=== Life Sketch ===
He became known as Owain Gwynedd (Middle Welsh: Owain Gwyned, "Owain of Gwynedd") to distinguish him from the contemporary king of southern Powys, Owain ap Gruffydd ap Maredudd, who became known as "Owain Cyfeiliog".
Per Wikipedia.org
Owain ap Gruffudd (c. 1100 – 23 or 28 November 1170) was King of Gwynedd, north Wales, from 1137 until his death in 1170. Considered to be the most successful of all the North Welsh princes.
Known as Owain Gwynedd (Middle Welsh: Owain Gwyned, "Owain of Gwynedd") to distinguish him from the contemporary king of southern Powys, Owain ap Gruffydd ap Maredudd, who became known as "Owain Cyfeiliog".[3] He was also put under pressure by the Archbishop and the Pope to put aside his second wife, Cristin, who was his first cousin, this relationship making the marriage invalid under church law. Owain died in 1169, and despite having been excommunicated was buried in Bangor Cathedral by the local clergy. Had a number of illegitimate sons, who by Welsh law had an equal claim on the inheritance if acknowledged by their father. The following children from two wives and at least four mistresses:
1. Rhun ab Owain Gwynedd (illegitimate in Catholic custom, but legitimate successor in Welsh law)
2. Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd (illegitimate in Catholic custom, but legitimate successor in Welsh law)

Owain was married twice, his first wife Gwladys ferch Llywarch ap Trahaearn, was the mother of two of his sons, Maelgwn ab Owain Gwynedd and Iorwerth Drwyndwn, the father of Llywelyn the Great, by Christina, his second wife he had three sons including Dafydd ab Owain Gwynedd and Rhodri ab Owain Gwynedd. He also had a number of illegitimate sons, who by Welsh law had an equal claim on the inheritance if acknowledged by their father.

=== King of Gwynedd 1137-69 Lord of Tegeingl ===
King of Gwynedd 1137-69 Lord of Tegeingl \ Prince of Gwynedd Davies 1987; Walker 1990 The death of Henry I in 1135 was the signal for more vigorous and more hostile policies by the Welsh, though firm action by Stephen (the king who succeeded Henry) and the marcher lords held the promise of successful defence. Henry II succeeded Stephen in December 1154, determined to restore authority to the kingdom and to repair the damage caused by civil strife and the lack of a strong central administration. By 1157 he was ready to turn his attention to Wales. Two princes carried Wales through these difficult years, Owain Gwynedd in the north and Rhys ap Gruffydd in south Wales. Both were aware of the complex problems to be faced: to deal with rival Welsh dynasties, to deal with marcher lords, and to live in the shadow of a rich and powerful neighbor. Owain gauged the political realities of the day quickly and, however often he had to yield, he did not lose the initiative. Owain Gwynedd, Prince of Gwynedd 1137-70, was born circa 1109. In 1137 he succeeded his father Gruffydd ap Cynan (1081-1137) to the kingdom of Gwynedd, which covered most of north Wales. While England was engaged in civil war, Owain used his skill as statesman and soldier to extend his frontiers. In 1157 Henry II led his first campaign against Owain, but it ended in a truce. He was required to do homage to Henry but it was not long before Owain was acting with complete independence. When Madog ap Maredudd died in 1160, he attacked Powys and extended his influence to the east. Six years later, the Council of Woodstock attempted to reduce the Welsh princes from client status to that of dependent vassalage, and the subsequent uprising was led by Owain and Rhys ap Gruffydd of south Wales. Henry's second attempt at subduing Wales failed ignominiously and left Owain free to capture Basingwerk and Rhuddlan castles (1166-67). In 1168 he set foot on negotiations with Louis VII of France to build an alliance between Gwyn edd and France against their common enemy. It was a course which required great finesse and firm judgement. In one direction it pointed to a policy which would be used to good effect by later rulers of Gwynedd, the search for recognition and an alliance in Europe. Having openly defied Henry in 1168 by offering to help Louis, Owain maintained his independent position until his death. He left behind him a reputation of wisdom and magnanimity. The reign of Owain Gwynedd marks the most peaceful period of Welsh independence, when the native princes absorbed many of the current European reforming ideas and adapted the more effective structures of both church and state to their own society. Monastic foundations were encouraged, diocesan boundaries defined, and many stone churches built. Motte-and-bailey earthwork castles identical to those built earlier by the Norman invaders were now erected by the princes as the centers of many of their personal estates. Two of Owain's sons are credited with building the first stone castles in Gwynedd towards the end of the 12th century. The tragedy, recurrent in Welsh history, was that Owain was not followed immediately by a strong ruler. Upon his death in 1170, open warfare broke out between his sons: Dafydd and Rhodri killed their elder half-brother, Hywel, and for the next 20 years Gwynedd was divided between them and their kinsmen. Gwynedd and Wales would not see another strong leader until Llywelyn the Great extended his control over most of Wales in the later part of the century. Upon Owain's death his lands were divided between his sons, of whom Maelgwyn inherited Anglesey. Civil War broke out from 1170-74, from which emerged two victors who eventually divided the kingdom between them. Another son, Cynan, succeeded in retaining his land at Merioneth and briefly re-establishing a ruling dynasty there.

