No. There was no Richard XVI.
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.
He tried to get more land so he attempted to take over Wales. The Welsh King stood up for his country, as did his son, but they were captured. Edward I decided to give his eldest son the title of Prince of Wales so no Welsh prince could become King. This tradition is still running.
Llywelyn ap Gruffydd was the last Prince of Wales before it was conquered by England in 1282.
Gwenllian of Wales was born in 1282.
Principality of Wales ended in 1282.
It could be dated as 1282 with the death of the Welsh king, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. Independence was briefly restored under Owain Glyndwr from 1404 to 1415 and Wales was formally united with England in 1536.
