Hawise, daughter and heiress of Owen ap Gryffith, the last Prince of Powys, and in her right acquired the feudal barony of POLE, held in capite from the crown; but in the next year, Gryffin de la Pole, uncle to the said Hawise, pretending a right to the castle of Pole, (after Among its distinguished members we may enumerate Lud Charlton, bishop of Hereford; George Charlton, bishop of Landaff; and Guy Charlton, bishop of Chichester. wards called RED CASTLE), raised a body of the Welsh, and regularly besieged it, his niece and her husband being at that time residing therein; whereupon the king directed his precept to Roger de Mortimer, then justice of Wales, to march thither for their relief and protection. Again, however, they were disturbed by the said Gryffin, who had summons to appear before the king, to answer for his proceedings: and to render John Charlton and his wife more secure in their title, they had a royal charter in the 7th of EDWARD II. confirmatory of all their lands and castles in NORTH WALES, SOUTH WALES, and Powys; in which year (26th July, 1313) John Charlton was summoned to parliament as BARON CHARLTON, and from that period to 25th July, 1353.
