Abstract

"This volume considers the litigation which took palce in the Griffith family concerning the inheritance of the Penrhyn estate in north-west Wales following the death of Edward Griffith on 11 March 1540. These disputes which took place mainly following the Acts of Union 1536-43, have never before been analyzed by legal historians and make a valuable contribution to our understanding of litigation during the mid Tudor period from the 1540s to the 156-s/ These disputes are significant for several reasons..." - Preface
