Here Be Dragons
What law forces Llewelyn's mother, Marared, to allow her son to remain in Wales and reclaim his father's lands?
.
.
Marared is forced to allow Llewelyn to remain in Wales after attending the funeral of her brother Owain because of a Welsh law that states that a boy should be recognized as a man at the age of fourteen. As long as Llewelyn is on Welsh soil he is considered a man and able to leave his family without their consent, where in England he would remain a ward of Hugh Corbet until his twenty-first birthday.
