The earl marshal takes the issues of the manors of Penhow and Portskewett by reason of John’s death, Ralph’s minority, and the statute regarding royal prerogative in Wales; and, for these reasons also, Edmund, late earl of March , and Anne his wife, still living, took the issues of the manor of Whitson and the lands and tenements in the vills of Peterstone Wentlooge ( Preston ), Rogerstone (Trageston), and Redcastle.
