		At Christmas in that year the Lord Rhys ap Gruffudd held court in splendour at Cardigan, in the castle.
		Lord Rhys ruled supreme in much of Ceredigion (Southwest Wales), and it was he who richly endowed the Abbey at Strata Florida (left) in 1184.
		No longer given an honored place at the courts, the bards could not rely on being permanently employed by the gentry either, so they were forced to travel from home to home on "bardic circuits." They were especially welcome at special occasions such as religious festivals or seasonal feast times.

	Station Information - The Lord Rhys
		The Lord Rhys (in Welsh, "Yr Arglwydd Rhys") is the title given to Rhys ap Gruffydd (about 1132-1197), ruler of Deheubarth, by King Henry II of England.
		Following the deaths of his elder brothers, Rhys inherited the land they had won back from the English in 1155, and proceeded to challenge the new king of England, Henry II (reigned 1154 - 1189).
		Following Henry's death in 1189, Rhys found it difficult to maintain his position, and was obliged to enter into a protracted struggle against the Norman lord, William de Braose.

	Dinefwr Castle
		One of the greatest Welsh leaders of the 12th century, Rhys ap Gruffydd was able to withstand the power of the Anglo-Norman lords of the March, supported on occasion by the intervention of King Henry II (1154-89) of England, and recreate the kingdom.
		Rhys had probably intended that his eldest legitimate son, Gruffydd ap Rhys (d.1201), should inherit the kingdom, but his succession was challenged by two other sons, Maelgwyn ap Rhys (d.1231) and Rhys Gryg (d.1223).
		It seems unlikely that so eminent a personage as the Lord Rhys would not have wished to embellish and strengthen his principal stronghold, especially since he is known to have rebuilt the castle at Cardigan, and possibly that at Nevern, in stone.

		These brothers were loyal servants of Richard II and Rhys and Gwilym accompanied the king on his campaign in Ireland.

	CastleXplorer - Dinefwr Castle
		Lord Rhys had managed to create a strong Welsh kingdom which was even recognised by the King of England.
		Rhys Gryg gained possession of Ystrad Tywi which included the castle of Dinefwr, and he was probably responsible for the earliest stone structures that remain at the castle, including the circular keep.
		Rhys ap Maredudd of Dryslwyn and Rhys Wynod at Dinefwr sought terms with the king and were allowed to keep most of their land, but Dinefwr was confiscated and fell under English control.

		The failure (1165) of the English troops under Henry II in Wales and Henry's later domestic troubles contributed to Rhys's power.
		After Henry's death, however, Rhys revolted against the absent Richard I. The first recorded eisteddfod was held by Rhys in Cardigan in 1176.

	Wales on the Web Lord Rhys — A Biographical Movie Of Lord Rhys (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Born in 1132, Rhys ap Gruffydd, was grandson of Rhys ap Tewdyr, Deheubarth’s ruler who was killed at Brecon in 1093, and thus Gerald of Wales’ kinsman.
		From that time on Lord Rhys, frequent and honoured visitor to Henry’s royal councils, would be totally loyal to the king, even supporting him militarily during major Welsh uprisings of 1173 and 1174, and compelling lesser chieftains to attend English courts at Gloucester and Oxford.
		On Henry 2nd’s death in 1189, Lord Rhys, regarding his loyalty as personal to the king and not to England’s crown, was incensed when Richard “The Lionheart” refused to meet him.

	The Lord Rhys Page Two
		Rhys was more than a little surprised, when Henry told him that he wished him to become the Justicar (High Sheriff) for the whole of west Wales.
		Rhys was soon involved in one more devious event, however it was never proved that he was involved but his men certainly were.
		Under the pretext of both hearing a royal ordinance as to the bearing of arms in Gwent and in answer to an invitation to a banquet given by William de Broase, the leading Welshmen of Gwent were lured to Abergavenny castle.

	Favorite Authors - Jean Rhys
		Though she was successful in publishing several novels and short stories, Rhys never achieved the full-fledged fame that her writing deserves.
		Rhys' style at first appears painfully simple, but the reader soon acknowleges the author's use of potent words that marks her works with a certain sophistication.
		Contrary to what some readers may think, Rhys' words were carefully, painstakingly selected so as to give her readers an accurate and poignant account of society from the point of view of the downtrodden woman.

	The Lord Rhys
		Rhys now came under the guidance and control of his brother Cadell, however it was the ladies of Dinefwr who taught him the finer things such as poetry and verse.
		When it had been overrun the glow of the burning castle in the night sky, caused by Rhys himself torching it, could be seen by the men of Maredudd garrison as they guarded Llanstephan castle; some twenty miles to the north across the waters of Swansea bay.
		Rhys again returned to Cardigan in the summer 1171, but this time he set himself the task of rebuilding both the castle and town.

	8. The Ghost of Lord Clarenceux. Rhys, Ernest, ed. 1921. The Haunters & the Haunted
		The figure did not move as I went in; its back was towards me. At the other end of the room was the doorway, which led to the small bedroom, little more than an alcove, and the gaze of the apparition was fixed on this doorway.
		I fronted the inscrutable white face of Lord Clarenceux, the lover of Rosetta Rosa; I met its awful eyes: dark, invidious, fateful.
		But, as far as I was concerned, that night the eyes held nothing but cruelty and disaster; though I could detect in them the other qualities, these qualities were not for me. We faced each other, the apparition and I, and the struggle, silent and bitter as the grave, began.

	Welsh Princes
		Rhys ap Gruffydd, the Lord Rhys, triumphed over the warring claims of his Welsh and Norman neighbours and the efforts of Henry II to subdue him.
		Rhys negotiated an unlikely alliance with William de Braose in an effort to establish his older son, Gruffydd, as his heir.
		Rhys Mechyll married Reginald's daughter Matilda but by 1248 her hatred of her son exacerbated the family feud which finally destroyed the princes of Deheubarth.

	Ammanford, Carmarthenshire web site
		One of the greatest Welsh leaders of the 12th century, Rhys ap Gruffydd was able to withstand the power of the Anglo-Norman lords of the March, supported on occasion by the intervention of King Henry II (reigned 1154–89) of England, and recreate the kingdom.
		Rhys had raised an army in support of Henry in 1485 so the restoration of the lands was his reward, as was the knighthood granted by Henry just three days after Bosworth.
		The Rhys (or Rice) family may have had their lands at least partially restored in the Tudor and Stuart reigns but the much-sought prestige of a title eluded them for quite some time afterwards, and even then was acquired indirectly by marriage.

	Abbeys
		Lord Rhys, as he was generally known, assumed patronage of Strata Florida and endowed the monastery with generous gifts.
		It is uncertain when exactly the monks moved to their new site but we know that construction of the permanent buildings must have been well under way by 1184, since in Lord Rhys’s charter of that year it was stated that he had ‘begun to build the venerable abbey entitled Stratflur’.
		Lord Rhys had granted the abbey vast tracts of countryside ideally suited to the grazing of cattle and sheep.

	The Lord Rhys
		Immediate retaliation by Rhys and his kinsmen, an attempt to take Carmarthen in 1159, and a successful attack on Llandovery in 1162 pointed for Henry II a recurrent danger: the Welsh prince would not accept an enhanced Anglo-Norman presence in West Wales.
		As the 12th century drew to a close, Rhys was once again engaged in campaigning against the crown and the greater lords of the southern march, and at the same time he was deeply implicated in internal feuds among his kindred.

		Secondly, Rhys foresaw that such an expedition would attract the attention of many of the more adventurous of Robert's Norman kinsmen, and Pembroke would be weakened by the loss of its best warriors.
