Not until 986 was peace restored when Meredudd ab Owain of Deheubarth (Hywel's grandson) invaded and defeated the rulers of Gwynedd, once more reuniting the two kingdoms.
Meredudd ruled Wales for 13 years (986-999), during which he was able to maintain his hold over both Gwynedd and Deheubarth, though the Brut records some tough times:
988: And Mredudd, son of Owain, paid to the black Pagans a tribute of a penny for each person. And a great mortality took place among the men through famine.
991: Edwin, son of Einon, with Eclis the Great, a Saxon prince from the seas of the South, devastated all the kingdoms of Meredudd, to wit, Dyfed, and Ceredigion, and Gower, and Cydweli; and a second time took hostages from all the territory; and devastated Menevia a third time. And Meredudd hired Pagans willing to join him, and devastated Glamorgan...
999: Menevia was depopulated by the Pagans. And bishop Morgeneu was killed by them. And Meredudd, the most celebrated king of the Britainsdied.
