history

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rhodri ap Merfyn (c. 820 – 873/877/878), popularmente conocido como Rhodri el Grande (galés: Rhodri Mawr), sucedió a su padre, Merfyn Frych, como rey de Gwynedd en 844. Rhodri anexó Powys c. 856 y Seisyllwg c. 871. Es llamado "Rey de los británicos" por los Anales del Ulster. En algunas historias posteriores, se le conoce como "Rey de Gales", aunque el título es anacrónico y su reino no incluía el sur de Gales.

Linaje y herencia

Rhodri era el hijo del rey Merfyn Frych,[1] quien había reclamado Gwynedd tras la extinción de la línea masculina de Cunedda. [2] Rhodri luego heredó el reino después de la muerte de su padre alrededor de 844. [1] Merfyn provenía de "Manaw", que puede referirse a la Isla de Man o Manau, la patria ancestral de todos los reyes de Gwynedd desde Cunedda. [2]

Según genealogías posteriores, su madre o abuela fue Nest ferch Cadell de la dinastía gobernante en Powys, y Rhodri heredó el reino a través de su tío Cyngen y luego el gobierno de los reinos del sur a la muerte de Gwgon, cuñado de Rhodri. [1] Aunque los textos sobrevivientes de la ley galesa prohíben expresamente la herencia a lo largo de la línea materna, la supuesta herencia de Nest y Rhodri se usó más tarde para justificar la anexión de Powys por parte de Gwynedd después de la muerte de Cyngen ap Cadell en c. 855 en preferencia a los otros herederos de Cyngen. [3]

Del mismo modo, el matrimonio de Rhodri con Angharad ferch Meurig se utilizó para explicar su supuesta herencia del reino de Ceredigion de su hermano Gwgon después de la muerte de ese rey en 872 [a] a través de un principio de jure uxoris que no sobrevive en nuestras fuentes para la ley galesa. [cita requerida]

Reinado

Ahora el amo de gran parte del Gales moderno, Rhodri se enfrentó a la presión tanto de los ingleses como, cada vez más, de los vikingos, llamados los "gentiles negros" [b] en las fuentes galesas. [1] Se registra que los daneses devastaron Anglesey en 854. En 856, Rhodri obtuvo una notable victoria y mató a su líder Gorm.

La Crónica de los Príncipes registra dos victorias de Rhodri en 872: la primera en un lugar dado como Bangolau,[4] Bann Guolou,[5] o Bannoleu,[6] donde derrotó a los vikingos en Anglesey "en una dura batalla"[4] y la segunda en Manegid[4] o Enegyd[7] donde los vikingos "fueron destruidos".

La Crónica de los Príncipes registra su muerte ocurrida en la Batalla del Domingo en Anglesey en 873; [4] los Anales de Gales registran los dos eventos en diferentes años[5] [6] y la reconstrucción de Phillimore de sus fechas coloca la muerte de Rhodri en 877. [5] Según la Crónica, Rhodri y su hermano Gwriad fueron asesinados durante una invasión sajona (que probablemente habría sido bajo Ceolwulf de Mercia, dado que las fuerzas de Wessex bajo Alfredo el Grande estaban luchando contra los vikingos en East Anglia en ese momento). Los Anales no registran grandes detalles de la muerte, pero donde el texto B llama al hermano de Gwriad Rhodri,[6] el texto A lo tiene como hijo de Rhodri. [5] Es probable que muriera en batalla dado que todas las fuentes llaman a la victoria de su hijo Anarawd sobre los mercianos en la batalla de Conwy unos años más tarde "la venganza de Dios por Rhodri".

Sucesión

Rhodri murió dejando a los seis hijos para compartir su tierra entre ellos. El relato tradicional es que su hijo mayor, Anarawd, se convirtió en rey de Gwynedd y jefe de la posterior Casa de Aberffraw. [c] A otro, Cadell, se le dio Ceredigion [d]. La familia de Cadell fue conocida más tarde como la Casa de Dinefwr,[1] después de que su base de operaciones fuera trasladada por el hijo de Cadell, el nieto de Rhodri, Hywel Dda a Dyfed después de otra (supuesta) herencia a través del matrimonio de Hywel con Elen ferch Llywarch. El amplio dominio de Hywel, más tarde conocido como Deheubarth, eclipsó brevemente a Gwynedd bajo sus herederos inmediatos antes de fracturarse. [8]

Un cuarto hijo, posiblemente demasiado joven para haber sido considerado para la primera división de las tierras de Rhodri, participó en la venganza de Anarawd en 881 contra Mercia y, herido allí, se hizo conocido en la historia como Tudwal el Cojo, una condición que lo descalificaba del gobierno bajo Cyfraith Hywel, derecho consuetudinario galés.

Notas

La fusión del texto latino normalmente se traduce como "ahogado", pero de hecho también significa simplemente "enterrado".

