1 I am most grateful to Mr. Daniel Huws for bringing the fragment to my notice and for his suggestions and criticisms. 2 NLW typescript Schedule of Powis Castle Deeds & Documents, vol. I p. 53. On the rivalry between the Vaughans and Herberts see e.g. W. V. Lloyd, 'Sheriffs of Montgomeryshire', Montgomeryshire Collections, vol. V (1872), pp. 405-6. Lloyd notes, p. 406, that this conflict prevented Owen Vaughan from gaining the office of sheriff of Montgomeryshire, held by his father, John ab Owen Vaughan, in 1583. Instead Owen became sheriff for Denbighshire in 1601 (J. Y. W. Lloyd, 'High Sheriffs of Denbighshire', Archaeologia Cambrensis 1869, p. 29). The Denbighshire connection is reflected in Owen's notebook, which includes, in an early 17th century hand, a rental of the manor of Cynllaith Owain. 3 For text see J. B.
