The Diocese of Monmouth was created in 1921, when the Church in Wales was 'disestablished' from the Church of England.

In local government terms, the territory of the Diocese covers the City of Newport, Monmouthshire, the county boroughs of Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen, part of the City of Cardiff, part of the county borough of Caerphilly, and even a (very) small part of Herefordshire in England.

The famous Monmouth cap was worn with pride at the Battle of Agincourt, which is appropriate as Henry V, the illustrious soldier King, was born at Monmouth Castle in 1387.
Monmouth is twinned with the town of Carbonne, in the south-west of France and Waldbronn in Germany.
Little remains of Monmouth Castle, the birthplace of HENRY V. It dates from soon after the Norman invasion of 1066 and was part of a chain of might stone castles in the area, used as based for controlling the local people and for further conquests westwards.

 Geoffry of Monmouth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Fifty years after the Norman Conquest, there was a strong interest in the history of Britain, and twelfth-century chroniclers, such as William of Malmesbury ( Gesta Regum Anglorum, 1125) and Henry of Huntington ( Historia Anglorum, 1139), wrote long and ambitious histories dedicated to their patrons.
Writing for these same powerful men, Geoffrey of Monmouth created a very different type of history in his Historia Regum Britanniae ("History of the Kings of Britain"), which he completed sometime before 1139 (1136 or 1138 usually are mentioned).
Henry of Huntington, who was archdeacon of the diocese in which Geoffrey lived, was amazed to discover a copy in Normandy, which he used in his own history, omitting, however, much of the Arthurian detail.
