'The King's Writ does not run here':

The Welsh Marcher Lordships

A talk by

Philip Hume,

The Mortimer History Society

The medieval Marcher Lordships were a region between England and Wales that, politically and administratively, didn't belong fully to either. Within each of the 50 lordships, the Marcher Lord had       unique regal-like powers with their own laws, judicial powers, and access to resources and armies.

This talk explores the origins and development of the Marcher Lordships in the context of the 200-year

struggle for control of Wales, with particular reference to the Marcher Lordships of north-east Wales.
