Court held on the last-mentioned date, 6 Edward I. at Berg[eveny]. The said bishop and chapter came and said that they were not bound to come at the summons of any bailiff or steward of Bergeveny for any writ of the king, nor to answer in that conrt touching the said church of Lanteliold Porthalauk, nor touching any right belonging to the church of Llandaff, because they and their predecessors from time immemorial continuously held it as appurtenant to their cathedral church of Llandaff, and they neither hold nor claim to hold anything of the lord of Bergeveny, wherefore they ought not to answer. And so they withdrew. And the court considered that that assise so arramed against them by the king should be taken in their default, and that further inquiry should be made touching the right of patronage of the said church, because such was the custom in that court.
