  Biography
  Trahaearn ap Caradog (1044 - 1081) was a King of Gwynedd. Trahaearn was a son of Caradog ap Gwyn, ruler of Arwystli (in the south of present-day Montgomeryshire, Wales), a small state, on the south-western border between Gwynedd and Powys. He was born in 1044 in Arwystli, and died in 1081 in Mynydd Carn in Pembrokeshire, at the Battle of Mynydd Carn.
  
  Accession to the throne of Gwynedd
  On the death of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn in 1073, it appears that none of his sons were old enough to claim the throne, and Bleddyn's cousin Trahaearn ap Caradog, seized power.
  
  The same year Gruffudd ap Cynan landed on Anglesey with an Irish force and, with the assistance of the Norman Robert of Rhuddlan, defeated Trahaearn at the Battle of Gwaed Erw in Meirionnydd, gaining control of Gwynedd. However tension between Gruffudd ap Cynan's Irish bodyguard and the local Welsh people led to a rebellion in Llyn and Trahaearn took the opportunity to counterattack, defeating Gruffudd at the Battle of Bron yr Erw at Clynnog Fawr in Caernarfonshire, also in 1073, forcing him to flee back to Ireland.
  
  In 1078 Caradog ap Gruffydd (Prince of the Kingdom of Gwent) killed Rhys ab Owain of Deheubarth, who had been responsible for the killing of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, in the Battle of Gwdig or Battle of Goodwick. Caradog ap Gruffydd wanted to take control of Deheubarth, like his father and grandfather had done. However Rhys ap Tewdwr, Rhys ab Owain's second cousin, meanwhile had become king of Deheubarth. Rhys ap Tewdwr was forced to flee when Caradog ap Gruffydd invaded Deheubarth in 1081. He sought protection in St David's Cathedral at the far southwestern corner of his kingdom.
  
  Downfall and death
  Gruffudd ap Cynan returned on a second campaign from Ireland with an army of Danes and Irish to become King of Gwynedd. He took his fleet to St David’s and made an alliance with Rhys ap Tewdwr who had recently been ousted as prince of Deheubarth by Caradog ap Gruffydd of Morgannwg. Gruffudd ap Cynan received additional support with backers that came from north Wales. They all agreed to remove Trahaearn ap Caradog from the throne Gwynedd. However, meanwhile Trahaearn had learned of their plot and secretly formed an alliance with Caradog ap Gruffydd and Meilyr ap Rhiwallon. Trahaearn also obtained Norman arbalesters for additional support for his army. The two enemy armies met at the fierce and bloody Battle of Mynydd Carn north of St David's. Trahaearn, Caradog and Meilyr were killed. Gruffudd was victorious and became King of Gwynedd. Rhys ap Tewdwr, Gruffudd's ally, once again became King of Deheubarth.
  
  Alleged Marriage
  Boyer notes that "It is alleged that he married Nest ferch Gruffudd ap Llywelyn, but there is no proof of this."
  
  1075 Seizure of Gwynedd
  Trahaearn was the rightful ruler of Arwystli, the region around Llanidloes, but in 1075, when Bleddyn ap Cynfyn died, he seized Gwynedd. Gruffudd ap Cynan of the old Venedotian house disputed his claim immediately, and defeated Trahaearn ap Caradox at Dyffryn Glyngin in Meirionydd. However, a subsequent victory by Trahaearn at Bron y Erw forced Gruffudd into exile in Ireland.
  
  1078 Killed King Rhys
  In 1078 Trahaearn killed King Rhys ab Owain of South Wales at Goodwick but this brought Gruffudd ap Cynan and Rhys ap Tewdwr Mawr into an alliance which was succedssful in killing Trahaearn at the battle of Mynydd Carn in 1081.
  
