But at a great festival where he presided, immediately after the Paschal Feast, in 1229, Llewellyn conceiving a bitter jealousy between his wife and the said William de Brewes, most treacherously caused the latter to be ignominiously hanged--an atrocity which threw the whole Welsh frontier into the greatest confusion and alarm; for at that time <g>King Henry</g> was still in France with a large army; and in his absence the country was but ill provided with the means of enforcing the law. <g>Matilda</g>, the second daughter, married Roger <g>Mortimer</g>, Lord Wigmore, from whom sprang a numerous progeny. <g>Eve</g>, the third daughter, married William <g>de Cartello</g>. <g>Alionora</g>, the fourth and youngest, married Humphrey <g>de Bohun</g>, with the lordship of Brecknock, which for some time had belonged to the Counts or Earls of Hereford. Among the names here mentioned, those of Bertha and Lucy, daughters of <g>Milo</g>, are to be held in special reverence as eminent patrons and benefactors of <g>New Llanthony</g>. And here, for the present, we take leave of the genealogical table, which exhibits in many striking examples the instability of fortune, the frailty of human nature, the vanity of riches, and the uncertain tenure of life. [Illustration: C]<g>HARTERS.</g>--The following is an extract from the charter of King John, in the first year of his reign, wherein all grants previously made in favour of <g>Llanthony</g> are recited and confirmed:-- “<g>Know</g> all men by these presents, that I, <g>John</g>, King of England, have, out of love to God, confirmed in perpetual offering to God, to the Blessed Virgin, St. John the Baptist, and the Canons-Regular of <g>Lantonay</g>, the donations or grants hereunder described, which have been reasonably and lawfully conceded to them, viz.: By deed of gift from our father the late King Henry, the chapel near the Castle of Gloucester, the school in the same town, a moiety of the fishery of <g>Horsepol</g>, which is in our domain, with iiij lib. of land in the manor of <g>Bernington</g>, as alms in perpetuity.”--So much for the new Abbey near Gloucester. He then recites and confirms the benefactions of Hugh and Walter <g>de Laci</g>, consisting of lands, woods, fisheries, villages, houses, and whatever property in those times was essential to the prosperity of a great religious establishment. It is a long deed; and, besides those already noticed, introduces a full list of benefactors, whose names and families--though of great note and influence at that day--have long vanished from the political horizon, and are seldom found but in ancient title-deeds, or charters like the present, in which their good works are faithfully and minutely registered.
