=== Life Sketch ===
Tudwalls father, Rhodri the Great, by conquest and alleged inheritances, had become ruler of most of northern Wales. However, under Welsh law he was bound to divide his lands among his able-bodied children upon his death during a Mercian invasion around 878. Anarawd, the eldest,[1] retained the principal estate at Aberffraw and the throne of Gwynedd. His brothers Cadell and Merfyn received large estates as well, sometimes said to include the kingdoms of Ceredigion and Powys, respectively. For this, one of the Welsh Triads records the brothers as the "Three Diademed Princes of the Isle of Britain".[2] (Rhodri's fourth son, Tudwal the Lame, was apparently too young for the initial division.)
The brothers are recorded as cooperating closely against the rulers of the remaining lesser kingdoms of Wales. Æthelred of Mercia invaded Gwynedd around 881 and the annals hailed his defeat at Cymryd in the Battle of the Conwy as Dial Rhodri: "God's vengeance for Rhodri". Tudwal was old enough to participate in this battle, but his disfigurement on the field left him unfit for rule in Welsh eyes. (found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarawd_ap_Rhodri#cite_note-1)
Tudwall Gloff, or the lame, so called from the effect of a severe wound in the knee, which he received at he battle of Cymryd, a place within two miles of the town Conway. In the third year after the death of Rhodri, the Mercians, encouraged by the former success, again invaded North Wales, but being met at the place last mentioned by Anarawd, the young reigning prince, his brother Tudwal, and their forces, the Angles suffered a signal defeat. Prince Anarawd ordered this decisive victory to be chronicled under the appellation of "Gwaith dial Rhodri, " i.e. Revenge for the death of Rhodri. Tudwal for his general good conduct and bravery in this battle, was rewarded by the diademed princes, his brothers, with an additional grant of lands in Uchelgoed Gwynedd, and the lordship of Ceredigion, or that western tract lying between the rivers Dovey and Teivy.

Tudwal Gloff, or the lame, so called from the effect of a severe wound in the knee, which he received at the battle of Cymryd, a place within two miles of the town of Conway.

Tudwal espoused Helen, daughter of Aleth, who in genealogies is styled "branin Dyved" (Demetia). [History of Commoners IV:381]