  1081 Death
  Trahaearn was killed in battle in 1081.
  
  Death: 1081
  Place: Carno, Montgomeryshire, Wales
  
  1081
  Rhys ap Tewdwr, king of Deheubarth, was forced to take refuge at St. David's. Rhys soon received an unexpected ally in Gruffydd ap Cynan, the deposed ruler of Gwynedd. Gruffydd had sought aid in Ireland and had returned to Wales at the head of a force of Welsh, Irish, and Danish troops, intent on regaining his lost throne. It was only natural for the two to strike an alliance, especially since Traehaearn ap Caradog, the reigning king of Gwynedd, was marching south to join forces with Caradog ap Gruffydd. The two sets of enemies met at Mynedd Carn, and Rhys and Gruffydd were completely victorious. The defeat effectively halted Caradog's (Caradog ap Gruffydd ap Rhydderch) climb to power. Rhys gained in prestige what Caradog lost, and by 1081 had emerged as the paramount ruler of the entire region of southwest Wales.

  Trahaearn ap Caradog (d. 1081) Welsh prince, was according to the heralds (Lewis Dwnn, i. 266; "History of Powys Fadog", i. 72), the son of Caradog ap Gwyn ap Collwyn. Originally lord of Arwystli (the region around Llanidoles), he became in 1075, on the death of his cousin Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, ruler of the greater part of North Wales. His claim was at once contested by Gruffydd ab Cynan, representing the old line of Gwynedd, who defeated Trahaearn at Gwaeterw in the region of Meirionydd, but was himself worsted at Bron yr Erw later in the year and forced to return to Ireland. In 1078 Trahaearn defeated at "Pwllgudic' Rhys ab Owain (d. 1078?) of south Wales, who was soon afterwards slain. His power brough about a coalition between Gruffydd ap Cynan and Rhys ap Tewdwr, who in 1081 led a joint expedition against him from St David's, and defeated him and his allies at Mynydd Carn (South Cardiganshire), in which Trahaearn fell. The battle is commemorated in a poem by Meilyr Byrdydd (in 'Myvyrian Archaiology,' 2nd edit., p 142). Robert of Rhuddlan's epitaphe attributed to him a victory over 'Trehelium.' Trahaearn left four sons: Meurig and Griffri, both slain in 1106; Llywarch (d. 1128?), lord of Arwystli and Owain, grandfather of Hywel ab Ieuaf, who ruled the district in Henry II's reign. [Dictionary of National Biography; George Smith, Fd., Sir Leslie Stephen and Sir Sidney Lee, Ed., 1953; Vol XIX, p 1074, Trahaearn ap Caradog]
  
  ____________________
  
  Trahaearn ap Caradog (d 1081), king of Gwynedd. He is said to have been the son of one Caradog ap Gwyn ap Collwyn and a cousin of Gleddyn ap Cynfyn. By natural right ruler of Arwystli, his career between 1075 and 1081 is one of the foremost illustration in Welsh history of how a bold and ambitious personality among the minor lords of Wales could usurp regal powers over an extensive area at moments when the fortunes of the major dynasties were at a low ebb. On Bleddyn's death in 1075, he seized authority in Gwynedd. Challenged by Gruffudd ap Cynan, the representative of the old Venedotian house, he was defeated at Dyffryn Glyngin in Meirionydd, but later in the year he retrieved himself at Bron yr Erw and drove Gruffudd inot second exile in Ireland. In 1078 he invaded South Wales and killed its king (Rhys ab Owain) at Goodwick. The general threat to old established interests eventually brought Gruffudd and Rhys ap Tewdwr into alliance, and together they imposed a crushing defeat on their opponent at the well-known battle of Mynydd Carn, fought in 1081, and in which Trahaearn met his end. He left four sons - Meurig, Griffri, Llywarch, and Owain, His descendants ruled in Arwystli until it was absorbed into Powys by Gwenwynwyn. A grand-daughter, Gwladus, m Owain Gwynedd; her son was Iorwerth Drwyndwn father of Llewelyn the Great. [Dictionary of Welsh Biography p976]

  Biography
  Trahaearn ap Caradog (1044 – 1081) was a King of Gwynedd. Trahaearn was a son of Caradog ap Gwyn, ruler of Arwystli (in the south of present-day Montgomeryshire, Wales), a small state, on the south-western border between Gwynedd and Powys. He was born in 1044 in Arwystli, and died in 1081 in Mynydd Carn in Pembrokeshire, at the Battle of Mynydd Carn.
  
