	Llywelyn Fawr - Wicipedia
		Llywelyn Fawr (Llywelyn ap Iorwerth) (1173 - 11 Ebrill, 1240), ŵyr Owain Gwynedd, oedd tywysog Gwynedd a llyw Cymru.

	Dafydd ap Llywelyn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Llywelyn had Dafydd recognised as Prince of Wales by his uncle King Henry III of England in 1220 (the first to hold this title officially), and also had Dafydd's mother Joan declared legitimate by the Pope to strengthen Dafydd's position.
		Since Dafydd's marriage to Isabella, daughter of William de Braose, Lord of Abergavenny had failed to produce an heir, the two sons of Gruffydd, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd and Owain ap Gruffydd, divided Gwynedd between them and continued the war with King Henry through 1246.
		In April 1247 Llywelyn and Owain met the King at Woodstock and came to terms with him at the cost of the loss of much territory.

	Llywelyn the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Llywelyn was born in 1173, possibly at Dolwyddelan, the grandson of Owain Gwynedd.
		Following King John's death Llywelyn concluded a treaty, the Peace of Worcester, with his successor Henry III in 1218 whereby he was confirmed in possession of all his recent conquests.
		Llywelyn had departed from tradition by naming Dafydd as his sole heir, as he recognised the Welsh custom of dividing inheritance equally amongst all male sons prevented a cohesive polity from forming, preventing a united Wales.

	the History
		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.
		Llywelyn`s ability to develop and increase the military and economic strength within Wales is considered to be a key factor in his success.
		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: 2007-10-09)
		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.
		Llywelyn had departed from tradition by naming Dafydd as heir, because he recognised the inherent flaws in Welsh law.
		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.

		Llywelyn`s daughter Helen married John the Scot, the nepher and heir of Ranulf de Blundebille, the earl of Chester.
		It was probably Llywelyn who built the original keep.Following the siege and capture in 1283, it was placed in the custody of Gruffydd ap Tudor, who had changed allegiance from Dafydd ap Gruffydd to the king and who was now being rewarded for his support.
		In 1221 it is recorded that Llywelyn ap Iorwerth took back control of the area from his son and began to build a castle for himself, it is thought that Castell y Bere was the result.

		Dafydd ap Gruffudd was the youngest of the four sons of Gruffudd ap Llywelyn, the son of Llywelyn the Great.
		The war of 1282, in which Llywelyn was killed and his principality was destroyed, began when Dafydd, dissatisfied with his rewards, raised in revolt and captured Hawarden Castle.
		In the story of the fall of the Principality of Wales, it is difficult to disagree with John Speed's comment that Dafydd was 'the chiefest firebrand in this fatall combustion'.

		Llywelyn ap Iorwerth was the latest in a succession of men who had battled his way into power, and as the reigning Prince of Gwynedd, his primary goal was to unite the rest of the Welsh and maintain peace with England.
		Dafydd (who by the mysteries of brotherly love had been admitted back into the fold) launched an attack on the English border castle of Hawarden without Llywelyn's consent, and he was forced to choose whether to support his liege lord or his brother.
		Llywelyn ap Gruffudd was killed near Builth in Dec. 1282, and Dafydd became the last Prince of Wales.

	Llywelyn the Last - Wikpedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Although a capable military leader, Llywelyn lacked the political acumen of his grandfather, and made an unnecessary enemy of King Edward I of England by continuing to ally himself with the family of Simon de Montfort even after a precarious peace with the English had been concluded.
		Llywelyn's capable military leadership might still have prevailed, but he was ambushed and killed at Cilmeri, near Builth Wells, while attempting to rally support in south Wales.
		Llywelyn's daughter, Gwenllian, was sent to the convent of Sempringham in Lincolnshire, where she died in her fifties.

		This policy was pursued by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (died 1240), his son, Dafydd ap Llywelyn (died 1246) and his grandson, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (died 1282).
		Llywelyn was killed near Builth on 11 December 1282 and Dafydd was executed at Shrewsbury in 1283.
		Following Llywelyn's defeat, his principality was organised into six counties which were granted to the king's heir; thus the principality of Wales survived as an adjunct of the crown of England.

		And Maelgwn ap Rhys lost as it were the bolts and stays of all his territory and all else he had to his name, to wit the castles of Llandovery and Dinefwr to the sons of Gruffudd, his brother.
		And as Gruffudd ap Llywelyn and some of his men along with him were in the king of England's prison in London, he planned to escape and threw a rope through the tower window and sought to escape along it; but through ill-fate the rope broke, and he fell, so that his neck was broken.
		In this year Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, and Maredudd ap Rhys and Maredudd ab Owain along with him, went against the land of Gruffudd ap Gwenwynwyn, and he gained possession of it all except the castle of welshpool and a portion of the valley of the Severn.

		A month after inheriting Gwynedd in April 1240, he met his uncle and overlord, Henry III, who insisted that Dafydd should send to England his half brother Gruffudd, who could be used as a threat to ensure Dafydd's compliance with the king's wishes.
		Freed from a rival, Dafydd sought to re-establish the position enjoyed by his father but he died in 1246 before fully realising his ambitions.

		LITTLE IS KNOWN of Dafydd ap Gwilym apart from what he himself has chosen to reveal in his polished and sophisticated verse, and this slender information is ambiguous in the extreme.
		Dafydd's range of personal contacts included his fellow-poet Gruffudd ab Adda, Madog Benfras, and Gruffudd Gryg - the last being an Anglesey poet with whom Dafydd exchanged a sequence of cywyddau in the form of a debate concerning the proper subjects to be treated of in the newly-introduced cywydd verse-form.
		Dafydd's uncle may, perhaps, have been the first to have introduced Dafydd to the "two cultures" - that is to the native bardic tradition as well as to the language and poetry and romances of the Anglo-Norman world.

		By 1212 most of this ground had been won back by Llywelyn allied to barons opposed to John, and he was Prince of all Wales not ruled by the Normans by 1216.
		His rights were secured by clauses 56 to 58 of the Magna Carta, but this did not prevent his being forced to retreat, in 1223, behind a boundary drawn between Cardigan and Builth, although his rule was still accepted by most Welsh princes in the south.
		In his later years he turned the government over to his son Dafydd ap Llywelyn, and in 1239 retired to a Cistercian monastery at Aberconwy, where he died the following year.