In 1136, Owain and his brothers wrested control of Ceridigion from RICHARD DE CLARE (RIN 1079). In 1137, upon the death of his father, he became king of Gwynedd. The years of the Reign of King Stephen in England (1135-1154) were sometimes referred to as "the anarchy". Owain took advantage of these years to greatly expand the kingdom of Gwynedd until it reached almost to the town of Chester. The very capable King HENRY II (RIN 761) ascended the English throne in 1154. This ended the anarchy and HENRY directed many of his vast resources towards subjugating Wales. In 1156, the ruler of Powys, MADOG AP MAREDUDD (RIN 2589), found it necessary to yield to HENRY and in 1157 assisted him in his capmaigns against Owain. This was partly due to the fact that Owain had territorial ambitions in parts of Powys. After the campaign of 1157 Owain also yielded to HENRY, acknowledging him as his soverign. In 1165 Owain succeeded in forming an alliance with the others Welsh rulers, RHYS AP GRUFFUDD (RIN 1881) of Dheubarth and the rulers of Powys. HENRY was, for several years beginning in 1163, hampered greatly in everything he did due to his conflict with Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury. This, along with a victory over HENRY's troops in 1165 in the Berwyn Mountains, allowed the Welsh to regain much of the territory they had lost to the Normans. In 1168 Owain even offered to assist King LOUIS VII (RIN 1530) against Henry - an indication that he aspired to total soverignty for his people. Unfortunately, when Owain died in 1170, a struggle for succession followed. Paul Reed summarized 0wains family as follows: . The sons and grandsons of Owain Gwynedd. . .

Gwynedd and Wales would not see another strong leader until Llywelyn the Great extended his control over most of Wales in the later part of the century.'' The Forgotten Monarchy of Scotland... 431
=== Second son of Gruffydd ap Cynan (d. 113 ===
Second son of Gruffydd ap Cynan (d. 1137), king of Gwynedd, Owain helped his fater extend Gwynedd's power. As king (1137), he consolidated his hold on Church and State in Nort Wales and exploited Enlish dissensions to advant into Ceredigion; he even had authority later as far east as the Dee (1165). His only major reverse was at Henry II's hands (1157), after which Owain acknowledged English overlordship over Gwynedd. Ambitious, far-sighted yet prudent, Owain was much lauded by contemporary poets as the pre-eminent ruler of Wales. After his death (and burial in Bangor Cathedral), his sons quarrelled over the inheritance; David (d. 1203) had dominion in Gwynedd in the 1170s and married Henry II's half-sister. ("The Oxford Illustrated History of the British Monarchy", Cannon, John and Ralph Griffiths, Oxford Univ Press: 1988, p 142)
=== Owain Gwynedd or Owain ap Gruffydd (d 11 ===
Owain Gwynedd or Owain ap Gruffydd (d 1169), king of Gwynedd, or North Wales, was the eldest son of Gruffydd ap Cynan, king of Gwynedd, and his wife Angharad (d 1162), daughter of Owain ap Edwin. In 1121 he was sent by his father with a large array against Meiricnydd. HIs brother Cadwaladr accompanied him on this expedition. They succeeded in tranplanting many of the men of Meirionydd with their property in Lleyn. In 1136 a similar predatory expedition against Ceredigion was also conducted by the two brothers, in the course of which Aberystwith Castle was burnt. At the end of the year the brothers led a second invasion of Ceredigion, and won a victory over 'the French and Flemings' at Aberteivi (Cardigan), whereupon they returned with great spoil and many prisoners to Gwynedd. In 1137 the death of Gruffydd ap Cynan gave Owain the succession to the throne of North Wales. He immediately led a third expedition to Ceredigion and, marching through the land until he reached the shors of the Bristol Channel, burnt Ystradmeurig, Llanstephen, and even Carmarthen itself. But he soon sought to make peace with his South Welsh rivals, and promised to give his daughter in marriage to his nephew Anarawd, son of Gruffyd ap Rhys (d 1127), the late prince of South Wales. But Cadwaladr, who had for his portion the former conquests made by him and Owain in Ceredigion, resented this alliance, kiled Anarawd in 1148, and carried off his niece. Owain now sent his son Howel to take possession of Cadwaladr's lands. In 1114 Caswaladr, who had fled to Ireland, appeared off the Menai Straits with a fleet of Irish Danes. But Owain prudently reconeiled himself with Cadwaladr, whereupoon the pirates blinded their treacherous ally. Owain fell upon the Danes, and drove them back to Dublin. But in 1145 Owain's sons were again attacking Cadwaladr, until he was forced to take refuge with the English.
