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.
