 Gwent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gwent is the area of south-easternmost Wales, in the Welsh Marches.
The mediæval British kingdom of Gwent was the area between the rivers Usk and Wye, and took a name that literally means 'place', or 'the place'.
It consisted of most of the former administrative county of Monmouthshire and the county borough of Newport, along with Brynmawr and Llanelly from Brecknockshire, and therefore not the same area as the previous kingdom.

His principal reason for walking away from the regional side seems to be the Welsh Rugby Union's decision to name the side Gwent Dragons, rather than Newport Gwent Steelers.
Newport and Ebbw Vale have combined as one of the five regional sides - to be coached by former Vale boss Mike Ruddock - but there has been friction between the two 'partners'.
Brown added: "The WRU recommended that Mike Ruddock be the coach of the new region which meant that Newport was now in the situation of having 50% Ebbw Vale shareholder and an Ebbw Vale coach.

Newport's loss was clearly the bigger blow, with James Grindal profiting from the space created by a workmanlike pack and relishing his duel with Gareth Baber.
The visitors were down to 14 men at the time, with Rhys Oakley still waiting to replace the injured Forster - and their defence, not for the first time, was in total disarray as the Falcons moved the ball the full width of the pitch.
Newport, who needed four tries to have a chance of securing a quarter-final spot, breached the Newcastle line just once in the first half - and even then it needed video official Bertie Smith to rule that winger Gareth Wyatt touched down before brushing the corner flag.

 TURNER'S SHOPPING LIST || Newport Gwent Dragons - Unofficial Newport Gwent Dragons News and Views
PAUL Turner, the new Newport Gwent Dragons coach, has laid out a shopping list of the type of player he would like to see at Rodney Parade next season, as well as exploring the possibility of a new role for outside half Ceri Sweeney.
Within hours of being officially unveiled as new coach Turner declared his wish list of a loose head prop, a `hairy' back row forward like Peter Buxton, who was with Newport a few years ago before joining Gloucester, and an outside centre who can kick with his left foot.
Sweeney has lost the plot somewhat at the Dragons with his wayward kicking at goal and out of hand, and he didn't endear himself to fans with his comments directed at the Newport element.
