Kingdom of Powys
The
Kingdom of Powys
was a
Welsh
successor state
,
petty kingdom
and
principality
that emerged during the Middle Ages following the
end of Roman rule in Britain
. Based on the
Romano-British
tribal lands of the
Ordovices
in the west and the
Cornovii
in the east, its boundaries originally extended from the
Cambrian Mountains
in the west to include the modern
West Midlands
region of England in the east. The fertile river valleys of the
Severn
and
Tern
are found here, and this region is referred to in later
Welsh literature
as "the Paradise of Powys".
