The Lordship of Bromfield and Yale was formed in 1282 by the merger of the medieval commotes of Marford, Wrexham and Yale. It was part of the Welsh Marches and was within the cantref of Maelor in the former Kingdom of Powys. In the records of 1630 and 1649, under Charles Stuart, Prince of Wales, we see the lordship of Bromfield and Yale containing 16 Manors and 63 townships, with John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, recorded as Chief Steward of the lordship. The lordship followed the law of the March rather than the law of England or the law of Wales. rdf:langString

The marcher lordship was originally bestowed on the Earls of Surrey of the Warenne family. In 1347 it passed to the Earls of Arundel of the FitzAlan family, a branch of the House of Howard. In 1415 the male line went extinct and the lordship was divided between three and eventually just two branches of the female line of the Fitzalans. The lordship followed the law of the March rather than the law of England or the law of Wales.
