"One of the most perplexing questions of the Welsh rebellion of 1282-3 is why it started in the first place. Dafydd ap Gruffudd had begun the conflict against the English with a surprise attack on Hawarden Castle in Easter of 1282. What was his motivations? Some of the answers to this question come from the records of John Peckham, Archbishop of Canterbury (1279–1292). In the fall of 1282 he tried to negotiate a peace agreement between England's King Edward I and the Welsh leaders including Dafydd. Peckham recorded the various grievances of Dafydd, revealing that in recent months he had been in a dispute with Reginald de Grey, the Justice of Chester. Reginald had been trying to exercise authority over the borderlands between Chester and Wales, territories held by Dafydd, specifically the townships of Hope and Estyn. The justice had even damaged Dafydd's lands "by having his grove of Lleweni and woods of Hope cut down…they destroyed the grove and transported the timber to be sold in Ireland."…."

The border marcher lords were continually encroaching on his lands and stirring up trouble. Edward would do nothing to prevent it and perhaps encouraged them, particularly, Mortimer, Corbett and Fitzwilliam. |
