Event detail for site: Carmarthen1208: Attempted takeoverWilliam de Londres and the canons of Llanthony Secunda (Glos) seemingly sought to take over Carmarthen Priory although they were later removed. The Close Rolls of 1208 record a mandate from King John to William de Londres to render the priory of Carmarthen to the prior of Llanthony,Gloucester. However, in a later mandate John instructed the bishop of St David's to remove the canons of Llanthony from Carmarthen and to maintain Cadifor, the Welsh prior, in his possession. Cadifor evidently paid the king ten marks for this privilege. Bibliographical sourcesPrinted sourcesRotuli Litterarum Clausarum, ed.
