Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, (Llywelyn Fawr or Llywelyn the Great: 1173-1240)can justly be called the greatest of the medieval Welsh kings. By 1202,he had taken advantage of the quarrels of his uncles and had become rulerof the kingdom of Gwynedd. Further successes in Deheubarth, after thedeath of the Lord Rhys, and in Powys made him the most powerful of allthe Welsh rulers, though it was Gruffudd ap Llwyelyn who is remembered asthe only native monarch to rule over all of Wales.
