Deheubarth was a south-western kingdom or principality of medieval Wales.
Deheubarth was created in about 950 by Hywel Dda ("Hywel the Good") out of the territories of Seisyllwg and Dyfed, both of which had come into his possession.
Deheubarth, like several other Welsh kingdoms, continued to exist until the Norman Conquest of Wales, but constant power struggles meant that only for part of the time was it a separate entity with an independent ruler.

 Gruffydd ap Llywelyn
On the death of Iago ab Idwal in 1039, Gruffydd unexpectedly seized control of Gwynedd, and successfully waged war with Mercia, then attacked the neighbouring principality of Deheubarth[?].
Allying himself with the Mercians, he proceeded to gain considerable ground along what is now the English border, and in 1055 he sacked Hereford.
Deheubarth came back within his power in the same year, and he claimed sovereignty over the whole of Wales - a claim which was recognised by the English.

Upon the death of the last king of Brycheinoig, the kingdom is divided between his sons, and all effective power passes to Deheubarth.

 The Early Welsh Kingdoms, Deheubarth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Normans conquered Deheubarth in 1093, though descendants of the ruling family were allowed to hold authority over Cantref Mawr ("the Great Cantref") and Ystrad Tywi, and from this base the former kingdom of Deheubarth briefly re-emerged in the 12th century under Maredudd ap Gruffydd and the Lord Rhys.
Hywel's three sons split the kingdom of Deheubarth, but after Rhodri died in 953 and Edwin in 954, Owain was able to reconsolidate it.
Deheubarth was overrun by the Normans in 1093, remaining in their possession until 1155.

The Welsh lawbooks of the medieval period, the earliest of which is a text of the 13th century, accorded to Dinefwr a special status as the principal court of the kingdom of Deheubarth.
Deheubarth flourished over a period of relative peace and general harmony, with Welsh culture and religious life, as well as legal and administrative affairs, all benefiting from Rhys’s patronage and self-assured governance.
Deheubarth was never to recover the status it had enjoyed under the Lord Rhys.

In 983, Hywel ab Idwal, in alliance with Ælfhere, ealdorman of Mercia, attacked Deheubarth's north-eastern territories: Brycheiniog and surrounds.
Rule of Deheubarth reverted to the dynasty of Merfyn Frych - Hywel and Maredudd, sons of Edwin ab Einion.
Possibly, having lost Deheubarth, Rhydderch's sons attempted to expand their territory eastwards, since, also in 1035, one of them, Caradog, was killed by the English.

Independent until the end of the 13th century, they have retained their national identity, and continue to exert a substantial influence on the British character.
Nevertheless, it should be noted that the name of Ceredigion was not forgotten, and was being used in a familiar way to at least the 1st quarter of the 9th century.
Deheubarth proper dates from the partition of 909, when Clydog received Seisyllwg and his younger brother Howell was granted Dyfed.

Meanwhile in his absence the country was governed (or often divided) between successive justiciars and the adherents of Richard's recalcitrant brother John Lackland, Count of Mortain, soon to be King John.
As a consequence Deheubarth expanded at a remarkable rate to both the south and east, despite fitful government attempts to staunch the flow.
Rhys' untimely death left his principality and his siege-train to the unlucky hands of his son Gruffydd and the squabbling siblings of the disintegrating principality of Deheubarth.

Castell Nant-y-Gof Bwlch is the sadly ruined castle of a scion of the native princely house of Lord Rhys of the Welsh kingdom of Deheubarth, probably Llwydd ap Maenclochog the Elder.
This castle is located near the hamlet of Gwernogle in Dyfed, on the edge of the Brechfa Forest in a sparsely inhabited and picturesque part of Wales.
Henry Tudor (Henry the Seventh) restored the castle to this family in the course of time, and the heir married the de Plucknet daughter -- that was the Norman family that took over the castle after the fall of Deheubarth.
