Powys

Powys (/ˈp.ɪs/ or /ˈp.ɪs/;Welsh: [ˈpowɪs]) is a principal area, local-government county and preserved county in Mid Wales. It is named after the successor Kingdom of Powys, which formed after the Romans withdrew from Britain.

Geography

Powys covers the historic counties of Montgomeryshire and Radnorshire, most of Brecknockshire (Breconshire), and a small part of Denbighshire — an area of 5,179 km² (2,000 sq miles), making it the largest county in Wales by land area.

It is bounded to the north by Gwynedd, Denbighshire and Wrexham; to the west by Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire; to the east by Shropshire and Herefordshire; and to the south by Rhondda Cynon Taf, Merthyr Tydfil, Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent, Monmouthshire and Neath Port Talbot.

Most of Powys is mountainous, with north-south transport being difficult.

The majority of the Powys population lives in villages and small towns. The largest towns are Newtown, Ystradgynlais, Brecon, and Welshpool with populations of 12,783, 9,004, 7,901 and 6,269 respectively (2001). Powys has the lowest population density of all the principal areas of Wales.

Powys (surname)

Powys is a Welsh surname. Notable people with the surname include:

  • John Cowper Powys, writer, lecturer and philosopher
  • Littleton Powys, judge (1647-1732)
  • Llewelyn Powys, essayist, brother of John Cowper, Philippa and T.F.
  • Philippa Powys, novelist and poet, sister of John Cowper, Llewelyn and T.F.
  • T. F. Powys, writer
  • Thomas Powys (judge), 1649-1719
  • Betsan Powys, political journalist and editor for BBC Wales
  • Of the five people above, the first four are descended from the same family that was clearly found in Ludlow, Shropshire in the sixteenth century. There is evidence, but not strong, from the seventeenth century that the Ludlow Powyses came from Cockshot, also in Shropshire, see the unpublished 1662/3 Visitation of Shropshire in the College of Arms. The Cockshot Powyses (and Powis and Powes, etc.) are to be found in public records from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, see charters in Shropshire Record Office. There are other families of Powis who also are probably descended from this Cockshot outpost. While it is attractive to see all these Powys/Powis/Powes as descended from Wales, there is as yet no clear evidence to support this.

    Wrap it up in Ziploc, back it up and twirl
    Send money to the pent. Mac and C be home soon
    Bitches start snitchin' I'ma send 'em to the moon
    I could sell a hoe a green, front a hustler a lake
    I could never fall off, I'm the "Ghetto Bill" Gates
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 2]: Curren$y
    These lil' niggas can't take it anymore
    I push through the club iced out, low key with my P. Miller galore
    Hoes breakin' down the doors, uhh

    [Chorus]
    [Verse 4]: Master P
    I might be something sly but I won't forget

    I might be country but I'm ghetto rich
    And when it comes to grindin', I started this shit
    I put the G in Ghetto, nigga, call me Ghetto Fab
    Started with some quarters then I flipped it to some halves
    Put the Coke in Coca-Cola, no baking soda
    Call me Pistol P, cuz I slang them granola's
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 5]: T-Bo
    I guess them thangs just got dropped off, the block's hot like hot sauce
    Some cop cars keep passin' I promise y'all they not lost
    Convicted felons noticed when they tryin' to knock ya socks off
    Go braggin' to them hatin' bitches, find how much ya watch cost
    Loose lips, sank ships, bitch, so watch what you sayin'
    It's the New No Limit, baby, got us under surveillance
    And the Feds ain't playin' they kickin' down doors daily
    Ain't this a bitch, I just got off probation
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 6]: Magic
    I'm tryin' to get me a whole chicken (chop it down for the dimes)
    Then flip that bitch quicker than I (flip these rhymes)
    Now I'm on two birds I'ma flip (one more time)
    And I'ma cop the bitch you left behind
    (I'm tryin', I'm hustlin') don't trust me when I'm broke
    And I don't discriminate I want the money and a goat
    Yeah, better hope I wait, I'm ass out (things will get bloody)
    (Four to ya tummy, real messy and ugly)
    [Chorus]
    [Outro]: Master P