  Accession to the throne of Gwynedd
  On the death of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn in 1073, it appears that none of his sons were old enough to claim the throne, and Bleddyn's cousin Trahaearn ap Caradog, seized power.
  
  The same year Gruffudd ap Cynan landed on Anglesey with an Irish force and, with the assistance of the Norman Robert of Rhuddlan, defeated Trahaearn at the Battle of Gwaed Erw in Meirionnydd, gaining control of Gwynedd. However tension between Gruffudd ap Cynan's Irish bodyguard and the local Welsh people led to a rebellion in Llyn and Trahaearn took the opportunity to counterattack, defeating Gruffudd at the Battle of Bron yr Erw at Clynnog Fawr in Caernarfonshire, also in 1073, forcing him to flee back to Ireland.
  
  In 1078 Caradog ap Gruffydd (Prince of the Kingdom of Gwent) killed Rhys ab Owain of Deheubarth, who had been responsible for the killing of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, in the Battle of Gwdig or Battle of Goodwick. Caradog ap Gruffydd wanted to take control of Deheubarth, like his father and grandfather had done. However Rhys ap Tewdwr, Rhys ab Owain's second cousin, meanwhile had become king of Deheubarth. Rhys ap Tewdwr was forced to flee when Caradog ap Gruffydd invaded Deheubarth in 1081. He sought protection in St David's Cathedral at the far southwestern corner of his kingdom.
  
  Downfall and death
  Gruffudd ap Cynan returned on a second campaign from Ireland with an army of Danes and Irish to become King of Gwynedd. He took his fleet to St David’s and made an alliance with Rhys ap Tewdwr who had recently been ousted as prince of Deheubarth by Caradog ap Gruffydd of Morgannwg. Gruffudd ap Cynan received additional support with backers that came from north Wales. They all agreed to remove Trahaearn ap Caradog from the throne Gwynedd. However, meanwhile Trahaearn had learned of their plot and secretly formed an alliance with Caradog ap Gruffydd and Meilyr ap Rhiwallon. Trahaearn also obtained Norman arbalesters for additional support for his army. The two enemy armies met at the fierce and bloody Battle of Mynydd Carn north of St David's. Trahaearn, Caradog and Meilyr were killed. Gruffudd was victorious and became King of Gwynedd. Rhys ap Tewdwr, Gruffudd's ally, once again became King of Deheubarth.
  
  Alleged Marriage
  Boyer notes that "It is alleged that he married Nest ferch Gruffudd ap Llywelyn, but there is no proof of this."
  
  1075 Seizure of Gwynedd
  Trahaearn was the rightful ruler of Arwystli, the region around Llanidloes, but in 1075, when Bleddyn ap Cynfyn died, he seized Gwynedd. Gruffudd ap Cynan of the old Venedotian house disputed his claim immediately, and defeated Trahaearn ap Caradox at Dyffryn Glyngin in Meirionydd. However, a subsequent victory by Trahaearn at Bron y Erw forced Gruffudd into exile in Ireland.
  
  1078 Killed King Rhys
  In 1078 Trahaearn killed King Rhys ab Owain of South Wales at Goodwick but this brought Gruffudd ap Cynan and Rhys ap Tewdwr Mawr into an alliance which was succedssful in killing Trahaearn at the battle of Mynydd Carn in 1081.
  
