OBHAG Zoom Talk Friday 10th December 7.30pm
'The King's Writ does not run here': The Welsh Marcher Lordships. Philip Hume
The medieval Marcher Lordships formed a separate region that, for nearly 450 years, lay between England and Wales, with its own laws, judicial structures and administration. Within each of the nearly 50 lordships, the Marcher Lord had unique regal-like powers. 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 Lordship of Oswestry.
Philip Hume is the author of The Welsh Marcher Lordships I: Central and North (Logaston Press, March 2021), and editor of the Marcher Lordship series, On the Trail of the Mortimers (Logaston Press, 2016), co-author of The Ludlow Castle Heraldic Roll (Logaston Press, 2019), and author of articles in various journals. Philip is the Secretary of the Mortimer History Society.