Es decir, paganos.

La Casa de Aberffraw produjo Gruffudd ap Cynan y Llywelyn el Grande

Cadell mató a su hermano Merfyn para reclamar Powys también.

According to later genealogies, his mother or grandmother was Nest ferch Cadell of the ruling dynasty in Powys, and Rhodri inherited the kingdom through his uncle Cyngen and then the rule of the southern realms on the death of Gwgon, Rhodri's brother in law. Although surviving texts of Welsh law expressly forbid inheritance along the maternal line, Nest and Rhodri's supposed inheritance was later used to justify Gwynedd's annexation of Powys after the c. 855 death of Cyngen ap Cadell in preference to Cyngen's other heirs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodri_the_Great

--------------------------------------

Rhodri el Grande (en galés, Rhodri Mawr; ocasionalmente en inglés, Roderick el Grande) (c. 820–878) fue el primer gobernante de Gales en ser llamado 'Grande' y el primero en gobernar la mayor parte del Gales actual. Fue llamado Rey de los británicos por los Anales de Ulster. En algunas historias posteriores, se le conoce como "Rey de Gales", pero no gobernó todo Gales ni se usó este término simultáneamente para describirlo.

Hijo de Merfyn Frych, rey de Gwynedd, y Nest ferch Cadell de la línea real de Powys, heredó el Reino de Gwynedd tras la muerte de su padre en 844.

Cuando su tío materno Cyngen ap Cadell, gobernante de Powys, murió en una peregrinación a Roma en 855, Rhodri heredó Powys. En 872, Gwgon, gobernante de Seisyllwg en el sur de Gales, se ahogó accidentalmente y Rhodri añadió su reino a sus dominios en virtud de su matrimonio con Angharad, la hermana de Gwgon. Esto lo convirtió en el gobernante de la mayor parte de Gales.

Rhodri enfrentó la presión tanto de los ingleses como cada vez más de los daneses, quienes fueron registrados como arrasadores de Anglesey en 854. En 856, Rhodri obtuvo una notable victoria sobre los daneses, matando a su líder Gorm (a veces dado como Horm). Dos poemas de Sedulius Scotus escritos en la corte de Carlos el Calvo, rey de los francos occidentales, celebran la victoria de "Roricus" sobre los escandinavos.

En 876 Rhodri libró otra batalla contra los invasores nórdicos en Anglesey, después de lo cual tuvo que huir a Irlanda.

A su regreso al año siguiente, se dice que él y su hijo Gwriad fueron asesinados por los ingleses bajo Alfredo el Grande, aunque se desconoce la forma precisa de su muerte. Cuando su hijo, Anarawd ap Rhodri, obtuvo una victoria sobre los mercianos unos años más tarde, fue aclamado en los anales como "la venganza de Dios por Rhodri".

Evento histórico: el zar Simeón el Grande fue el gobernante de Bulgaria, que reinó entre 893 y 927. Tenía 27 años cuando tomó el trono de manos de su hermano Vladimir, el hijo del príncipe Boris, quien fue depuesto y posiblemente cegado por su propio padre después de su intento de devolver Bulgaria al paganismo. Una de las primeras decisiones que tomó después de asumir el trono fue trasladar la capital de Bulgaria de Pliska a Preslav.

Esto lo convirtió en el gobernante de la mayor parte de Gales.

Resistencia contra los daneses

En 877 Rhodri libró otra batalla contra los invasores nórdicos en Anglesey, esta vez obligado a huir a Irlanda.

Sucesión

Su hijo Cadell ap Rhodri conquistó Dyfed, que luego se unió a Seisyllwg por el nieto de Rhodri, Hywel Dda, para convertirse en Deheubarth. Al igual que su abuelo, Hywel llegaría a gobernar la mayor parte de Gales.

Historia: distrito de Dinefwr, condado de Dyfed, sur de Gales. Creado en la reorganización administrativa de 1974, cubre un área de 375 millas cuadradas (971 km cuadrados) y se eleva desde una altura de poco más de 100 pies (30 m) en el valle Tywi en el centro de Dinefwr hasta alturas de más de 2000 pies ( 600 m) en las Montañas Negras al sur. El distrito de Dinefwr limita con los distritos de Ceredigion al norte, Brecknock al este, Lliw Valley y Llanelli al sur y Carmarthen al oeste. La ciudad del distrito de Llandovery tenía una importancia estratégica en la época romana, y la Iglesia de Llanfair (restaurada en 1915) cercana se construyó dentro de las murallas de un fuerte romano. Las ruinas del castillo de Dynevor del siglo XIII se encuentran justo al oeste de Llandeilo. Originalmente construido en el año 876 dC por el noble galés Rhodri Mawr, el castillo fue tomado por los ingleses en el siglo XIII y reconstruido; el líder galés Owen Glendower intentó retomarlo en 1408 pero fracasó.

