Digitized by Google Here were the stations of Venta Siluram, Caergwcnt ; Blestium, Monmouth ; Isca Silurum, probably Cacrleon . BuUium, or Bultrum, Usk ; and Gobanium, Abergavenny. Remains of tesselated pavements, altars, urns, coins, and other Roman antiquities, have been found in various places. After the Romans quitted Britain, a consi- derable part of this county appears to have formed an independent state called Gwent, or Gwentland, governed by princes, or chiefs, who defended their territ...ories against the Anglo-Saxons and the Norjnans, till the conquest of Wales by Edward I. Monmouthshire was afterwards a part of the marches of Wales, and it was erected into a distinct county by act of parliament in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Henry VIII. Owen Glendower was defeated at Usk, in 1405, by the troops of Henry IV. In the civil war, under Charles I., Chepstow Castle, which had been garrisoned for the king, was taken by the Parliamentarians, in 1645, and having been recovered, was retaken in 1648 ; and Ragland Castle was taken the same year, after having been bravely defended for the king, by the celebrated Marquis of Worcester.
