Statute of Rhuddlanとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Statute of Rhuddlan (Welsh: Statud Rhuddlan, Welsh pronunciation: [ˈr̥ɨðlan], approximately "RITH-lan"), also known as the Statutes of Wales (Latin: Statuta Wallie), was enacted on 3 March 1284 and promulgated on 19 March, after the military conquest from 1282 to 1283 of the Principality of Wales—which had been established by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Lord of Aberffraw and Prince of Wales, and briefly held after his death by his successor Dafydd ap Gruffudd—by the King of England, Edward I. The statute assumed the lands held by the Princes of Gwynedd under the title Prince of Wales as legally part of the lands of England under Edward I. Some of the claimed lands such as the south of the Kingdom of Powys had apparently already been surrendered (in 1283 by Owen de la Pole: see Powys entry). These territories did not include a substantial swathe of land from Pembrokeshire through south Wales to the Welsh Borders which was largely in the hands of the marcher lords.