Dinefwr es un distrito rural en el que la ganadería lechera es la principal actividad agrícola. Tanto Llandovery como Llandeilo son pueblos con mercados agrícolas, y Llandeilo también es el administrador

sede representativa del distrito. La industria limitada de Dinefwr está ubicada en Ammanford, un centro minero situado en un yacimiento de carbón de antracita rodeado de paisajes pintorescos. Muchos turistas visitan el distrito ya que la mayor parte de su mitad este se encuentra dentro del Parque Nacional Brecon Beacons. La Escuela Superior de Agricultura del Condado está en Llandeilo. Una carretera y un ferrocarril se extienden hacia el sur desde Llandovery a través de Llandeilo y Ammansford. Estallido. (est. 1986) 37,200.

Primer gobernante de Gales en ser llamado 'Grande' y el primero en gobernar la mayor parte del Gales actual. Los Annals of Ulster se refieren a él como "Rey de los británicos".

En 877 Rhodri libró otra batalla contra los invasores nórdicos en Anglesey, esta vez obligado a huir a Irlanda.

Familia

Rhodri murió dejando tres hijos:

Su heredero, Anarawd ap Rhodri, quien se convirtió en el nuevo rey de los británicos, asumiendo la realeza del Reino de Gwynedd;

Su hijo Cadell ap Rhodri, quien conquistó Dyfed, al que luego se unió con Seisyllwg el nieto de Rhodri, Hywel Dda, para convertirse en Deheubarth. Al igual que su abuelo, Hywel llegaría a gobernar la mayor parte de Gales; y

Su hijo Merfyn ap Rhodri, quien se convirtió en rey del Reino de Powys.

rodri el grande

En Inglaterra, el período comprendido entre el 800 y el 1000 d. C. a menudo se denomina el período anglosajón tardío y, en cierta medida, lo mismo puede decirse de Gales, en la medida en que la amenaza y la tensión constantes creadas por la presencia de poderosos reinos anglosajones. al este ayudó a definir y crear un sentido de identidad separada e incluso nacionalismo, aunque ese nacionalismo a menudo se vio eclipsado por intereses regionales.

Se hicieron numerosos intentos a lo largo de este período para crear, si no una nación de Gales, al menos reinos más grandes y poderosos dentro de Gales.

Uno de los primeros líderes de estos tentativos movimientos hacia el nacionalismo fue Rhodri ap Merfyn, más tarde conocido como Rhodri Mawr (Rhodri el Grande).

Rhodri era hijo de Merfyn, rey de Gwynedd y Nest de Powys. A través del matrimonio más que de la conquista, Rhodri gobernó un reino que se extendía desde Anglesey

a la península de Gower en el momento de su muerte en 877. Aunque la extensión de su reino habría sido suficiente para hacer famoso a Rhodri, era más conocido como guerrero, un renombre que se notó en lugares tan lejanos como Ulster y Lieja. .

El mayor triunfo de Rhodri llegó en 856 contra una fuerza de daneses que desembarcaron en Anglesey. Las luchas de Rhodri y sus compañeros líderes galeses no fueron todas con los daneses. Una amenaza igualmente potente se encontraba al este de Offa's Dyke en forma de los ingleses. Los reyes ingleses de Mercia hicieron varios intentos de tomar Powys, con un éxito temporal en 822.

Solo 7 años después, la propia Mercia sucumbió al creciente poderío de Wessex y, desde ese momento, el reino del sur planteó una amenaza constante para la independencia de Gales. Desde 871, el líder de Wessex fue Alfredo el Grande.

En 877 los dos "Grandes", Rhodri y Alfred se enfrentaron, y el líder galés y su hijo Gwriad fueron asesinados. En el vacío que siguió a la muerte de Rhodri, los reyes de Gales, tal vez temiendo más el poder de los daneses que la amenaza de Alfredo, y temerosos del poder de los hijos de Rhodri, se sometieron al señorío de Wessex.

Finalmente, incluso los hijos de Rhodri, Anarawd (rey de Gwynedd y Powys) y Cadell (Seisyllwg) se vieron obligados a reconocer a Alfred como su señor supremo. Este paso iba a tener consecuencias de gran alcance, ya que los líderes ingleses posteriores podrían reclamar el señorío de prácticamente todo Gales.

Rodri Mawr

Rey de Gales

Walker 1990; Davies 1990

Según la leyenda, el primer castillo de Dinefwr (derecha) fue construido por Rhodri Mawr, rey de Gales, en el siglo IX. Es inevitable que la atención se centre en los gobernantes galeses que extendieron su poder sobre gran parte de Gales en los siglos anteriores a la conquista normanda. Prefiguraron los intentos de los príncipes de Gwynedd en el siglo XIII de crear un estado galés unificado, y coincidieron con los desarrollos contemporáneos en Inglaterra y desarrollos similares, pero posteriores, en Escocia. Entonces, Rhodri Mawr (844-78) se presenta como alguien que estableció un patrón para el futuro. Gobernó o, por sus cualidades personales, dominó gran parte de Gales.

