat in uxorem, sed nec ipsam
transduxerat, nec probabatur per testes, quod benedictus fuerit, aut in una
terra fuerit cum eadem, utpote quorum terras mare medium dividebat. In actis
quoque judicum perspeximus contineri, quod suffucientibus testimoniis probatum
fuerat coram ipsis, octo annorum fuisse puellam, quando idem L. eam juraverat
se ducturum. Cumque pater puell filiam suam in Norwalliam ad statutum terminum
ducere distulis set, idem L. sororem nobilis viri ... comitis Castri, sine
contradictione qualibet, circa fluem illius anni duxerat in uxorem, et R.
patruus ejus puellam desponsaverat memoratum, et post annum in facie Ecclesi,
cum illa contraxerat, et a principio Maii usque ad festum beati Viti martyris,
quoties ei placuit, in eodem lecto jacuerat cum eadem, et in Walliam fuerat
elapso tempore aliquanto reversus. Cterum, transacto secundo anno a tempore
desponsationis, primo vero a tempore nuptiarum, in Manniam rediens, pacifice
cohabitavit uxori, et eam secum per terram et mare deduxit, sed, ea tandem sub
parentum cura relicta, in Walliam rediit, ibique fuit viam univers carnis
ingressus. Ex dictis igitur testium collegerunt judices supradicti, quod
prdictus R. puellam eamdem a tempore desponsationis habuerat per triennium, et
tres menses, sed per biennium, duos menses, et dies quindecim a tempore
nuptiarum; fuit autem diversitas inter testes, cum quidam, ex eo quod puella
erat tunc temporis macilenta, quod non fuisset carnaliter cognita
existamarent, licet esset tate nubilis, et toro matura; quidam autem nescire
se dicerent, si carnaliter cognita exstitisset, quidam vero crederent, quod
cognita non fuisset, quidam vero ab ipso R. assererent se audisse, quod eam
carnaliter non cognovit; licet adjicerent se nescire, utrum postmodum fuerit
cum eadem. Verum, prdictus episcopus Manni, sicut in scriptis ejus, et suorum
conjudicum secundo delegati perspexerant contineri, conjudicibus ejus
absentibus, tam ex ipsius puell quam parentum, nutricis et famularum ejus
didicit juramentis, quod prdictus R. puellam ipsam carnaliter non cognovit.
Patruo ergo viam univers carnis ingresso, cum prdictus L. a rege Manni
juniorem filiam in conjugum postulasset, nec id obtinere potuisset ab eo,
utpote cum ipsa fuisset alii copulata, spedictam puellam de assensu priorum
judicum sibi postmodum copulavit. Constitit igitur ex prdictis quod inter
spedictum L. et prdictam puellam, cum octo esset annorum cujus tamen consensus
non invenitur expressus, antequam cum ipsa ejusdem L. patruus contraxisset,
tantummodo per verba de futuro fuerunt sponsalia celebrata, ita quod nec idem
L. transduxerat aut subarrharat eamdem, nec cum ipsa fuerat benedictus, quin
imo nec in eadem fuerant terra simul, utpote quorum terras, sicut superius est
expressum, mare medium dividebat: unde prsumi non potest quod aliquid
attentarint, quod non potuerint consummare. Constitut etiam per prdicta quod
puella ipsa in nono anno spedicto R. desponsata fuerat, et in decimo ab ipso
transducta, et ultra biennium in uno lecto frequenter fuerat cum eodem. Unde
colligitur manifeste quod prim litter per falsam fuerunt suggestionem obtent,
cum contineatur in illis quod neuter eorum transduxit eamdem. Cumque tandin
simul in uno lecto fuissent, de jure prsumitur quod facti fuerint una caro,
cum etiam in duodecimo anno, in quo liberum et legitimum habet in hujusmodi
puella consensum, voluntarie fuerit cum eodem, patet eam in ejus matrimonium
legitime consensisse, nec potuisse contrahere postmodum cum nepote. Unde idem
L. ducere ipsam de jure non potuit, et, si de facto ipsam sibi post mortem
patrui copulavit, ab ea est merito separandus. Ideoque fraternitati vestr per
apostolica scripta mandamus, quatenus, vocatis qui propter hoc fuerint
evocandi, causam ipsam secundum prcriptam formam, appellatione postposita,
terminetis, facientes, etc.
