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".
==Name==
The name Powys is thought to derive from Latin ''pagus'' 'the countryside' and ''pagenses'' 'dwellers in the countryside', also the origins of French "pays" and English "peasant".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://powysenc.weebly.com/powys-name---presteigne.html )〕 During the Roman Empire, this region was organised into a Roman province, with the capital at Viroconium Cornoviorum (modern Wroxeter), the fourth-largest Roman city in Britain. An entry in the ''Annales Cambriae'' concerning the death of King Cadell ap Elisedd says that the land later called Powys was originally known as Ternyllwg.〔Cambrian Archaeological Association. ''Archaeologia Cambrensis'': "The Pillar of Eliseg", (p. 297 ). W. Pickering, 1851. Accessed 27 Feb 2013.〕