Los cronistas de su generación aclamaron a Rhodri ap Merfyn como Rhodri Mawr (Rhodri el Grande), una distinción otorgada a otros dos gobernantes en el mismo siglo: Carlos el Grande (Carlomagno, muerto en 814) y Alfredo el Grande (muerto en 899). Los tres tributos son de naturaleza similar: reconocimiento de los logros de hombres que contribuyeron significativamente al crecimiento de la condición de Estado entre las naciones galesa, franca e inglesa. Desafortunadamente, toda la evidencia relacionada con la vida de Rhodri consta de unas pocas oraciones; sin embargo, debe haber causado una profunda impresión en los galeses, porque en los siglos posteriores ser de la línea de Rhodri era una calificación principal para sus gobernantes. Hasta su muerte, Rhodri fue reconocido como gobernante de más de la mitad de Gales, tanto por la diplomacia como por la conquista.

La fama de Rhodri surgió de su éxito como guerrero. Ese éxito fue señalado por The Ulster Chronicle y por Sedulius Scottus, un erudito irlandés en la corte del emperador Carlos el Calvo en Lieja. Fue su victoria sobre los vikingos en 856 lo que le valió la aclamación internacional. Gales estaba menos ricamente provisto de tierra fértil y de ríos navegables que atrajeron a los vikingos, y los reyes de Gales tuvieron un éxito considerable al resistirlos. Anglesey soportó la peor parte de los ataques, y fue allí en 856 donde Rhodri obtuvo su gran victoria sobre Horn, el líder de los daneses, para deleite de los irlandeses y los francos.

No era sólo desde el oeste que el reino de Rhodri estaba amenazado. Al convertirse en gobernante de Powys, la tierra de su madre, heredó la antigua lucha con el reino de Mercia. Aunque Offa's Dyke se había construido para definir los territorios de los galeses y los ingleses, esto no impidió que los sucesores de Offa atacaran Gales. La presión sobre Powys continuó; después de 855, Rhodri fue su defensor, y él y su hijo, Gwriad, murieron en la batalla contra los ingleses en 878.

Rhodri the Great (in Welsh, Rhodri Mawr; occasionally in English, Roderick the Great) (c. 820–878) was the first ruler of Wales to be called 'Great', and the first to rule most of present-day Wales. He was called King of the Britons by the Annals of Ulster. In some later histories, he is referred to as "King of Wales" but he did not rule all of Wales nor was this term used contemporaneously to describe him.

The son of Merfyn Frych, King of Gwynedd, and Nest ferch Cadell of the Royal line of Powys, he inherited the Kingdom of Gwynedd on his father's death in 844.

When his maternal uncle Cyngen ap Cadell ruler of Powys died on a pilgrimage to Rome in 855 Rhodri inherited Powys. In 872 Gwgon, ruler of Seisyllwg in southern Wales, was accidentally drowned, and Rhodri added his Kingdom to his domains by virtue of his marriage to Angharad, Gwgon's sister. This made him the ruler of the larger part of Wales.

Rhodri faced pressure both from the English and increasingly from the Danes, who were recorded as ravaging Anglesey in 854. In 856 Rhodri won a notable victory over the Danes, killing their leader Gorm (sometimes given as Horm). Two poems by Sedulius Scotus written at the court of Charles the Bald, King of the Western Franks, celebrate the victory of "Roricus" over the Norsemen.

In 876 Rhodri fought another battle against the Norse invaders on Anglesey, after which he had to flee to Ireland.

On his return the following year, he and his son Gwriad were said to have been killed by the English under Alfred the Great, though the precise manner of his death is unknown. When his son, Anarawd ap Rhodri won a victory over the Mercians a few years later, it was hailed in the annals as "God's vengeance for Rhodri".

Historical Event: Tsar Simeon the Great was the ruler of Bulgaria, who reigned 893 - 927. He was 27 when he took the throne from his brother Vladimir, the son of Prince Boris, who was deposed and possibly blinded by his own father after his attempt to return Bulgaria to paganism. One of the first decisions which he took after taking over the throne was to move the capital of Bulgaria from Pliska to Preslav.

Lineage & inheritance

The son of Merfyn Frych, King of Gwynedd, and Nest ferch Cadell of the Royal line of Powys, he inherited the Kingdom of Gwynedd on his father's death in 844.

When his uncle Cyngen ap Cadell ruler of Powys died on a pilgrimage to Rome in 855 Rhodri inherited Powys. In 872 Gwgon, ruler of Seisyllwg in southern Wales, was accidentally drowned, and Rhodri added his Kingdom to his domains by virtue of his marriage to Angharad, Gwgon's sister. This made him the ruler of the larger part of Wales.

