Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 1095. Among these things it was made known to the king (age 39), that the Welshmen in Wales had broken into a castle called Montgomery, and slain the men of Earl Hugo, that should have held it. He therefore gave orders to levy another force immediately, and after Michaelmas went into Wales, and shifted his forces, and went through all that land, so that the army came all together by All Saints to Snowdon. But the Welsh always went before into the mountains and the moors, that no man could come to them.
In 1309 Hugh Audley 1st Baron Audley of Stratton Audley (age 42) was appointed Governor of Montgomery Castle.
