		Thus the ancestor of the present earls of Pembroke and Carnarvon and of the Herbert who was created marquess of Powis was a natural son of the first earl, one Richard Herbert, whom the restored inscription on his tomb at Abergavenny incorrectly describes as a knight.
		He was constable and porter of Abergavenny Castle, and his son William, "a mad fighting fellow" in his youth, married a sister of Catherine Parr and thus in 1543 became nearly allied to the king, who made him one of the executors of his will.
		They include the marquessate of Powis, two earldoms with the title of Pembroke, two with that of Powis, and the earldoms of Huntingdon and Montgomery, Torrington and Carnarvon, the viscountcies of Montgomery and Ludlow, fourteen baronies and seven baronetcies.

		The terraces, sheltered by high walls and with astonishing topiary, especially the 14 enormous yew 'tumps' which overflow down the walls to the terrace below, together with some very impressive heavily scented boxwood, give added protection in what is already a mild climate.

		Further refurbishment was undertaken in 1902 and the garden benefitted enormously from the attentions of Violet the wife of the 4th Earl of Powis who from 1911 onwards determined to transform a deteriorating garden into 'one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, in England and Wales'.
