  1. Rhodri ab Owain Gwynedd

    Rhodri ab Owain Gwynedd 1135? 1195 was prince of part of Kingdom of Gwynedd Gwynedd , one of the kingdoms of medieval Wales . He ruled from 1175 to 1195. On the death of Owain Gwynedd in 1170, fighting broke out among his nineteen sons over the division of his kingdom.

The other sons were largely killed or exiled between 1170 and 1174. Rhodri acquired part of Gwynedd, but soon afterwards came under pressure from his brother Dafydd who captured and imprisoned him. In 1175 Rhodri escaped from captivity and was able to gain enough support to drive Dafydd out of the part of Gwynedd situated west of the River Conwy . Dafydd and Rhodri then agreed to the partition of Gwynedd between them, with Dafydd retaining only Gwynedd east of the Conwy and the island of Anglesey.

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Maredudd ab Owain Glynd r was a son of Margaret Hanmer and Owain Glynd r . He is thought to have participated in revolt raised by Glynd r in Wales between 1400 and c. 1416 . Early life Little is known about any of the children of Owain Glynd r, and Maredudd s date of birth is unknown. He may have been too young to be involved in the early stages of the revolt. Unlike several of his siblings, Maredudd was not captured by the English in the latter stages of the rebellion. He is said to have fought with the French against the English army of King Henry V at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 . Template Glyndwr, the Hanmers and the Mortimers In 1416 he was back in North Wales , attempting to rally opposition in this area with a force of Scots. He is known to have rejected a Royal pardon for himself, and his father, the following year, proffered by officials of King Henry V of England . Royal pardon In 1420 John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford , the King s younger brother, was empowered to treat with Maredudd ab Owain on behalf of King Henry V, who asked if Maredudd would consider serving the King in Normandy . He declined. Maredudd accepted a pardon, for himself alone, in 1421 . This has been interpreted as evidence that his father was at this point deceased. Owain Glyndwr would have been an elderly man by this time, if still alive. It is not yet known what happened to Maredudd after this. Like his father, he disappears from the record.

    Gruffudd ab Owain Glynd r c.1375 c.1412 was the eldest son of Margaret Hanmer and Owain Glynd r the disinherited Prince of the old Royal house of Powys Fadog who led a major revolt in Wales between 1400 and c.1416. Early life Little is known about any of the children of Owain Glynd r. Gruffudd is recorded as being Owain s eldest son and would be heir to the crown of Wales had his father s rebellion ultimately been successful in creating an independent Wales . Role in the Rebellion He is known to have taken part in a raid in south Wales in 1406, alongside his uncle Tudur ap Gruffudd , and another rebel Captain Rhys Gethin . They were defeated by Prince Henry of Monmouth, later to become King Henry V or possibly John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury . The exact place and date of this battle is subject to dispute, but the Annals of Owain Glyndwr call it the Battle of Pwll Melyn , near Usk . The result appears to have been a major Welsh defeat, the capture of Gruffudd ab Owain Glynd r, and the deaths of Tudur and Rhys Gethin. Imprisonment and death He was sent to the Tower of London and after six years died in prison of bubonic plague . It is not known if he was married or had sired any children of his own.