Resistance against Danes

In 877 Rhodri fought another battle against the Norse invaders on Anglesey, this time being forced to flee to Ireland.

Defeat and death

Succession

His son Cadell ap Rhodri conquered Dyfed, which was later joined with Seisyllwg by Rhodri's grandson Hywel Dda to become Deheubarth. Like his grandfather, Hywel would come to rule most of Wales.

Source: Wikipedia

He united Gwynedd, Powys & Deheubarth thru war and marriage.

History: Dinefwr district, Dyfed county, southern Wales. Created in the administrative reorganization of 1974, it covers an area of 375 square miles (971 square km) and rises from an elevation of just over 100 feet (30 m) in the Tywi valley in central Dinefwr to heights of more than 2,000 feet (600 m) in the Black Mountains to the south. Dinefwr district is bordered by the districts of Ceredigion to the north, Brecknock to the east, Lliw Valley and Llanelli to the south, and Carmarthen to the west. The district's town of Llandovery was of strategic importance in Roman times, and the Church of Llanfair (restored 1915) nearby was built within the ramparts of a Roman fort. The ruins of the 13th-century Dynevor Castle are located just west of Llandeilo. Originally built in AD 876 by the Welsh nobleman Rhodri Mawr, the castle was taken by the English in the 13th century and rebuilt; the Welsh leader Owen Glendower tried to retake it in 1408 but failed.

Dinefwr is a rural district in which dairy farming is the main agricultural activity. Both Llandovery and Llandeilo are agricultural market towns, and Llandeilo is also the administrative seat for the district. Dinefwr's limited industry is located in Ammanford, a mining centre situated on an anthracite coalfield surrounded by scenic countryside. Many tourists visit the district as most of its eastern half lies within Brecon Beacons National Park. The County Agricultural College is in Llandeilo. A highway and a railway extend south from Llandovery through Llandeilo and Ammansford. Pop. (1986 est.) 37,200.

First ruler of Wales to be called 'Great', and the first to rule most of present-day Wales. He is referred to as "King of the Britons" by the Annals of Ulster.

In 877 Rhodri fought another battle against the Norse invaders on Anglesey, this time being forced to flee to Ireland.

Family

Rhodri died leaving three sons:

His heir, Anarawd ap Rhodri, who became the new king of the britons, taking kingship of the Kingdom of Gwynedd;

His son Cadell ap Rhodri, who conquered Dyfed, which was later joined with Seisyllwg by Rhodri's grandson Hywel Dda to become Deheubarth. Like his grandfather, Hywel would come to rule most of Wales; and

His son Merfyn ap Rhodri, who became the king of the Kingdom of Powys.

Rhodri the Great

In England the period from 800-1000 AD is often called the late Anglo-Saxon period, and in some measure the same can be said for Wales, in as much as the constant threat and tension created by the presence of powerful Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to the east helped define and create a sense of separate identity and even nationalism - though that nationalism was often overshadowed by regional interests.

Numerous attempts were made throughout this period to create, if not a nation of Wales, then at least larger and more powerful kingdoms within Wales.

One of the early leaders of these tentative movements toward nationalism was Rhodri ap Merfyn, later to be known as Rhodri Mawr (Rhodri the Great).

Rhodri was the son of Merfyn, king of Gwynedd, and Nest of Powys. Through marriage more than conquest, Rhodri was ruler of a realm stretching from Anglesey to the Gower peninsula by the time of his death in 877. Although the extent of his kingdom would have been enough to make Rhodri's fame, he was more reknown as a warrior, a reknown that was noted in places as far afield as Ulster and Liege.

Rhodri's greatest triumph came in 856 against a force of Danes who made landing in Anglesey. The struggles of Rhodri and his fellow Welsh leaders were not all with the Danes. An equally potent threat lay to the east of Offa's Dyke in the form of the English. The English kings of Mercia made several attempts to take Powys - with temporary success in 822.

Just 7 years later Mercia itself succumbed to the growing might of Wessex, and from that point the southern kingdom posed an ongoing threat to Welsh independence. From 871 the leader of Wessex was Alfred the Great.

In 877 the two "Greats", Rhodri and Alfred clashed, and the Welsh leader and his son Gwriad were killed. In the vaccuum following Rhodri's death, Welsh kings, perhaps fearing the might of the Danes more than the threat of Alfred, and fearful of the power of Rhodri's sons, submitted to the overlordship of Wessex.

Eventually even Rhodri's sons Anarawd (king of Gwynedd and Powys) and Cadell (Seisyllwg) were forced to acknowledge Alfred as their overlord. This step was to have far-reaching consequences, for subsequent English leaders could claim overlordship of virtually all Wales.

