Other sources, as yet unverified, suggest that Roger Mortimer and the Marchers counter-attacked and defeated the princes of Deheubarth at Abergavenny in March 1263.
Battlefields Trust records refer to a battle in 1263 on the "Blorenge Mountains" (nprn 404987), which are some 3km to the south west of Abergavenny; there may be a connection with the battle(s) mentioned above.
