Notes about Owain ap Gruffudd , Lord de la Pole

Owen ap Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn alias de la Pole (ie. of Welshpool);allegedly surrendered the principality of Powis to Edward I in the late13th century, though the principality had already been the subject ofconstant fighting and dispute between the Kings of England and Llywelynthe Last, Prince of Wales, receiving from Edward I in return the samearea as a free Baron of England (ie. as Lord of a feudal barony).[Burke's Peerage]

---------------------------

Observations.- The Welsh principality of Powis is said to have beenestablished as a feudal barony by surrender to Edward I, in theParliament at Shrewsbury, 1283, by Owen ap Griffith ap Gwenwynwyn, whoreceived it again from the King "sub nomine et tenura liberi BaronagiiAngliæ, resignando Domino Regi heredibus suis et Coronæ Angliæ nomen etcirculum principatus." This date should be accepted with reserve, becauseOwen did not succeed his father in possession till 1286; while theallegiance of Powis had varied between Llewelyn arid Edward, 1277-83,according to the fortune of war. The date 1286 is given below as that ofthe succession of the first lord of Powis, from whose time allegiance toEngland remained undisturbed.