Rhodri Mawr

King of Wales

Follow this link for a Welsh language version of this page!

Walker 1990; Davies 1990

According to legend, the first Dinefwr Castle (right) was built by Rhodri Mawr - King of Wales in the 9th century. It is unavoidable that attention should focus on those Welsh rulers who extended their power over much of Wales in the centuries prior to the Norman conquest. They foreshadowed the attempts by the princes of Gwynedd in the 13th century to create a unified Welsh state, and they matched contemporary developments in England, and similar, but later, developments in Scotland. So, Rhodri Mawr (844-78) is presented as one who set a pattern for the future. He either ruled or, by his personal qualities, dominated much of Wales.

Chroniclers of his generation hailed Rhodri ap Merfyn as Rhodri Mawr (Rhodri the Great), a distinction bestowed upon two other rulers in the same century - Charles the Great (Charlemagne, died 814) and Alfred the Great (died 899). The three tributes are of a similar nature - recognition of the achievements of men who contributed significantly to the growth of statehood among the nations of the Welsh, the Franks and the English. Unfortunately, the entire evidence relating to the life of Rhodri consists of a few sentences; yet he must have made a deep impression upon the Welsh, for in later centuries being of the line of Rhodri was a primary qualification for their rulers. Until his death, Rhodri was acknowledged as ruler of more than half of Wales, and that as much by diplomacy as by conquest.

Rhodri's fame sprang from his success as a warrior. That success was noted by The Ulster Chronicle and by Sedulius Scottus, an Irish scholar at the court of the Emperor Charles the Bald at Liege. It was his victory over the Vikings in 856 which brought him international acclaim. Wales was less richly provided with fertile land and with the navigable rivers that attracted the Vikings, and the Welsh kings had considerable success in resisting them. Anglesey bore the brunt of the attacks, and it was there in 856 that Rhodri won his great victory over Horn, the leader of the Danes, much to the delight of the Irish and the Franks.

It was not only from the west that the kingdom of Rhodri was threatened. By becoming the ruler of Powys, his mother's land, he inherited the old struggle with the kingdom of Mercia. Although Offa's Dyke had been constructed in order to define the territories of the Welsh and the English, this did not prevent the successors of Offa from attacking Wales. The pressure on Powys continued; after 855, Rhodri was its defender, and he and his son, Gwriad, were killed in battle against the English in 878.

80. Rhodri ap Merfyn (Rhodri Mawr)

Leaders

820 – 878

Warrior, prince and the first Welsh ruler to be called “Great”.

The son of Merfyn Frych, Rhodri inherited the principality of Gwynedd on his father"s death in 844, and Powys from his uncle. He proceeded to marry Angharad, daughter of the ruler of Seisyllwg, which he duly inherited on the accidental death of his brother-in-law in 871.

This enlarged kingdom covered all of northern and central Wales, stretching down to the Gower peninsula in the south.

Rhodri"s fame sprang from his success as a warrior after his many battles with the Vikings. Anglesey bore the brunt of the attacks, and it was there in 856 that Rhodri won his great victory over Horn, the leader of the Danes.

It was not only from the west that the kingdom of Rhodri was threatened. By becoming the ruler of Powys, his mother"s land, he inherited the old struggle with the kingdom of Mercia and in 878 Rhodri and his son, Gwriad, were killed in battle against the English.

Apart from these bare facts, little information about Rhodri survives to the present. Yet his prestige was such that to be “of the line of Rhodri” was a powerful factor in later Welsh power struggles.

Rhodri’s grandson Hywel Dda built on the foundations he had laid, creating the kingdom of Deheubarth. This extensive geographical unit with its common legal system was, arguably, the closest there has ever been to a unified and independent Welsh state.

King Rhodri the Great (in Welsh, Rhodri Mawr; occasionally in English, Roderick the Great), was the first ruler of Wales to be called "Great," and the first to rule most of present-day Wales. He was called King of the Britons by the Annals of Ulster.

Rhodri inherited the Kingdom of Gwynedd on his father's death in 844. When his uncle Cyngen ap Cadell ruler of Powys died on a pilgrimage to Rome in 855 Rhodri inherited Powys. In 872 Gwgon, ruler of Seisyllwg in southern Wales, was accidentally drowned, and Rhodri added his Kingdom to his domains by virtue of his marriage to Angharad, Gwgon's sister. This made him the ruler of the larger part of Wales.

In 877 Rhodri fought another battle against the Norse invaders on Anglesey, this time being forced to flee to Ireland.