  1081 Death
  Trahaearn was killed in battle in 1081.
  
  Death: 1081
  Place: Carno, Montgomeryshire, Wales
  
  1081
  Rhys ap Tewdwr, king of Deheubarth, was forced to take refuge at St. David's. Rhys soon received an unexpected ally in Gruffydd ap Cynan, the deposed ruler of Gwynedd. Gruffydd had sought aid in Ireland and had returned to Wales at the head of a force of Welsh, Irish, and Danish troops, intent on regaining his lost throne. It was only natural for the two to strike an alliance, especially since Traehaearn ap Caradog, the reigning king of Gwynedd, was marching south to join forces with Caradog ap Gruffydd. The two sets of enemies met at Mynedd Carn, and Rhys and Gruffydd were completely victorious. The defeat effectively halted Caradog's (Caradog ap Gruffydd ap Rhydderch) climb to power. Rhys gained in prestige what Caradog lost, and by 1081 had emerged as the paramount ruler of the entire region of southwest Wales.

  Trahaearn ap Caradog (d. 1081) Welsh prince, was according to the heralds (Lewis Dwnn, i. 266; "History of Powys Fadog", i. 72), the son of Caradog ap Gwyn ap Collwyn. Originally lord of Arwystli (the region around Llanidoles), he became in 1075, on the death of his cousin Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, ruler of the greater part of North Wales. His claim was at once contested by Gruffydd ab Cynan, representing the old line of Gwynedd, who defeated Trahaearn at Gwaeterw in the region of Meirionydd, but was himself worsted at Bron yr Erw later in the year and forced to return to Ireland. In 1078 Trahaearn defeated at "Pwllgudic' Rhys ab Owain (d. 1078?) of south Wales, who was soon afterwards slain. His power brough about a coalition between Gruffydd ap Cynan and Rhys ap Tewdwr, who in 1081 led a joint expedition against him from St David's, and defeated him and his allies at Mynydd Carn (South Cardiganshire), in which Trahaearn fell. The battle is commemorated in a poem by Meilyr Byrdydd (in 'Myvyrian Archaiology,' 2nd edit., p 142). Robert of Rhuddlan's epitaphe attributed to him a victory over 'Trehelium.' Trahaearn left four sons: Meurig and Griffri, both slain in 1106; Llywarch (d. 1128?), lord of Arwystli and Owain, grandfather of Hywel ab Ieuaf, who ruled the district in Henry II's reign. [Dictionary of National Biography; George Smith, Fd., Sir Leslie Stephen and Sir Sidney Lee, Ed., 1953; Vol XIX, p 1074, Trahaearn ap Caradog]
  
  ____________________
  
  Trahaearn ap Caradog (d 1081), king of Gwynedd. He is said to have been the son of one Caradog ap Gwyn ap Collwyn and a cousin of Gleddyn ap Cynfyn. By natural right ruler of Arwystli, his career between 1075 and 1081 is one of the foremost illustration in Welsh history of how a bold and ambitious personality among the minor lords of Wales could usurp regal powers over an extensive area at moments when the fortunes of the major dynasties were at a low ebb. On Bleddyn's death in 1075, he seized authority in Gwynedd. Challenged by Gruffudd ap Cynan, the representative of the old Venedotian house, he was defeated at Dyffryn Glyngin in Meirionydd, but later in the year he retrieved himself at Bron yr Erw and drove Gruffudd inot second exile in Ireland. In 1078 he invaded South Wales and killed its king (Rhys ab Owain) at Goodwick. The general threat to old established interests eventually brought Gruffudd and Rhys ap Tewdwr into alliance, and together they imposed a crushing defeat on their opponent at the well-known battle of Mynydd Carn, fought in 1081, and in which Trahaearn met his end. He left four sons - Meurig, Griffri, Llywarch, and Owain, His descendants ruled in Arwystli until it was absorbed into Powys by Gwenwynwyn. A grand-daughter, Gwladus, m Owain Gwynedd; her son was Iorwerth Drwyndwn father of Llewelyn the Great. [Dictionary of Welsh Biography p976]
