The Anglo-Welsh Border

• Principality of Wales


  • Lands governed as part of it
  • Four bordering English counties under its jurisdiction: Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Gloucestershire
• Council of Wales and the Marches

  Based at Ludlow in Shropshire
• The Council of Wales and the Marches offered relatively cheap and local access to the law
• The Council of Wales and the Marches could therefore be seen as a benefit to the area under its jurisdiction
