Llywelyn ap Gruffydd (d. 1282), prince of Wales (1246–82). Known as Llywelyn ‘the Last’, his ambition to create a permanent, independent Welsh principality came close to realization. The grandson of
Llywelyn ab Iorwerth, he may have been designated the heir of his uncle
Dafydd ap Llywelyn. After Dafydd's death (1246) and the treaty of
Woodstock with Henry III (1247), Llywelyn was restricted to
Gwynedd west of the river Conwy. By 1255 Llywelyn had defeated his brothers and restored his uncle's dominion: he advanced east of the Conwy, exploiting divisions in England. Most Welsh lords regarded him as overlord (1258) and Llywelyn took the title of prince of Wales. At
Pipton (1265) Simon de
Montfort acknowledged his status and promised Llywelyn his daughter in marriage. At
Montgomery (1267) Henry III conceded recognition. Llywelyn misjudged Edward I in refusing to fulfil his obligations as the king's vassal. The war of 1276–7 was a disaster for Llywelyn, who was confined once more to west Gwynedd by the treaty of
Aberconwy (1277). The uneasy peace was shattered by his brother Dafydd's assault on Hawarden (1282) and, in the renewed struggle with Edward, Llywelyn was killed near Builth on 11 December.
