Topic: Rhodri Mawr ap Merfyn


In the News (Wed 19 Jun 13)

  
 Powys Succession after 823
Rhodri Mawr is making a name for himself as a power on the battlefield.
The only use the genealogists had for this Llewelyn was to assign a daughter to him and claim that daughter married Owain ap Hywel Dda and delivered Powys to her son, Maredudd ap Owain.
When Llewelyn ap Seisyllt came to power early in the 11th century, all these genealogical fictions now bore fruit: his only claim to the rule of Powys, said the Rhodri Mawr faction, had been obtained by his marriage to the daughter of Maredudd.

 Rhodri Mawr   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Unfortunately, the entire evidence relating to the life of Rhodri consists of a few sentences; yet he must have made a deep impression upon the Welsh, for in later centuries being of the line of Rhodri was a primary qualification for their rulers.
