When Madog died in 1160 there was a struggle for succession. In 1149
Madog had allowed his nephews, Owain and Meurig, to rule Cyfieliog as an
appendage to the kingdom according to the cus tom of those times - never
intending that the area should be separated from th e kingdom of Powys.
When
Madog's son, Gruffudd, succeeded his father, Owain was able to keep
Cyfieliog and some adjacent areas for himself, leaving only northern
Powys for Gruffudd. This split the kingdom into two resulting in Po wys'
loss of generally equal status with the kingdoms of Gwynedd and
Deheub arth.
