Alias:<ALIA> Most Beautiful Woman in /Wales/
According to Brian Tompsett, UK genealogist
(http://www.dcs.hull.ac.uk/cgi-bin/gedlkup/n=royal?royal05170):
"Known as the most beautiful woman in Wales. She had many lovers. In
Chritmas 1108 Owain ap Adwgan of Cardigan came to visit Gerald and
Nesta. He so lusted after her that he, that night, 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."
