Pembrokeshire was formed as a county palatine in 1138. In the south east, Norman advancement led to the creation of marcher lordships, such as Glamorgan, which served as semi-autonomous administrative divisions, although these were not counties in the true sense as they lacked the formal structure. Some towns within these areas did, however, receive charters which outlined rights and duties in much the same way as a borough. Counties in the strict sense first appeared with the establishment of Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire in the 1240s. In 1284 the Principality of Gwynedd was divided into three counties: Anglesey, Caernarvonshire and Merionethshire. Before the end of the century, Flintshire had also become a county, and thus nearly half the territory of Wales was under the rule of the English Crown. While the arrangement did not officially bring the marcher lordships in the South directly under the King's control, many such lordships were held by the King personally, although some remained under the semi-autonomous control of powerful local families. The formation of counties was completed under the Laws in Wales Act 1535, which created Montgomeryshire, Denbighshire, Radnorshire, Brecknockshire and Monmouthshire, many from existing marcher lordships now recreated as counties proper. </p><p>These 13 counties were the main administrative subdivisions of Wales from 1536 until the implementation in 1974 of the <a href="/wiki/Local_Government_Act_1972" title="Local Government Act 1972">Local Government Act 1972</a>, although the definition and role of the smaller <a href="/wiki/County_boroughs" class="mw-redirect" title="County boroughs">county boroughs</a> within the counties during that period saw considerable change, as it did across the United Kingdom. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cantrefi_and_Commotes">Cantrefi and Commotes</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Subdivisions_of_Wales&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Cantrefi and Commotes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Cantref" title="Cantref">cantref</a> and <a href="/wiki/Commote" title="Commote">commote</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hundreds">Hundreds</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Subdivisions_of_Wales&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Hundreds"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_hundreds_of_Wales" title="List of hundreds of Wales">List of hundreds of Wales</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Regions">Regions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Subdivisions_of_Wales&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Regions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Regions_of_Wales" title="Regions of Wales">Regions of Wales</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Regional_partnership_areas">Regional partnership areas</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Subdivisions_of_Wales&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Regional partnership areas"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Wales_City_Regions_map.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Wales_City_Regions_map.svg/220px-Wales_City_Regions_map.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="263" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Wales_City_Regions_map.svg/330px-Wales_City_Regions_map.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Wales_City_Regions_map.svg/440px-Wales_City_Regions_map.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="612" /></a><figcaption>Map of the four CJCs in Wales: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r981673959">.mw-parser-output .legend{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .legend-color{display:inline-block;min-width:1.25em;height:1.25em;line-height:1.25;margin:1px 0;text-align:center;border:1px solid black;background-color:transparent;color:black}.mw-parser-output .legend-text{}</style><div class="legend"><span class="legend-color mw-no-invert" style="background-color:#FFEBEB;
