The last hereditary Welsh prince, Owain Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn, built Powis castle as a craggy fort in the 13th century; the estate was his reward for abandoning Wales to the rule of the English monarchy. But its most spectacular treasures date from a much later period of English conquest and appropriation: Powis is simply awash with loot from India, room after room of imperial plunder, extracted by the East India Company in the 18th century. I can understand that why BBC team did not show British Indian Mughal artefacts stacked in this private house? BBC is always biased as usual...
Beautiful
Powis Castle is in Welshpool and therefore in MID Wales
