Siarter Ystrad Marchell rhif 88 / Ystrad Marchell charter no. 88

Confirmation by John de Cherleton, lord of Powis, of the right of William, abbot of Strata Marcella (Ystrad Marchell) to hold a court of tenants.

John de Cherleton, lord of Powis, gives, grants and confirms to William, abbot of Stratamarchell, and the convent of the same place, their right to hold a court of all their tenants which they have held by their steward from three weeks to three weeks or for a greater period since the time of the foundation of the abbey until Griffith, late abbot, was unjustly deprived of the right by the servants of John de Cherleton, the grantor's grandfather, without his knowledge. The right includes cognizance of pleas of contracts and agreements within their lands, of debts and destraining of chattels to the value of forty shillings, of petty trespasses and striking of hands where there is no mortal wound or breaking of bones, attachements both of foreigners and the abbey's own tenants committing trespasses in their corn and meadows, and of taking amerciaments, taxed by good and legal men of the said abbot and convent, but saving to the lord and his heirs pleas of error, false-judgement and attainder.
