| Notes for Llywelyn AP IOWERTH , Prince of Wales |
"[He] defeated his uncle Dafydd in 1194 and was acknowledged as overlord by other Welsh princes. At first Llywelyn was on good terms with King John of England and he married King John's daughter Joan in 1206. However, after King John attacked him in 1210, Llywelyn allied hinself with the barons who opposed King John. When the barons pressured King John to sigh the Magna Charta in 1215, the rights of Llywelyn and the Welsh were recognised.
"Llwelyn married first to Gwenllian. Llwelyn married second to Joan, a daughter of King John of England. [One of their children was] Dafydd ap Llywelyn Fawr who succeeded his father as Prince of Gwynedd from 1240 until his death in 1246. The throne then passed to his nephew Llywelyn ap Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Fawr. Llwelyn married third to Tangwystyl Goch. [One of their children was] Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Fawr, [whose son was] Llywelyn ap Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Fawr, also known as "Llywelyn the Last", Prince of Wales from 1246 to 1282. Llywelyn paid homage to King Henry III in 1247, but after rebelling several times he was killed in battle on December 11, 1282 during the reign of King Edward I. Llywelyn was the last of the Welsh princes to rule over an independent Wales."153 |
