Powys is one of eight counties in
Wales, over 2000 sq. m. in size, and consisting of the former counties of
Montgomeryshire[?],
Radnorshire[?] and
Brecknockshire[?].
This county is named for the older Welsh kingdom of Powys, which occupied roughly the same area, which came to an end when it was absorbed into the kingdom of
Gwynedd by
Hywel Dda.
