| Notes for Gruffyd AP LLYWELYN , Prince of Deheubarth |
"[He] inflicted a series of defeats on the English, and made alliances with the enemies of King Edward the Confessor. Gruffydd fought a long campaign against rival kings to win overall control of Wales. By 1055, he had become master of Deheubarth and had expanded his rule to the lesser kingdoms of Morgannwg (Glamorgan) and Gwent. In 1063, Earl Harold Godwinsson (later Harold II) and his brother Tostig made a joint attack on Gwynedd. At the same time, Deheubarth rebelled against Gruffydd's rule.Gruffydd fled and was murdered by his own men.
"Maredudd ap Gruffydd, the son of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, was excluded from the throne by his uncles Bleddyn ap Cynfyn and Rhywallon ap Cynfyn."153 |
