Lord of Glamorgan

Lord of Glamorgan

The Lordship of Glamorgan was one of the most powerful and wealthy of the Welsh Marcher Lordships. Established by the conquest of Glamorgan from its last Welsh ruler the Anglo-Norman lord of Glamorgan like all Marcher lords ruled his lands directly by his own law, thus they could amongst other things declare war, raise taxes, establish courts and markets and build castles as they willed without reference to the Crown. These privileges were only lost under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542. Though possessing many castles the main seat of the Lordship was Cardiff Castle.