The confusion which prevailed in England under the reign of Stephen gave Owain Gwynedd an unequalled opportunity for the extension and consolidation of his power. Despite his constant struggles with his kinsmen, Owain seldom lost sight of this object and teh prowess of his sons, Howel and Cynan ably seconded his efforts. In 1147 Owain lost his favourite son Rhun; but the 'insufferable sorrow' into which this calamity threw him was soon 'turned to sudden joy' by the news of the capture of Gwyddgrug (Mold). 'And when Owain our prince heard of this, he became relieved of all pain and from every sorrowing thought, and recovered his accustomed energy.' In 1148 Owain built a castle in Yale, very near the English border. Bouth Fandulf, earl of Chester, and Madog ap Maredudd, prince of Powys, resented this, and in 1149 Madog joined with the earl to attack Owain, but was signally defeated at Counsillt. But Owain's power was still diminished by family feuds. In 1149 he was forced to imprison his son Cynan. In 1151 he drove his brother Cadwaladr from his refuge in Anglesea, and blinded and mutilated his brother Cadwallon, and his nephew, Cadwallon's son, Cunedda. Such vigorous and bloodthirsty measures secured his nold more firmly over Gwynedd. In 1155 he was able to lead an expedition against Ceredigion.
Henry II had now succeeded to the English throne, and put down the anarchy of the last reign. Cadwaladr and Madog urged him on to resist the successful aggressions of Owain Gwynedd, and in July 1157 there took place Henry's first expedition against North Wales. While the English army encamped on the frontier of Cheshire, Owain and his sons took pu their positon at Basingwerk, which they fortified with entrenchments. The darkwood of Cennadlog separated the two armies. Henry sent part of his army by the coast, while the rest threaded the dense forest. But the sons of Owain attacked the English amidst the wood with such success that Henry of Essex, the constable, dropped the king's standard and fled in despair. The king, however, rallied his troops, and successfully pushed through the wood; whereupoon Owain fled from Basingwerk to a place called Cil Owain, while Henry II occpied Rhuddlan, and sent the fleet to land the second army in Anglesea. The English suffered severely, but Owain was in great danger of being crushed between the fleet and the army. Neither party was in a condition to push matters to extemities, so that peace was easily patched up. Owain performed homage to Henry as his liege lord, surrendered hostages as a pledge of his future loyalty, and restored Cadwaladr, Henry's ally, to his former territory. The English boasted that the Welsh were subdued to the English king's will, bur Henry's expedition was no very brilliant success, and Owain's power was as strong as ever, as soon as the English host had recrossed the Dee.
