Dear Listers,
Following a recent discussion on the Powys List, I've just uploaded a new
webpage onto my website, displaying the arguments against the claim that
Monmouthshire is (or was) in England.
The discussion includes a long extract from Thomas Nicholas's "Annals and
Antiquities of the Counties and County Families of Wales", published in
1872, in which he quotes verbatim from the Act of Union of 1536.
To visit this new webpage, go to my 'Maps of Wales' feature, select
'Geography of Wales' and scroll down to the 'Counties of Wales' section
and
click on the link included under 'Note 2'.
'Maps of Wales' is at:

Kind regards,
John
