Gwynedd, kingdom of The kingdom was based upon Snowdonia and Anglesey, extending at its height to include territory to the east of the Conwy. It was one of the immediate post‐Roman kingdoms of the 6th cent., ruled by Maelgwn ( Maelgwn Gwynedd), said to be a descendant of
Cunedda. From the outset Gwynedd was one of the most significant of the Welsh kingdoms, with claims to overlordship, and pursuing an expansionary policy. Its downfall came from over ambition on limited resources. Gwynedd took advantage of English divisions during the reign of Henry III to reassert itself and the treaty of
Montgomery in 1267 gave it substantial territorial gains. But after the campaigns of Edward I in 1277 and 1282–3 it became part of the principality under the control of the English crown and was eliminated as a political entity.