In 1159 Owain's son Morgan was slain by craft; but the next few years were a period of comparative peace, as his nephew Rhys ab Gruffydd, commonly called the Lord Rhys, prince of South Wales, now attracted most of the English atention through his vigorous resistance to the marchers in South Wales. Owain himself seems to have been on the side of the French against his South Welsh rival, and his brother Cadwaladr and his sons Howel and Cynan actually fought with the Earls of Chester and Clare against the Lord Rhys, while Owain haded over a Welsh prisoner to the marchers. In 1162 Owain was engaged in war with Howel ap Iemacv, lord of Arwystili, who got possession of the castle of Talawern in Cyveiliog through treachery. But Owain invaded Arwystli, and his 'insupportable sorrow' for the loss of the castle was changed to 'sudden joy' when his army almost annihilated the forces of his rival and went home with a vast booty. In 1163 he had the satisfaction of seeing Henry direct his second Welsh expedition against Rhys and the South Welsh; but the complete triumph of the invading army seems to have thightened the bonds that bound Owain to his overlord. It was through Owain's intervention that his nephew Rhys was induced to make his submission to Henry II at Pencader. In the summer of 1164 Owain appeared at the council of Woodstock along with his nephew Rhys and some of his chief nobles, where, on 1 July, they all renewed their homage to Henry.
The restless chieftain did not, however, long keep the peace. In 1165 Both Owain and his nephew Rhys of South Wales had renewed their plundering inroads. In this year Owain's on Davydd devasted Englefield, the district between the Clwyd and Chester, and removed the inhabitants into the vale of Clwyd. This action seems to have brought Henry II again to Wales, but he advanced no further than Rhuddlan, where he remained three days (probably in May 1165). In July, hover, the king led a more formidable expedition against South Wales, where Rhys, like Owain, had been devastating the English border. For the first time the rival Welsh chieftains joined together in resisting the English invaders. Owain marched with Cadwaladr at the head of the men of Gwynedd to join Rhys. Even the men of Powys, now led by Owain Cyveiliog, joined in the national resistance. The united host of the three Welsh districts encamped at Corwen to oppose Henry. The king marched through the vale of Ceiriog, where he lost many men in the woods, and at last got entangled amidst the Berwyn mountains. Rain and tempest completed the discomfiture of the English, and, provisions falling short, Henry was forced to return without having encounted the enemy. In his rage Henry ordered the hostages that were still in his hands to be blinded. Among them were Cadwallon and Cynvrig, two of Owain's sons. Another son, named Llywelyn, died during the same year.
The English king's decided repulse gave Owain a stronger position than ever, especially as Henry II now absented himself from England for the next six years, and nothing was done by the central power to check the aggressions of the Welsh chieftains, or their constan wars with the marchers. Owain had waged war against Welsh prince and Norman marcher alike. His destruction of Basingwerk in 1166 was a menace to the Earl of Chester. In alliance with Owain Cyveiliog he drove out Iorwert Goch from Mochnant, upon which the two Owains divided the land between them. But in 1167 the allies quarrelled, and Owain Gwynedd formed a fresh combination with Rhys of South Wales against the lord of Powys. Some sharp fighting ensued. Caereineon was wrested from Owain Cyveiliog and handed over to a vassal prince Owain Vychan. Talawern was conquered and appropriated by the lord Rhys. But Owain Cyveiliog called in the help of the Norman marchers, destroyed Castell Caereineon, which the two Owains had previously erected, and killed all the garrison. The two Owains and Rhys, however, still kept their forces together, and atoned for their check in Caereineon by a destructive inroad against the English castles of Englefield. They burnt the strongholds of Rhuddlan and Prestatyn, and then 'every one returned happy and victorious to his own country. This was almost the last of Owain's warlike exploits.
Owain's declining years were embittered by a long and complicated struggle with the church. He naturally wished to keep his own bishopric of Bangor free from the intrusion of the Norman nominees of the English king, but the struggle for ecclesiastical independence was complicated by the irregular and uncanonical life of the native champion. Owain was, however, a pious man after his fashion; and Giraldus Cambrensis quotes some of his quaint sayings in the matter. Early in his reign Owain had a sharp contest with Maurice or Merig, who was consecrated bishop of Bangor in 1139 in succession to David (d 1139?). Though Maurice had some hesitation in professing canonical obedience to canterbury, and though he was duly elected by 'clergy and people' of Gwynedd, Owain wrote indignantly to Bishop Bernard, the Norman bishop of St David's complaining that Maurice had 'entered the church of St Daniel not at the door, but like a thief,

PAF - RIN: 23087.
