Description
Abstract (cited)
A 1580s dispute between the crown and its tenants over whether Glyn Cothi and Pennant was manor or forest instigated the collection of evidence which details not only the much-depleted state of the crown's woods, but also the ownership, land use and tenure of farmland and the sizes of farm households. They show that customary Welsh jointly-held family land and extended kinship structures had almost disappeared in consequence of the introduction of English land and inheritance laws in 1536. However, misappropriation by local families of the vestiges of the medieval English institution of the forest had allowed them to survive.