Rhodri was our ancestor through two distinct descent lines--through his son Anarawad and through his son Cadell, each of whom was independently our ancestor. We have documentation of the complete descent line through Cadell, but there are gaps in what we know of the line through Anarawad. Anarawd ap Rhodri (died 916) was King of Gwynedd (northern Wales), and his son (our ancestor) was Foel ap Anarawd (Idwal the Bald), who died 942; then there is a gap: We have no documentation on Foel's son or grandson. His great-grandson was Iago ab Idwal ap Meurig, King of Gwynedd (died 1039), and we have documentation of each generation from him to you. The two lines meet when Marared, descended from Cadell, married King Iorweth ap Owain of Wales (1145-1174), descended from Anarawad, and their offspring was King Llewelyn the Great of Wales (1173-1240).

King of Gwynedd, Powys and Seisyllwg.

Rhodri was the first ruler of Wales to be called "the Great" and the first to rule most of present day Wales. He inherited the kingdom of Gwynedd on his father's death in 844 and the kingdom of Powys in 855 when hi uncle Cyngen ap Cadell, Ruler of Powys, died on pilgimage to Rome. In 872 when Gwygon, the ruler of Seisyllwg accidentally drowned, Rhodri added his kingdom to his domain by virtue of his marriage to Angharad, Gwgon's sister.

Died in 877 or 878, killed in battle with the English as was his son Gwriad.

Rhodri Mawr ap Merfyn became King of Gwynedd in 844 on the death of his father Merfyn Frych; King of Powys in 855 on the death of his uncle Caell ap Brochwell; and King of Seisyllwg in 871 on the death of his brother-in-law Gwgon. Rhodri Mawr was the first ruler recognised as Prince of Wales. He defeated the Danish leader Horn in 856. Rhodri Mawr ap Merfyn married Angharad, daughter of Meuric ap Dyfnwal ap Asthi, King of Seisyllwg, and they had the following sons:

RHODRI MAWR (Rhodri the Great; est b.820 – d.878) succeeded his father MERFYN as king of Gwynedd at a relatively peaceful time when the neighboring kingdom of Mercia was distracted from Wales by pressure from another English tribe, so that he had time to consolidate his kingdom. He may have taken possession of Powys in 855 when its ruler died on a pilgrimage to Rome. Later pedigrees say that he married the sister of the last of the kings of Ceredigion (Cardiganshire) who died in 872, whereupon RHODRI added Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire to his realm. More than any other Welsh king, RHODRI was revered and given a unique place in history with his epithet MAWR as RHODRI the Great. Lloyd said that he earned the title in part by his success in uniting most of Wales, which had been so long divided into petty states (p. 325). It was difficult to achieve this unity, because Wales does not form a natural geographic unit: it has no natural center, as more than half of the country lies at over 600ft, and the population was concentrated in separate regions around the coasts, along the eastern border, and in the river valleys. The unified kingdom RHODRI founded, though it did not retain its unity for long, afforded future ages an instance of what could be achieved. Even though historical sources are slight, later generations kept fresh his lasting significance. Henceforth, it became necessary for anyone who aspired to rule over Wales to claim descent from RHODRI the Great.

RHODRI’S second great role, however, lay in his resistance against the Danes, which Lloyd called strenuous and gallant. Vikings had been attacking and ravaging the seacoasts of Britain, Ireland, and Normandy for at least seven decades, and had begun colonizing inland. John Davies says that it was RHODRI’S “great victory over the Northmen in 856 which brought him international acclaim” as seen in French and Irish chronicles (p.81). The Danes had ravaged Anglesey in 853, but in 856 RHODRI avenged himself by killing their leader Horn, and this loss may have discouraged further attacks. The Irish Chronicles tell us that in 877 he was briefly expelled from his kingdom by Viking raiders, but he was back in Wales the following year. Like the two other European kings of his time who were given the same epithet, the English Alfred the Great and the Germanic Charlemagne, RHODRI united his people and also defended them against the pagan tribes threatening his united homeland. He died in battle, apparently fighting the traditional enemies from Mercia in England in 878.

RHODRI was also renowned for the cultural level of his court and that of his sons. It is claimed that the poems of Aneurin and Taliesin and the histories of Nennius were first written down at this time (J.Davies p.84). An anecdote was told as an example of the high linguistic level of the court, when Irish visitors were given for entertainment a cryptogram which could be solved only by transposing the letters from Latin into Greek. Clearly Wales was experiencing a high level of education and culture by 880 when King Alfred summoned a scholar from St David’s to become his advisor and biographer and “help to civilize his kingdom” (J.Davies p.85).

Rhodri [Mawr: "The Great"] was the son of Merfyn, king of Gwynedd Gwriad-2, and Nest Cadell-47 [verch Cadell] of Powys. Through marriage more than conquest, Rhodri was ruler of a realm stretching from Anglesey to the Gower peninsula by the time of his death in 877/78. Although the extent of his kingdom would have been enough to make Rhodri's fame, he was more reknown as a warrior, a reknown that was noted in places as far afield as Ulster and Liege.