Owain ap Gruffudd (c. 1100 – 23 or 28 November 1170) was King of Gwynedd, north Wales, from 1137 until his death in 1170. Considered to be the most successful of all the North Welsh princes. Known as Owain Gwynedd (Middle Welsh: Owain Gwyned, "Owain of Gwynedd") to distinguish him from the contemporary king of southern Powys, Owain ap Gruffydd ap Maredudd, who became known as "Owain Cyfeiliog".[3] He was also put under pressure by the Archbishop and the Pope to put aside his second wife, Cristin, who was his first cousin, this relationship making the marriage invalid under church law. Owain died in 1169, and despite having been excommunicated was buried in Bangor Cathedral by the local clergy. Had a number of illegitimate sons, who by Welsh law had an equal claim on the inheritance if acknowledged by their father. The following children from two wives and at least four mistresses:
Rhun ab Owain Gwynedd (illegitimate in Catholic custom, but legitimate successor in Welsh law)
Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd (illegitimate in Catholic custom, but legitimate successor in Welsh law)
Iorwerth ab Owain Gwynedd (the "flat nose", also called Edward in some sources, from first wife Gwladys (Gladys) ferch Llywarch)

=== Owain Cyveiliog or Owain ab Gruffydd (d ===
Owain Cyveiliog or Owain ab Gruffydd (d 1197), prince of Powys, was the son of Gruffydd ap Maredudd, brother of Madog ap Maredudd, prince of Powys. He was, it is said, the offspring of an irregular union of his father with Gwervyl, daughter of Urgan ab Howel. In 1159 Owain and his brother Meurig received from their uncle Madog, then ruling over Powys, the district of Cyveiliog, a region including most of the middle valley of the Dovey, and corresponding to the western portions of the modern Montgomeryshire. Owain remained so closely connected with Cyveiliog that he derived from it his ordinary descriptive name, which effectmaclly distinguished him from his rival, Owain ab Gruffydd, called Owain Gwynedd. Madog died in 1160, and his son Llywelyn being slain immediately afterwards, Owain succeeded to the lordship of all Powys. In the first years of his reign Owain continued his uncle's general policy of alliance with the English against his dangerous neighbour and rival Owain Gwynedd. But the gowing pressure of the Norman marchers, backed up by Henry I, seems to have caused Owain to alter his policy; and in 1165 he joined Owain Gwynedd and the Lord Rhys of South Wales in their resistance to Henry II's invasion during that summer. Most of the fighting took place in Powys, and Henry II withdrew, beaten by the elements and want of food as much as by the enemy, and never ventured on another Welsh campaign. The alliance between the two Owains was continued for some time. In 1166 they drove out their former ally, Iorwerth Goch, from his territory in Mochnant, and divided that district between them. But in 1167 the allies quarrelled, and Owain Gwynedd joined with Rhys of South Wales against Owain Cyveiliog, though the prince of Powys ahd married Rhys' daughter. Their joint forces invaded Powys, took possession of Caereineon and Talawern, and put Owain to flight. The lord of Powys now fell back on his old friends the marchers. He soon reappeared in company with a 'French' army, won back the lands he had lost, and destroyed the new castle which his foes had built in Caereineon. War continued between Owain Cyveiliog and Rhys. In 1171 Rhys again invaded Powys, and forced Owain to surrender seven hostages for his good behavior. But a quieter time now followed in Wales. Davydd, prince of Gwynedd, Owain Gwynedd's son and successor, was Henry II's son-in-law. The Lord Rhys had become the king's 'justice in South Wales.' Henry found it wisest to leave the Welsh princes pretty much to themselves, and they on their part found it prudent to recognise his supremacy. Power in Wales was, moreover, so divided that no single Welsh prince had much chance of winning great triumphs over his neighbours. Owain accordingly continued in his dependence on Henry II. Constant intercourse between Owain and his overlord led to a good deal of personal friendliness between them; and Giraldus Cambrensis tells a story how, when dining with the king at Shrewsbury, Owain found means of covertly rebuking his overloard for his habit of keeping benefices long vacant in order to enjoy the custody of their temporalities. In May 1177 he attended the great council at Oxford, at which Henry made his son John lord of Ireland. All the other Welsh chieftains were there, and all of them took oaths of fealty to Henry as their overlord. As Owain grew older his sons Gwenwynwyn and Cadwallon took his place in the plundering forays and other wild enterprises of a Welsh chieftain. The Welsh chronicles make these youths responsible for the treacherous murder of their cousin, Owain ab Madog, in 1186; but Giraldus Cambrensis makes their father directly responsible for this crime. In 1188 Owain alone of the princes of Wales did not go out with his people to meet Archbishop Baldwin when that prelate, in the course of his crusading tour, approached his dominions. For this negligence he was excommunicated. Owain busied his declining years with the foundation of the Cistercian monastery of Strata Marcella (Ystrad Marchell). There he ultimately took the monastic habit, and there he died in 1197 at a good old age. Gwenwynwyn, who succeeded to his father's dominions, completed the endowment of Owain's foundation of Strata Marcella.
