REF: The Reckoning, Sharon Kay Penman: de Grey was universally the most hated by the Welsh of all of Edward "Longshank's henchmen/Marcher Lords.

He let English murderers go free if the victims were Welsh; he enforced the utterly alien (to the Welsh) English forest laws with impunity & violence; he siezed his Welsh court defendants by power of arms (before any veridct had been returned & sometimes kilkled them); he siezed Welsh lands & forests without reimbursement.
