LORDS-LIEUTENANT AND CUSTODES ROTULORUM

OF MONTGOMERYSHIRE,

ALSO OF FLINTSHIRE AND DENBIGHSHIRE.

BY EDWARD BREESE, F.S.A.

In the course of searches made in the British Museum, Record Office and elsewhere for materials for the lists contained in "Kalendars of Gwynedd", the following names were found and jotted down with a view to more perfect registers at a future time. It will be seen that previously to the Restoration (1660), few names have been discovered. But from the time when the appointment of the Custodes in Wales was vested in the Crown (on the abolition of the Court of the President and Council of the Marches in 1688) few, if any, omissions will, I think, be found in the subjoined lists. It may be that some member of the Club can fill up the hiatus between 1543-when the office of Custos in Welsh counties was first created-and 1660. The records of the Court of the Marches, formerly at Ludlow, would furnish all the names. The President of the Marches was Lord Lieutenant of all the North Wales counties. After the abolition of the former office, one and the same person held the lieutenancy for all the North Wales shires till 1761, when George, Earl of Cholmondeley, the last holder, died. For a

full list of the Lords President and the Lords Lieutenant, see "Kalendars of Gwynedd", pp. 21-24. A great part of the two counties of Flint and Denbigh having belonged to ancient Powys, their lieutenants and custodes may fairly be classed with those of Montgomery as connected with Powys-land.
