Llywelyn the Great died on April 12th 1240 from natural causes. He had suffered from a stroke two years or so previously causing him to retire from public life and enter the abbey of Aberconwy where he died. Sadly the abbey no longer exists, Edward I built a castle on it and the body of Llywelyn has been lost. His sarcophagus still survives and can be seen in the church of Llanrwst in the Gwydir chapel.
