Chirkland

Chirkland (Welsh: Swydd y Waun) was a marcher lordship in north-east Wales, created from parts of Powys Fadog granted to Roger Mortimer, son of Roger Mortimer of Wigmore, and administered from Chirk Castle. Chirkland continued to be ruled as a separate lordship until the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542. After this time, Chirkland became the hundred of Chirk in the newly-created Denbighshire. Most of the former lordship now lies in the county of Powys.