There is another story, that Strata Marcella was founded by Madog ap Gruffydd Maelor in about 1200. But this seems to be a confusion between Strata Marcella and Valla Crucis in Yale. The 'charter of foundation' printed in Dugdales 'Monasticon' seems really to refer to the latter rather than the former foundation.
Giraldus Cambransis includes Owain Cyvailiog with Owain Gwynedd and Maredudd ab Gruffydd ab Rhys of South Wales as the three Welshmen who in his days were conspicuous for their justice, prudence, and moderation as rullers. HIs lavish hospitality - 'There was drinking without regret, without refusal, and without any kind of want' - is celebrated by Dynddelw. Owain Cyveiliog was also specially distinguished for the rediness of his tongue. He was also a poet of some merit, his best-known production being some verses on Y Gylchan Cymru (the circuit through Wales), and a longer song on the Hirlas horn. There are printed in the 'Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales,' pp 190-2. There are also printed in the same collection two poems of Cynddalw celebrating the praises of Owain. [Dictionary of National Biography XIV:1289-90]
__________________________
Owain Cyfeiliog (c 1130-97), prince and poet, son of Gruffudd, brother of Madog ap Maredudd, prince of Powys. In 1149 Madog appointed him under-lord of Cyfeiliog. About 1153 Rhys ap Gruffydd attacked this commote, and although Owain was later to marry his daughter, they remained enemies for years. After the death of Madog in 1160, Owain held Cyfeiliog on his own account, and in 1163 he joined, with Owain Fychan, to capture and destroy the royal castle of Carreghofa. In 1165 he is found with other princes of Powys and the other Welsh provinces in the great muster under Owain Gwynedd facing Henry II's attack in the Berwyn district. The next year, however, he again joined with Owain Fychan to drive Owain Goch from Mochnant, which they divided between them by a line which still remains as the border of Denbighshire and Montgomeryshire. In 1167 he reverted to Madog ap Maredudd's policy of friendship with England, and remained fairly constant to it for the remainder of his life. In 1167 he was attacked by Owain Gwynedd and Rhys ap Gruffydd of South Wales who seized the commote of Caereinion and gave it to Owain Fychan, but Owain Cyfeiliog soon regained it with English aid.
In 1170 he established the Cistercian monastery of Strada Marcella. He again supported the English in 1173, and was present at the Council of Oxford in 1177. He was the only Welsh prince who refused to support the efforts of archbishop Baldwin and Giraldus Cambrensis in 1188 to preach the Crusade, for that he handed over the reins of government to his son, Gwenwynwyn, in 1195, and retired to the monastery of Strata Marcella, where he d. in 1197, and where he lies buried. His first wife was Gwenllian, daughter of Owain Gwynedd (mother of Gwenwynwyn), and his second wife was a daughter of Rhys ap Gruffydd.
In the early years of his reign he excelled as a warrior, and it is as such that Cynddelw sings his praises, but at a later date, Gerald is to speak of him as one of the three princes in Wales who were conspicuouc 'for the justice, wisdom, and moderation of their rule.' The latter also mentions his eloquent tongue and his sagacity. Yet his fame as a fighter remained, even among the Normans, as can be seen from the "Legende de Fulk Fitz Warin.' It is this aspect of his career that the prince himself reveals in his 'Drinking-horn of Owain' - a poem patterned on the 'Gododdin,' in which a number of fellow-soldiers are each addressed in turn as the horn goes round. It is the best portrayal which we have of the campaigning life of a Welsh prince, with the close comradeship existing between him and his chosen war-band, and the thrill of their life of high adventure. There is also extant a series of englynion sung by the war-band of Owain to their 'circuit' of Wales. The circuit, however, is of North Wales only. [Dictionary of Welsh Biography p691]
=== Second son of Gruffydd ap Cynan (d. 1137 ===
Second son of Gruffydd ap Cynan (d. 1137), king of Gwynedd, Owain helpedhis fater extend Gwynedd's power. As king (1137), he consolidated hishold on Church and State in Nort Wales and exploited Enlish dissensionsto advant into Ceredigion; he even had authority later as far east as theDee (1165). His only major reverse was at Henry II's hands (1157), afterwhich Owain acknowledged English overlordship over Gwynedd. Ambitious,far-sighted yet prudent, Owain was much lauded by contemporary poets asthe pre-eminent ruler of Wales. After his death (and burial in BangorCathedral), his sons quarrelled over the inheritance; David (d. 1203) haddominion in Gwynedd in the 1170s and married Henry II's half-sister.

