In late 1253, after Dafydd had sworn homage to the king, Henry III ordered Owain Goch and Llywelyn to give their brother a reasonable share of their land. This was to be done according to Welsh custom, and without delay. The brothers fell to arguing. In January 1254 Henry ordered four nobles to go to North Wales to mediate between Dafydd and Llywelyn, and listen to any complaints that Owain put forward. These lords were two Englishmen, Alan de Zouche and John Lestrange, and two Welsh, Gruffydd ap Madog of Powys Fadog and Gruffudd ap Gwenwynwyn. The parties were supposed to meet at Chester, five weeks before Easter, to settle any differences. A report of the outcome would then be sent to the king and council in London.
