BAGILLT , a See also:

town of Flintshire, See also:North See also:Wales, 141 M. from See also:Chester, on the See also:London & North Western railway, in the See also:ancient See also:parish of See also:Holywell. Pop. (19o1) 2637. Its importance is due to its See also:zinc, See also:lead, See also:iron, See also:alkali and kindred See also:works, and its collieries. Above Bagillt is Bryn Dychwelwch, " See also:Hill of See also:Retreat," so called from the retreat effected by See also:Owen Gwynedd, when pursued by See also:Henry II., with See also:superior See also:numbers. Near is Mostyn See also:Hall, dating from the See also:time of Henry VI., the seat of one of the See also:oldest Welsh families. Here are antiquities and See also:MSS. (old See also:British See also:history and Welsh, brought from Gloddaeth), a See also:harp dated 1568, torques (torchau), &c. Henry VII,, then See also:earl of See also:Richmond, is said to have been concealed here in the reign of See also:Richard III., when the See also:lord of Mostyn was Richard ap Howel. BAGIMOND'S See also:ROLL. In 1274 the See also:council of See also:Lyons imposed a tax of a tenth See also:part of all See also:church revenues during the six following years for the See also:relief of the See also:Holy See also:Land. In See also:Scotland See also:Pope See also:Gregory X., entrusted the collection of this tax to See also:Master Boiamund (better known as Bagimund) de Vitia, a See also:canon of See also:Asti, whose roll of valuation formed the basis of ecclesiastical See also:taxation for some centuries.

Boiamund proposed to assess the tax, not according to the old conventional valuation but on the true value of the benefices at the time of See also:

assessment. The See also:clergy of Scotland objected to this innovation, and, having held a council at See also:Perth in See also:August 1275, prevailed upon Boiamund to return to See also:Rome for the purpose of persuading the pope to accept the older method of taxation. The pope insisted upon the tax being collected according to the true value, and Boiamund returned to Scotland to superintend its collection. A fragment of Bagimond's Roll in something very like its See also:original See also:form is preserved at See also:Durham, and has been printed by See also:James Raine in his Priory of Coldingham (Publications of the See also:Surtees Society, vol. xii.). It gives the real values in one See also:column and tenth parts in another column of each of the benefices in the archdeaconry of See also:Lothian: The actual taxation to which this fragment refers was not the tenth collected by Boiamund but the tenth of all ecclesiastical See also:property in See also:England, Scotland, Wales and See also:Ireland granted by Pope See also:Nicholas IV. to See also:Edward I. of England in the See also:year 1288. The fragment should therefore be regarded as supplementary to the Taxatio Ecclesiastica Angliae et Walliae printed by the See also:Record Commissioners in 1802. Although no contemporary copy of Bagimond's Roll is known to exist, at least three documents give particulars of the taxation of the Church of Scotland in the 16th See also:century, which are based upon the original roll. See Statuta Ecclesiae Scoticanae (See also:Bannatyne See also:Club, See also:Edinburgh, 1866).
