		Hywel was born in around 880, the younger son of Cadell ap Rhodri, himself the son of Rhodri the Great.
		Hywel was able to consolidate his position by marrying Elen, whose father Llywarch ap Hyfaidd had ruled Dyfed until his death.
		Hywel's reign, uncharacteristically for the time, was a peaceful one, and he achieved an understanding with Athelstan of England.

	Hywel Dda
		Unodd Hywel eu hetifeddiaeth yn 920 wedi marwolaeth ei frawd a daeth Gwynedd i'w feddiant yn dilyn marwolaeth Idwal Foel yn 942.
		Fel ei daid, Rhodri Fawr, cafodd Hywel enw dodi gan genhedlaeth ddiweddarach.
		Cyfraith Hywel oedd cyfraith gwlad: rhoddai ei enw awdurdod i'r gyfraith, yn debyg i'r hyn a roddwyd i gyfraith y Mers gan y Brenin Offa neu i gyfraith Wessex (a rhan helaeth o Loegr) gan y Brenin Alfred.

	Hwyel Dda / 100 Welsh Heroes / 100 Arwyr Cymru
		Hywel Dda (Hywel the Good) is one of the outstanding figures in the often- clouded early history of Wales.
		This helps to explain Hywel’s appeal to later generations, though some historians have questioned how just how “good” he really was.There is evidence the young king ordered the murder of his brother-in-law, Llywarch, in order to take control of Dyfed.
		As John Davies writes in his History of Wales: “In the age of Hywel, the essential attribute of a state builder was ruthlessness”.

	Hywel Dda, the Good (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The law was Hywel’s law, cyfraith Hywel; his name gave to the authority comparable with that given to the laws of Mercia by King Offa or the laws of Wessex by King Alfred.
		Neither were they attacked by the English, Hywel adhered to his close relationship with England initiated by his father-in-law, Llywarch of Dyfed, yet it is unlikely that he relished the diminution in status and the heavy demands for tribute which resulted from his association with the kingdom of England.
		The earliest extant manuscript of the ‘Laws of Hywel the Good’ dates from the last quarter of the 12th century, but all the manuscripts agree that the laws were framed by his command and under his authority.

		During Hywel's reign at least, the major struggle was never within the borders of Wales, but continued against outside influences, especially English attempts at control.
		Hywel is known to have visited the Pope in Rome in 928, and coins were struck in Wales bearing his name.
		In the development of the nation, which he seems to have kept free from the ravages of the Norsemen, his influence cannot be underestimated, yet even with all his statecraft, authority and fame, he could not succeed in creating a fully-united, independent state that would endure his passing.

		King Hywel (died 950) won the epithet, Hywel Dda (Hywel the Good), probably as a tribute to his codification of the law of Wales.
		The Law of Hywel Dda was modified over the centuries in particular with a view of strengthening the power of the prince.
		Following the conquest of Wales by Edward I, the Law of Hywel was displaced by English law although aspects of it remained in use until at least the 15th century.
