6. In 1293 Edward I requested that the abbots of Aberconwy and Valle Crucis be
excused from attending because he needed him to stay in England. Again in 1298
the king
requested that the abbots of Aberconwy and Valle Crucis be excused attendance;
they were ‘staying in Wales by the king’s command for the king’s
business and the quiet of the land’. Moreover the abbot of Aberconwy was
not ‘in a fit state to travel’. Cal. Chancery Warrants,
