For iron mallets for breaking the rocks in the ditch of the Castle of Yale. --The entry in the Pipe Roll for 1212-13, by King John of England when he re-occupied the site in 1212
During the Conquest of Wales by King Edward Longshanks, Iâl would be taken very early on and added to the county of Shropshire, annexing the commote into the Kingdom of England. It would be around that time that the Welsh name Ial would be anglicised to Yale. However, the commote would remain Welsh in culture and retain Welsh laws and customs under the terms accorded by the Statute of Rhuddlan.
The rest of the Lordship of Yale was divided into two manors called the Manor of Yale Raglaria, and the Manor of Yale Praepositura, dating back to the Welsh period before English rule.[10][11] Anglicized as the Manor of Yale Raglar, it later belonged to Roger, son of John Wynne, ancestor of the Rogers of Bryntagor and the Yales of Plas-yn-Yale.[12][13]
His descendants, the House of Yale (Yale family), cadets and co-representatives of the Mathrafal Dynasty, took their surname from the commote of Iâl, later the lordship of Yale.[25][26][27][28][29][30] Their seat was at Plas-yn-Yale Manor, near the village of Bryneglwys and the Yale Chapel, built during the Tudor era.[31]
