For many years, it was thought (by me) that the Barony of Poorstock/Powerstock was reduced by King Stephen and other lands traded, but it appears there is other information that shows the Newburghs held the Powerstock barony until around 1338. I. J. Sanders author of the book English Baronies gives a fresh perspective on the barony and what it might have meant to the Newburghs in the 14th and 15th centuries. Have a look.
