  • Llywelyn the Great FOLLOW the FOLLOW FOOTSTEPS Medieval Wales Was Divided Into Independent Kingdoms Ruled by Princes
    Heroes and Heroines of Wales Llywelyn the Great FOLLOW THE FOLLOW FOOTSTEPS Medieval Wales was divided into independent kingdoms ruled by princes. Each vied to gain power over the other, whilst also defending themselves from Anglo-Norman lords and the English king. Our story is centred on Gwynedd in north-west Wales, the most remote and mountainous of the Welsh kingdoms. Llywelyn the Great The powerful prince who united Wales Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, known as ‘Llywelyn the Great’ was one of the most famous and powerful of the Princes of Gwynedd. He was a brave warrior, but also a shrewd diplomat. By the time of his death, Llywelyn had united most of native Wales under his rule. uring his reign, Llywelyn built a chain of imposing castles Dto defend the borders of Gwynedd and the heartland of ‘Llywelyn the Great’, one of the Snowdonia. Many of the ruins can still be seen today. He was also most powerful Welsh princes a generous patron of the church and the poets. Making peace with England Llywelyn became ruler of Gwynedd around 1200, and one of his first moves was to make a treaty with King John of England. This was the first written agreement between an English king and a Welsh ruler. Llywelyn swore loyalty to the king, and in return was allowed to keep the territory he had gained in Wales. The alliance with England was strengthened in 1205 when Llywelyn married Joan, the daughter of King John. King John of England Back to battle The peace between the two countries lasted for about ten years.

It is a fascinating story of cut-throat business rivalry and risk-taking when the 19th century Industrial Revolution was at its peak, but unfortunately the Conwy Valley line between Blaenau Ffestiniog and the dock at Deganwy never fulfilled the high expectations of the railway owners who built it. However, some 120 years after being built, the dock was transformed by the successive activities of two entrepreneurs into the new Deganwy Quay of the 21st century. 1 The Llandudno Branch Line A single track railway was built from Llandudno Junction on the main Chester to Holyhead line to the growing seaside resort of Llandudno by the St.
