Arwystli
Arwystli was a cantref in mid Wales in mediaeval times, located in the headland of the River Severn. It was chiefly associated with the Kingdom of Powys, but was heavily disputed between Powys, Gwynedd, and the Norman Marcher Lords for hundreds of years, and was the scene of many skirmishes between those groups. Like many other cantrefs and subdivisions, it was divided up by the Laws in Wales Acts in the 16th century.
==Early history==
During the Roman era Arwystli formed part of the territory of the Ordovices, the Celtic tribe that controlled much of northern Wales. It is unclear when it formed as a distinct unit, but the name itself derives from the personal name ''Arwystl'', borne by a disciple of Dubricius.〔Owen, p. 200; Wade-Evans, p. 42.〕 The first reference to Arwystli occurs in the 11th-century ''Domesday Book'', where it appears as the "hundred of Arvester". At some point it was subdivided into the commotes of Arwystli Is Coed and Arwystli Uwch Coed (Arwystli Below the Wood and Arwystli Above the Wood).〔Lloyd, p. 249.〕 Important settlements included Talgarth, Llandinam, Llanidloes, and Caersws. There is some conjecture that Arwystli may have been associated with the region known as Rhwng Gwy a Hafren ((英語:Between Wye and Severn)). Hubert Hall suggests that it was one of the cantrefs of the obscure region once known as Cynllibiwg, located "between Severn and Wye", mentioned in the Red Book of the Exchequer.〔Hall, vol. II p. 762.〕
