Dyffryn Clwyd

Dyffryn Clwyd was a cantref of Medieval Wales and from 1282 a marcher lordship. In 1536, it became part of the new county of Denbighshire. The name means Vale of Clwyd in English and is still the name for that region of north Wales in modern Welsh. Dyffryn Clwyd was one of the cantrefi of Perfeddwlad, and itself was made up of three commotes, Colion, Dogfeiling and Llannerch.[1]

The lordship was granted in 1282 to Reginald de Grey, 1st Baron Grey de Wilton,[2] Justice of Chester and Edward I's commander for his campaign of 1282 into north Wales. The lordship remained in the Grey family until Richard Grey, 6th Baron Grey de Ruthyn, 3rd Earl of Kent sold it to Henry VII in 1508.

gollark: But short-duration ones would be annoying.
gollark: Well, it could do that easily as long as it doesn't try to do simulate itself doing future reminders during that time.
