Most scholars agree that the 1858 Eisteddfod essay by Thomas Stephens finally disproved the mythical discovery of America by Prince Madoc.

The story had never looked very likely - and was probably a Tudor fabrication to contest Spanish rights in the continental mainland.

Who was the ruler of England when Wales joined England?

Wales never joined England. Wales is a pricipality and member of the United Kingdom. The last Welsh King was Owain Gwynedd (1170), the last Prince of Wales (whom was Welsh - duh!) was Madog ap Llywellyn (i think was 1409). I think the last living Prince of Wales who was Welsh (not English), was Prince Einion. The Principality was actually founded around 1206.

Who was the last welsh born prince of wales?

This is an interesting question. I don't think there were any full blood Welsh born prince of Wales because Wales was never fully united unless it was under someone who revolted against the English or tried to conquer all of Wales. But the current Queen of England is part Welsh. She is descended from a Welsh ruler named Rhys ap Gruffudd as were all the English rulers since the Tudors. If you look at it that way, the last Welsh born Prince of Wales is her son, Charles.
