[227] See the surveys in the _Record of Carnarvon_ (14th century), where the holdings are sometimes called '_Weles_,' thus:--'In eadem villa sunt tria _Wele_ libera, viz. _Wele_ Yarthur ap Ruwon Wele Joz. ap Ruwon and _Wele_ Keneth ap Ruwon. Et sunt heredes predicte Wele de Yarthur ap Ruwon, Eign. ap Griffiri and Hoell. ap Griffri et alii coheredes sui;' and so on of the other Weles (p. 11). This is the common form of the survey _passim_. [228] _Ancient Laws, &c., of Wales_, p. 741. [229] _Id._ pp. 82 and 740. [230] The fullest description of the rules of '_family land_' are those in the _Venedotian Code_, c. xii., _The Law of Brothers for Land_, pp. 81 _et seq._ See also _Welsh Laws_, Book IX. xxxi. p. 536; also Book XIV. xxxi. pp. 739 _et seq._ [231] _Ancient Laws, &c., of Wales_, Glossary, p. 1001. [232] The _Record of Carnarvon_, _passim_. Thus 'the _Wele_ of So-and-so, the son of So-and-so, and the heirs of this Wele are So-and-so.' [233] This was not payable if an investiture fee had been paid by the person dying. [234] _Ancient Laws, &c._, p. 92 and 93. [235] _Id._ p. 375. [236] _Book of Carnarvon_, _passim_. [237] Sometimes an '_uchelwr_' or tribesman had taeogs under him. _Ancient Laws, &c._, pp. 88, 339, and 573. See also _Id._ p. 646. _Welsh Laws._ [238] _Id._ pp. 82 and 536. _Welsh Laws_, s. xxxii. [239] _Id._ p. 376. [240] _Id._ p. 82. [241] _Id._ p. 82. [242] It was sometimes called 'tir kyllidin,' or geldable land, as before stated. [243] _Ancient Laws, &c._, p. 673. [244] Pp. 36–7 and 212–13. [245] _Id._ pp. 88 and 646. [246] Pp. 93 and 376. [247] P. 375–6. _Gwentian Code_, 11, xxxv. [248] _Ancient Laws, &c._, p. 697. [249] P. 294 (Dimetian Code). 'The _caeth_--there is no _galanas_ (death-fine) for him, only payment of his "werth" to his master _like the "werth" of a beast_.' [250] _Ancient Laws, &c._, pp. 90–1. [251] _Id._ p. 91, s. 14. [252] _Id._ p 91, s. 15. In _Leges Wallice_, p. 825, 'score pence' or 'score of silver' is translated 'uncia argenti;' ∴ 3 _uncie agri_ should equal a '_trev_.' See _Liber Landavensis_, pp. 70 and 317. [253] 4 erw = tyddyn. 16 erw = randir. 64 erw = gavael. 256 erw = trev. 1024 erw = maenol. [254] The word _Gabail_ still in Scotch Gaelic retains its meaning of _a farm_. The word is pronounced '_gāv´-ul_.' [255] _Ancient Laws_, pp. 261. 'Four randirs are to be in the trev from which the king's gwestva is to be paid' (s. 5). [256] In upland districts there were 13 trevs in the maenol, p. 375. [257] There were seven taeog-trevs in taeog-maenols, and each contained three randirs, in two of which there were three taeog-tyddyns to each, the third being pasture for the other two. There were therefore six taeog holdings in each taeog-trev. _Ancient Laws, &c._, pp. 375 and 829. [258] Pp. 374–5.
