  	The seat of the de Somerys in Glamorgan was Dinas Powis near Cardiff (founded by the Welsh princes of Glamorgan), the ruins of which are perched on a small knoll of limestone rock rising from the centre of the mouth of a small gorge descending from the west. They consist of a small rectangular oblong court, enclosed within a plain curtain wall just outside which is the ruined keep. They held the chapelry and manor of Cogan.
  Marriage fact	1173-1193	Dinas Powys Castle, Dinas Powys, Glamorgan, Wales, UK
  	Dinas Powis was held by the de Somerys of the de Clares. After earl Roger de Clare died in 1173, his widow Maud conveyed the remainder of the St. Hillary barony to her second husband (or son-in-law) William d'Aubigny (d. 1193), earl of Arundel [Red Book of the Exchequer I. 406/7 - English baronies p. 44]. When William d'Aubigny died in 1193 the Honour reverted to his widow Maud (Roger de Clare's daughter who took her mother's surname of St. Lis) and escheated to the crown. In 1195 Maud senior's son by de Clare obtained the Honour of St. Hillary on the death of his mother. Earl Richard de Clare offered £360 and it was absorbed into the Honour of Clare which included lands in Norfolk and Northampton [Pipe Roll 7 R.I. ed., D.M. Stenton, Pipe Roll Soc., vol. xkiv new ser vi 1929 p.225, Sanders English Baronies p.44].
