Richard De Clare was a leading member of the reforming party of baro
ns in England. King Henry III's personal style of government and his relia
nce on foreign advisers had antagonized many of the barons who regarded t
he royal policy as diminishing their own power and influence. Llywel
yn ap Gruffydd (d.1282), prince of Gwynedd, exploited this division and di
ssension amongst the English. On Richard's death in 1262, Llywelyn mov
ed up the Usk valley, capturing the Brecon lands of Humphrey De Bohun (gua
rdian of the young De Clare heir), and reaching the northern edge of Glamo
rgan. By 1267 Llywelyn had become master of the greater part of modern Wal
es, except for the southern coastal plain.
