Comments: Arundel is the title by which the Earls of Shropshire --or Salops-- are most commonly known. The Romans took the land from the Ordovices in the 1st century A.D.. Overrun by the barbarians in the 6th century, it became part of the Kingdom of Mercia. Later it passed to England, eventually becoming a county palatine, in defense against the Welsh, a status which was suppressed in the 13th century. The shire is under the religious authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury. There is some commerce in Shrewsbury, but otherwise the province is agricultural.
