The county of Monmouthsire came into existence in 1536 and consisted in the main of the marcher lordships of Newport, Abergavenny, Monmouth, Chepstow, Caerleon and Usk. The second Act of Union, that of 1543 established the Court of Great Session, a distinct Welsh system of courts based upon four three-county circuits: Anglesey, Caernarfon and Merionnydd; Flint, Denbigh and Montgomery; Cardigan, Carmarthen and Pembroke; Radnor, Brecon and Glamorgan.
