Iâl, Medieval commote in Denbighshire, United Kingdom
The commote of Iâl stretched across the territory of Maelor, incorporating strategic positions and settlements throughout the Welsh countryside.
During the division of the Kingdom of Powys in 1160, Iâl became part of Powys Fadog under the governance of the Royal House of Mathrafal.
The settlement of Llanarmon-yn-Iâl contained a shrine dedicated to Saint Germanus, making it the administrative center of the medieval commote.
The strategic location of Iâl between England and Wales resulted in the construction of multiple fortifications, including Tomen y Faerdre castle.
The Pillar of Eliseg, erected in the 9th century by King Cyngen ap Cadell, stands as a testament to the ancient lineage of Powys rulers.
