Kilchon

This small barony is situated in the southern part of Carthmoor, just west of the Barony and Port of Dunluce.  From antiquity it belonged to the family of Sainte-Beuve, which became extinct in the year 856.  The holding was then given to the Baron Dunluce, but he was deprived of his estates by the Regents in the year 917, and the title passed to Rhys Michael Duke of Carthmoor later King of Gwynedd.  It was granted by King Malcolm to Perrin the natural son of the Prince Aidan late Duke of Valoret on the 17th day of August in the year 1036. Kilchon is known for its vintage wines, the finest in all Gwynedd.  Lord Perrin achieved great fame by perfecting the Perrinine rosé over a 30-year period, sending the 1st  samples to his patron the King in the year 1069.
