Notes

Bartrum's "Welsh Genealogies".

In 1063, at the age of eight, when his father was slain in the battles

against the English, Gruffydd was living with his mother, the daughter of

the Danish King of Dublin, in Ireland. In 1081, after years of fighting

between the various different descendants of HYWEL THE GOOD (RIN 1436),

Gruffydd was victorious at the battle of Mynydd Carn. At that

time he assumed control of the kingdom of Gwynedd. In the meanime,

however, WILLIAM THE CONQUERER (RIN 798) had installed the Norman

dynasty in England following the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Shortly

after assuming the kingship Gruffydd was captured by the men of

WILLIAM's vassal, Hugh the Fat, Earl of Chester, and imprisoned for

twelve years. Hugh's cousin, Robert, was apparently, for all practical

purposes, the ruler of northern Wales. In about 1094 Gruffydd escaped

from prison and regained control of Gwynedd. In 1098 the earls of

Shrewsbury and Chester launched an unsuccessful military campaign to

remove him from power. Gruffudd consolidated his hold upon Gwynedd

and, for decades, he rebuilt the strength of his kingdom. The kingdom of

Powys was, during this time separated from Gwynedd. Its rulers

henceforth would all be descendants of BLEDDYN ap CYNFYN (RIN 2592). In

the later years of his reign Gruffudd siezed Caridigion and parts of

Powys.
