Powis
Powis was a Welsh marcher lordship descended from southern Powys, with its seat at Welshpool. In 1337 John Charlton held it through his marriage to the heiress Hawys and was appointed Chief Justiciar of Ireland.
Charlton's descendants held the lordship until 1421, when it passed through an heiress to the Grey family. The Laws in Wales Acts of 1535 to 1542 incorporated the lordship into Montgomeryshire; the Herbert family later bought Powis Castle.
