| 2. | Llywelyn Fawr ap Iowerth, Prince of Wales was born in 1173 in Dolyddelan, Wales (son of Iorwerth Drwyndwn ap Owain and Margaret verch Madog); died on 11 Apr 1240 in Caernarvonshire, Wales. Notes:
Llewelyn I ap Iorwerth (d. 1240), prince of north Wales, was born after the expulsion of his father, Iorwerth, from the principality. In 1194, Llewelyn recovered the paternal inheritance and by 1201 was the greatest prince in Wales. At first he was a friend of King John, whose illegitimate daughter, Joanna, he married in 1201; but the alliance soon fell through, and in 1211 John reduced Llewelyn to submission. In the next year Llewelyn recovered all his losses in north Wales. In 1215 he took Shrewsbury. His rising had been encouraged by the pope, by France and by the English barons. His rights were secured by special clauses in the Magna Carta. But he never desisted from his wars with the Marchers of south Wales, and in the early years of Henry III he was several times attacked by English armies. In 1234, however, a truce was concluded at Middle. In 1239 Llewelyn retired into a Cistercian monastery. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 14, p. 252, LLEWELYN]
