Where was Llywelyn the Great from?

Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, later known as Llwywelyn the Great, was born in the former castle at Dolwyddelan, now vanished. When his father, Iorweth, died he was probably taken to Powys to his mother's family when his uncles took power in Gwynedd. There has been speculation that he went to Shropshire but this argument has mostly been refuted now. Llywelyn returned to fight for Gwynedd in his late teens and successfully gained control of the lands that should have reverted to him on his father's death. Gerald of Wales wrote that he was only fourteen when he fought his uncles, but he was proabably a little older and was flattering his patron.


When did Wales join Great Britain?

Wales fell to the power of England in 1282 on the death of the last Welsh Prince of Wales, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, or Llywelyn the last, grandson of Llywelyn the Great. He died in an ambush at Builth in Powys on December 11th, mid afternoon. It was thought that the ambush was a minor skirmish and that he was killed by accident but letters have since come to light that tell that it was a deliberate act to end resistence in Wales. Acts of union were later passed, but in reality it all ended on December 11th 1282.
