Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land of Morgan: Being a Contribution Towards the History of the Lordship of Glamorgan Glamorgan, within the lordship. It was described as sicut regale. Cardiff and the Taff were his Bungay and Waveney and once there seated, no King of Cockney could reach him. Coyty, and at least one hill lordship, comprising the two commotes of Senghenydd, were held of him per baroniam; Avan, the only im portant lowland lordship in the hands of a Welsh family of rank, was held by sexjeantry. Most of the manors were held directly of Cardiff by the tenure of Castle-guard; a few were held immediately of the larger manors. All the greater tenants, with the exception of the Lords of Avan and Senghenydd, and perhaps one or two more, were of Norman blood, and also held estates in England, chiefly within the Honour of Gloucester, within the counties of Gloucester, Somer set, Devon, and Dorset.

Such are Bawdrip, Hawey, de la More, St. John, and Turberville, and m the latter class, Barry, Bonville, Cantelupe, Fleming, and Sully.