The first leader of importance to emerge among the Welsh was the warrior king Rhodri Mawr (Rhodri the Great). In 855, through skilful alliances and practical marriages, he became king of Powys as well as much of the rest of Wales. Successful in warding off Danish attacks, even killing in battle the Viking leader Gorm, Rhodri gave his country a short but welcome period of unity and stability.

Unfortunately for the future of an independent Wales, Rhodri Mawr's death in 878 was followed by a period of internal strife, and the alliance of his sons with Alfred led to Wales' dependence upon the English king for protection. Dependence upon its stronger neighbor to the east was to be a permanent feature for the rest of the history of Wales, always struggling, but seldom able to break its chains.

Rhodri was killed in battle fighting an English army; it was left to his grandson, Hywel Dda (Howell the Good) to re-establish some sort of predominance among the various petty kingdoms of Wales by wisely keeping the peace with his English neighbors through a policy of conciliation. In his reign, lasting from 904-50, Hywel's territories were known as Deheubarth, which united with Gwynedd and Powys to cover most of Wales with the exception of Glamorgan, in the southeast. The only Welsh king to have earned the title "The Good," he is described in the great medieval history, "The Brut Y Tywysogion" (The Chronicle of the Princes) as "the chief and most praiseworthy of all the Britons."

Rhodri ap Merfyn (English: Rhodri son of Merfyn; c. 820 – c. 878), later known as Rhodri the Great (Welsh: Rhodri Mawr), was King of Gwynedd from around 844 until his death. He is called "King of the Britons" by the Annals of Ulster. In some later histories, he is referred to as "King of Wales", although the title is anachronistic and his realm did not include southern Wales.

Rhodri was the son of Merfyn Frych, who had claimed Gwynedd upon the extinction of Cunedda's male line. Rhodri then inherited the realm after his father's death around 844. Merfyn hailed from "Manaw" which may either refer to the Isle of Man or Manau, the ancestral homeland of all Gwynedd's kings since Cunedda. According to later genealogies, his mother or grandmother was Nest ferch Cadell of the ruling dynasty in Powys. Although surviving texts of Welsh law expressly forbid inheritance along the maternal line, Nest and Rhodri's supposed inheritance was later used to justify Gwynedd's annexation of Powys after the c. 855 death of Cyngen ap Cadell in preference to Cyngen's other heirs. Similarly, Rhodri's marriage to Angharad ferch Meurig was used to explain his supposed inheritance of her brother Gwgon's kingdom of Ceredigion after that king's death in 872[1] via a principle of jure uxoris that does not survive in our sources for Welsh law. Reign[* source | *beta]

Now the master of much of modern Wales, Rhodri faced pressure both from the English and, increasingly, from Vikings, called the "black gentiles"[2] in the Welsh sources. The Danish are recorded ravaging Anglesey in 854. In 856, Rhodri won a notable victory and killed their leader Gorm[disambiguation needed]. The Chronicle of the Princes records two victories by Rhodri in 872: the first at a place given variously as Bangolau,[3] Bann Guolou,[4] or Bannoleu,[5] where he defeated the Vikings on Anglesey "in a hard battle"[3] and the second at Manegid[3] or Enegyd[6] where the Vikings "were destroyed". The Chronicle of the Princes records his death occurring at the Battle of Sunday on Anglesey in 873;[3] the Annals of Wales record the two events in different years[4][5] and Phillimore's reconstruction of its dates places Rhodri's death in 877.[4] According to the Chronicle, Rhodri and his brother Gwriad were killed during a Saxon invasion (which probably would have been under Ceolwulf of Mercia, given that the Wessex forces under Alfred the Great were fighting Vikings in East Anglia at the time); after their death, the distraught women of the island grabbed their men's weapons and forced the Saxons to retreat.[3] The Annals record no great details of the death, but where the B text calls Gwriad Rhodri's brother,[5] the A text has him as Rhodri's son instead.[4] It is likely he was killed in battle given that all the sources call his son Anarawd's victory over the Mercians at the Battle of the Conwy a few years later "God's vengeance for Rhodri". Succession[* source | *beta]

Rhodri died leaving at least four sons to share his land between themselves. The traditional account is that his eldest, Anarawd, became king of Gwynedd and the head of the subsequent House of Aberffraw which produced Gruffydd ap Cynan and Llywelyn the Great. Another, Cadell, was given Ceredigion and killed his brother Merfyn to claim Powys as well. Cadell's family was later known as the House of Dinefwr after its base of operations was moved by Hywel the Good to Dyfed following another (supposed) inheritance via his marriage to Elen ferch Llywarch. Hywel's wide domain, later known as Deheubarth, briefly eclipsed Gwynedd under his immediate heirs before fracturing. A fourth son, possibly too young to have been considered for the first division of Rhodri's lands, took part in Anarawd's 881 revenge against Mercia and, wounded there, became known to history as Tudwal the Lame, a condition disqualifying him from rule under Welsh customary law.
