a town of Montgomeryshire in North Wales, 198 miles from London, and 32 from Montgomery. It is an ancient town, and has a market on Mondays, and several fairs. In 1811 it contained 1252 inhabitants. It is seated on the river Douay, over which there is a large stone bridge, which leads into Merionethshire. It was here that Owen Glyndwr exercised the first acts of his royalty in 1402. Here he accepted the crown of Wales, and assembled a parliament; and the house wherein they met is now standing, divided into tenements.
