Edward (Cherleton) de Cherleton KG is also named in Magna Carta Ancestry, vol. I, pages 425-432, CHERLETON, in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Thomas Lloyd to surety barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger Bigod that was badged by the Magna Carta Project on 18 December 2021. See this trail in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.
See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
Powys-321 and Cherleton-4 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles are the same person, because he is referred to as feudal Lord of Powis he is sometimes given the name of Powis or Powys, but The Complete Peerage, 2nd ed., vol. 3, p. 161 calls him Edward Cherleton. These two profiles have same birth date and date he died also indicating they are the same person.

Credit and links are of course appreciated. And send me a link when you're done. I would love to see it. Best, Scott" ... No. Thank you, Scott. [1]
possibly this profile is in the trail marked "ready for review" at Base Camp from Thomas Lloyd? (It is in the return from the relationship finder for Thomas Lloyd-177 & Cherleton-5, but other profiles in that trail look a bit less developed than one would expect in a trail ready for review.)
