Notes

The winning of Glamorgan: Documents ^[1]

"[The Lordship of Coyty] was held by Morgan ab Meyryg ab Gruffydd ab Iestin who had an only Child which was a daughter called Sarah. This Morgan was very powerful in his Castle and men and riches, so Sir Robert fitzHamon durst not meddle with his lordship any more than with some mannors in it part of the chief Lords domain and so belonging to Iestin, which he gave to eleven of the knights. After all had been endowed with Lands for their service, Pain Turbervil Asked sir Robert where was his share, to which Sir Robert answered here are men and here are Arms, go get it where you can. So Pain Turbervill with the men went to Coity and sent to Morgan a messenger to ask if he would yield up the Castle. Upon this Morgan brought out his Daughter Sara in his hand and passing thro the army with his sword in his Right hand came to Pain Turbill and told him if he would marry his Daughter and so come like an honest Man into his Castle that he would yield it to him quickly. And if not said he, let not the blood of any of our men be lost, but let this sword and arm of mine and those of yours decide who shall call this Castle his own. Upon this Pain Turberville drew his sword and took it by the blade in his left hand and gave it to Morgan and with his right hand embraced the Daughter, and after settling evry matter to the liking of both sides he went with her to church and married her, and so came to the Lordship by true right of possession."
