Ystad Marchell, Llannerch Hudol and Deuddwr formed the Teirswydd (English: three [commotes] (literally, swydd is post as in an office)) which were among the lands restored into the possession of Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn in return for his homage and fealty by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd at Ystumanner in 1263.[6] Y Gorddwr had remained under the control of the Corbet family (barons of Caus) and therefore the English king.[7]
The cantref of Ystlyg (excluding Y Gorddwr) corresponds to the later hundred of Deuddwr.[3]
