N.B. During this period, Berain would not have been the name of a house, but instead that of the'villata' or' township in which it was located. According to the Welsh legal custom people weredescribed as 'of the township' in which they resided, and not by the name of the house in which theylived. That came much later.

Lleweni Berain<(*Sir John Salusbury

Sir John Salusbury was probably living at Lleweni at the time of his mother's death and did notreturn to Berain. His brother's wife and daughter may, however, have continued living there. It isnot clear whether Thomas's daughter, Margaret, inherited any of Katheryn's properties or lands.She eventually married William Norris of Speke Hall, Lancashire.

17th CenturyDuring the 17th century, it is likely that the capital messuage of Berain was leased to tenants.Numerous leases are recorded for Berain but it is not always clear whether these refer to tenementsand lands in the township of Berain or Berain Hall itself.

Sir Thomas Salusbury 3rd baronet died unmarried in 1657/8. His younger brother, Sir JohnSalusbury (b.1637) became the 4th baronet and inherited the Lleweni estate, which included Berain.He married Jane William in 1664 but when he died in 1684, he also left no heirs. His sister, HesterSalusbury, succeeded to the title of Lleweni. She and her husband moved to Lleweni Hall. This wasa much bigger estate than Sir Robert's estate of Combermere and the house was also muchgrander. Consequently, Robert and Hester made it their principal seat.

Hearth Tax 1663 In England and Wales, a tax on hearths was introduced on the 19th May 1662. Householders wererequired to pay a charge of 2s per annum for each hearth, with half of the payment due atMichelmas and the other half at Lady Day. Exemptions were those in receipt of poor relief andanyone whose house was worth less than 20s a year. A revision of the Act in 1664 made the taxpayable by all who had more than two chimneys. It was eventually abolished in 1689.

Over time, the crown sold off much of the original territory of the lordship, particularly during thereign of Charles I and, also during the Commonwealth period. In 1696, William III briefly made agrant of the lordship of Denbigh, to the Earl of Portland. The inhabitants of Denbigh objected tothis so strongly that they petitioned Parliament and had the grant rescinded.

Inquisition Post MortemAt this period, when all land was held by the crown, any tenant in chief (who held directly from thecrown) died, his land escheated to the crown. If there was an heir, he paid relief to the crown ontaking possession; if he was under age, the crown had the right of wardship and marriage. i.e. itwas entitled to the revenue of the estate, and to select the heir's bride. These rights could be sold tothe highest bidder. The extent of the crown's rights was determined by the holding of an 'InquisitionPost Mortem'. The resultant inquisition gives details of the lands/properties held, date of death andthe name and age of the heir. This information was sent to the Court of Chancery.N.B. If the land was part of a Lordship e.g. Denbigh, Conwy, Caernarvon the 'Lord' held the rightof wardship and received the relief rather than the Crown.

diem clausit extremum The phrase diem clausit extremum means 'he closed his last day', that is, he had died. A writ ofDiem Clausit Extremum is one by which the heir of a deceased tenant in capite compelled theescheator to ascertain what land should escheat to the king. Upon learning the death of a tenant,the escheator would hold an inquisition post mortem to learn if the king had any rights to the land.These were often preceded by a writ of diem clausit extremum issued by the king to seize the lands.

The Court of Wards and Liveries Lands held of the King/Queen in chief were subject to wardship if they fell by inheritance into thehands of a minor. The King/Queen was entitled to the profits of the estate during the minority; s/hehad the right to choose the ward's marriage partner and to enter his inheritance. In practice, theKing/Queen usually sold these rights to the highest bidder. The Court of Wards and Liveries wasestablished in the early 1540's, to take over the administration of wardship from the Court ofChancery.