Sir Ieuan, the eldest son,was, like his father, a soldier in theFrench Wars. It is stated by some authorities that he died in 1370,but it appears by other records that he survived until some yearslater, probably until 1379. He lies buried in the ancient Church ofLlan Uwch Llyn, near Bala, where his tomb still exists. His figure,cut in stone and clad in full armor, rests upon his tomb, and supportsa shield, upon which is emblazoned the three wolves' heads, thearmorial insignia of his house. He married first Gwenllian, daughter and heiress of the Lord ofEvionydd and Ardudwy, head of one of the Noble Tribes of Wales. Uponher death he married Annesta, daughter of the Lord of Tref Gynon. He is stated, in a manuscript, in the handwriting of Robert Vaughan,Of Hengwrt, to have "lived in great credit and esteeme in the days ofKing Edward III, who allowed him a annual stipend for guarding &conducting of ye Justice of North Wales with a companie of archerswhilst he should sojourne & stay in ye countie of Merionethshire".

King of Gwynedd (1137-70) Owain took advantage of the general anarchy following the death of Henry I to gradually extend his control over the territories of northern Wales. It was as much his qualities as a politician as it was that of an expansionist that made him one of Wales's greatest rulers. At the time of his death in 1170 Owain was master of all of North Wales, the premier prince of Wales, and was held in high regard throughout Europe.

Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llywelyn_the_Great;
Note: Gives a history on this person and wales history... Llywelyn the Great (Welsh: Llywelyn Fawr, [ɬəˈwɛlɪn vaʊ̯r]), full name Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, (c. 1173 – 11 April 1240) was a King of Gwynedd in north Wales... He was sole ruler of Gwynedd by 1200 and made a treaty with King John of England that year. Llywelyn's relations with John remained good for the next ten years. He married John's natural daughter Joan in 1205... Llywelyn was born about 1173, the son of Iorwerth ab Owain and the grandson of Owain Gwynedd... He was probably born at Dolwyddelan, though not in the present Dolwyddelan Castle... Joan died in 1237 and Llywelyn appears to have suffered a paralytic stroke the same year... Llywelyn died at the Cistercian abbey of Aberconwy, which he had founded, and was buried there... Children by Joan:
Dafydd ap Llywelyn (c. 1212–1246)
Elen (Helen) ferch Llywelyn (c. 1206–1253) married John Earl of Huntington, and secondly Robert de Quincy.
Susanna ferch Llywelyn (died after November 1228)
Marared ferch Llywelyn (died after 1268), married John de Braose in 1219[68], and secondly (c. 1232) Walter III de Clifford; she had issue by both husbands.[69]
Elen the Younger ferch Llywelyn (born before 1230; died after 16 February 1295), married firstly Máel Coluim II, Earl of Fife (son of Duncan Macduff of Fife and wife Alice Corbet), and secondly (after 1266) Domhnall I, Earl of Mar (son of William, Earl of Mar and first wife Elizabeth Comyn of Buchan)...
Children by Tangwystl Goch (died c. 1198):
Gruffydd ap Llywelyn (c. 1196–1244) He was Llywelyn's eldest son. He married Senena, daughter of Caradoc ap Thomas of Anglesey.
Children whose parentage is uncertain:
Gwladus Ddu (c. 1206–1251), probable daughter by Joan. She married Sir Randulph Mortimer[68]
Angharad ferch Llywelyn (c. 1212–1256), probable daughter by Joan; married Maelgwn Fychan.
Tegwared y Baiswen ap Llywelyn (c. 1215), a son by a woman named as Crysten in some sources, a possible twin of Angharad.[70]
