Ewyas

Ewyas was a marcher lordship on the border of Herefordshire and Wales, including Longtown. In 1337 Bartholomew Burghersh held it through his wife Elizabeth de Verdun, an heir of the de Lacy family.

Longtown Castle had fallen into decay, but was briefly reoccupied in 1403 during Owain Glyndwr's rising. Under the Laws in Wales Acts of 1536, the lordship was dissolved: Ewyas Lacy was absorbed into Herefordshire and the Vale of Ewyas into Monmouthshire.
