	Monmouth & Monmouthshire's colourful History : Wales
		As the early lords of Monmouth were Bretons, many of these customs survived until 1256 when the lordship passed to the House of Lancaster and in so doing became firmly linked to the English crown.
		To emphasise this the western walls of Monmouth castle are twice as thick as those facing England.
		The matter was settled politically by the Act of Union (1536), which in order to abolish the anarchy in the Marcher lordships, divided Wales into the thirteen counties, twelve of them under the Welsh Court of Great Sessions, the thirteenth, Monmouthshire, under the English courts and in the Oxford Circuit.
