 the History
Llywelyn, grandson of Owain Gwynedd, was born in 1173, probably at Dolwyddelan.
Llywelyn swore an oath of allegiance to King John in 1201 and at first their relationship was a cordial one, Llywelyn marrying King John`s daughter, Joan, in 1205.
And then Llywelyn, being unable to suffer the oppression of the king, by the council of his leading men, sent to the king his wife, who was daughter to the king, to make peace between him and the king on whatsoever terms she could".

 Llywelyn the Great   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Llywelyn was born in 1173, the grandson of Owain Gwynedd.
Llywelyn died in 1240 and a power struggle arose between his legitimate son, Dafydd, and his older, illegitimate son, Gruffydd, who according to Welsh law had equal rights of inheritance.
Gruffydd was killed attempting to escape from the Tower of London in 1244, leaving the field clear for Dafydd, but Dafydd himself died without heirs in 1246, and was eventually succeeded by his nephew, Llywelyn the Last.

 Ll Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Gruffydd's revenge was to lay Dyfed and Seisyllwg to waste with alliance to new Earl Svein of Mercia in order to have Saxon support of his claim to Deheubarth.
Gruffydd ap Llywelyn was undoubtedly the outstanding Welsh ruler of the 11th century and the most distinguished prince to emerge since the days of Hywel Dda.
The defeat and death of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn were a disaster for Gwynedd and for Wales, and it might be expected that ten or fifteen years would pass before the damage had been contained, and before the next leading figure among the Welsh princes could be identified.

The problem was that Llywelyn claimed that the status in relation to the King of England was the same enjoyed by the King of Scotland - that barons were to pay their homage directly to him and not the king, but King John took a different view.
Llywelyn made a bold and successful attempt to put this dangerous Welsh law aside in favor of the English system, and finally got the consent of King Henry III - or his advisors - to agree to the succession of David as his sole heir.
Gruffydd ap Llywelyn (d.1244), the illegitimate son of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth and Owain Goch's father, spent much of his life in prison and was eventually to die whilst attempting to escape from incarceration.

Gruffydd ap Cynan was buried on the north side of the high altar.
There is some evidence to suggest that Madog ap Cynfrig, the Archdeacon of Mon, who took the place of Bishop Anian during his absence, and Adda ap Ynyr, may have been directly involved in a conspiracy against Llywelyn, luring him southwards to the area around Buellt(Builth) in the hope of securing support from the Mortimers.
Llywelyn Fawr was a regular visitor to the Abbey, and probably had a hall less than 200 yards to the south west of the church.

His son, Dafydd, used the title 'Prince of Wales' towards the end of his short reign and this was also taken up by his nephew and successor, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, who at first shared power with his brother, Owain Goch, under the auspices of Henry III of England.
Llywelyn died in a minor skirmish after a long struggle for peace and political unity, including an alliance with Simon de Montfort, the leader of the civil war against the weak Henry III.
Another claimant, Owain Lawgoch (Redhand), a grandson of Rhodri, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd's younger brother, who had been brought up in England, never managed to gather enough support to invade but was taken seriously enough to be assassinated by John Lamb, a Scot in English pay, in 1378.
