I27808: CARADOG (ABT 1000

Notes

"As father of Trahaern ap Caradog, his first name is certain from his son's patronymic. As far as I have been able to determine, none of Caradog's alleged ancestors (e.g., in ABT.2a,13,14) is a verifiably historical individual.]"

"The Manor of Aberafan: The manorial lordship of Aberafan stands on the southwest bank of the River Avon (or Afon Afan, in Welsh) close to its estuary on the Bristol Channel, in West Glamorgan, Wales. The lordship continues to hold the historic right of wreck. The lordship has been known over the ages also as Aberavon, Afan Burgess, Avon Burgess and Afon Burgess. It located within the western part of modern-day Port Talbot.

The old Seignorial Borough of Aberafan, which generally comprises the manor, claimed to have been granted its first corporate charter in 1158 by a native Welsh lord. In the old borough's municipal offices is to be seen a wooden chopping block, which, though solid in appearance, is really hollow. A story is told of the Cromwellian period that the charters of the borough were hidden in this block by the Portreeve (the Lord's Bailiff) on the approach of the Lord Protector's troops.

What was probably a Welsh stronghold in the 12th Century stands of the highest point of Mynydd Dinas, above the Avon River. This may have been the Hen Gastell of Morgan ap Caradog. It is of the motte type with a diameter of 130 feet, surrounded by a ditch 20 feet broad and about 6 feed deep. The eminence where this Welsh castle stood overlooks the valley through which the Avon flows, and still holds great beauty and charm.

At the time of the Norman invasion of South Wales, the lands of Afan or Avan remained in the hands of Caradog, the son of Jestyn ap Gwrgan, the last native Lord of Morganwg. Caradog's eldest son, Morgan, is mentioned by Giraldus Cambrensis as having guided him towards the River Neath. The Welsh lords after Morgan, who died in about 1207, were Leisan ap Morgan, who died in 1213; Morgan Gam, his brother, who was captured after the insurrection of Gilbert de Clare in 1228, and sent to chains to Engand. After Gilbert's death, Morgan Gam was released, but was again in arms in 1231 when he joined Llewelyn ap Iorwerth in his attacks on Glamorganshire castles and devastated Neath. He died in 1241 and was succeeded by his son, Leisan ap Morgan Gam, who was followed by his brother, Morgan Vychan, at an unknown date. A son of Morgan Gam, probably Morgan Vychan, was among the Welsh offenders called before Henry III in 1245 "to answer and be judged for
divers homicides, depredations, and damages perpetrated against the King's peace."

Morgan Vychan died in 1288 and his son, Leisan ap Morgan Vychan, is shown as issuing a charter to the burgesses of Aberavon in 1304. He was an adherent of Edward I (1272-1307), who paid him 20 marks towards the cost of maintaining Kenfig Castle. He evidently adopted English customs, and took his place as a Glamorgan Baron. He was the first of the Lords of Aberafan to use the surname "de Avene", a reference to the area. He refused to support the rising of Llewelyn Bren in 1316 and this was, according to one authority, the cause of the destruction of "the ancestral supremacy of the Sovereign Avan." John de Avene succeeded him in about 1320 and was followed by Thomas de Avene, whose daughter Jane married Sir William Blount. In 1350, they exchanged their Welsh lands and manors with the Despencer Lords of Glamorgan for lands in England. In 1373, Edward le Despencer granted a charter to the Burgess of his Seignorial Borough, and the Manor remained in this family until the death of Richard III at Bosworth in 1485.
It was seized by Henry VII who granted it to his uncle, Jasper Tudor, Duke of Bedford, on whose death childless it reverted to the Crown.

The current Lord of the Manor of Aberafan is Ronald A. Jenkins, who succeeded Christopher Paul Mansel Methuen-Campbell Esquire of\ Penrice Castle on St. David's Day, March 1st, 1995.

"Spouse Unknown. [Note: The Welsh annals (AC and ByT) refer to Trahaern ap Caradog as a cousin of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, which has led to speculation that Trahaern's mother was perhaps a sister of Cynfyn ap Gwerystan. However, although we can be reasonably certain that Trahaern and Bleddyn were cousins, this information is not enough to nail down the precise relationship.]"
