Name Suffix:<NSFX> Princess Of Deheubarth
Known as the most beautiful woman in Wales. She had many lovers. In Christmas 1180, Owain ap Cadwgan of Cardigan came to visit Gerald and Nesta. He so lusted after her that, later that night, he attacked the castle and carried her off and had his way with her. This upset Henry I so much that the incident started a war.
