Seal in green wax, suspended. It is a hexagon with

1 Gilbert de Turberville, sixth lord of Coyty

a central plain shield. Around is a legend, not legible. This charter establishes the existence of Hamon, ancestor of so many branches of the family, and is probable evidence for the marriage of his daughter Matilda with John Alger. The place of Henry de Turbervile in the pedigree is unknown. William was a younger son of Hamon; Cantelow, or Cantelupe, one of a branch of the Baronial family, who gave name to Cantelupeston or Cantleston in Merthyr Mawr.
