The reign of King John saw increased activity, mostly from 1204 onwards after John lost Normandy to the French king Philip Augustus and had little more to do than look inwards. Henry III, John's son, continued the trend and the conquest was accomplished finally by Edward I 'Longshanks' in 1282 with the death of Llwyelyn the Last in an ambush.
