Narrative

[large-G675.FTW]

REF: "Yale Genealogy and History of Wales", 1908, Rodney Horace Yale p. 40: During King Stephen's reign of 17 years in England, he left Wales much to
itself and Owain materially added to the resources of his country & re-occupied several districts, which the Welsh had lost in former years. In the meantime however, he and Cadwaladr quarreld and the latter fled to England. Also during these years (C25) Rhys ap Gruffydd, a son of Gruffydd ap Rhun, who was son of Rhys ap Tewdwr, had won several comparatively important engagements and successes in the south.
