page 185 note * This was probably the priory at Caermarthen, of which there are still considerable remains. This letter seems to contradict the common opinion that Edmond Tudor, first earl of Richmond, the father of King Henry VII. was buried in the cathedral of St. David's. His remains were perhaps removed thither on the suppression of the priory.

page 186 note * We might imagine, by the number of holy relics which the Welsh had to swear by, that they were constantly in the habit of false-swearing, and did not believe one another. Other instances will be found in Giraldus Cambrensis, &c.
