I owe this reference to the kindness of Mr H. G. Richardson. It should be observed that at this time Edward was faced by very similar problems in Wales. The latest discussion of the conflict of laws in Wales is in Powicke, Henry III and the lord Edward, ch. xv.

C, no. 6, pp. 142–3.Google Scholar The editors assigned this parliament to 1280 on the grounds that it must have been held shortly before the writ of 10 June 1280 (see below, (p. 264), but it seems to have been held in obedience to the king’s letter just quoted.
