Hi Tom At that time, I think it was part of one of the Marcher Lordships - as far as I can tell, the county of Breconshire did not come into existence until the Act of Union in 1536. The manor of Tretower is mentioned on the Archives network site at http://www.archivesnetworkwales.info/cgi-bin/anw/fulldesc_nofr?inst_id=1&coll_id=20252&expand= which will give you some history as to who owned it when. I assume you have seen the Castles of Wales page: http://www.castlewales.com/tretwr.html Best wishes Barbara Griffiths Coventry UK

Hi Barbara and Julie, My thanks to both of you for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated. Regards Tom Dunn
