Idwal ap Meurig of Gwynedd, King of Gwynedd 1)Died 997 Notes: He was the son of Meurig ab Idwal Foel, who, though the rightful heir to the throne, was killed in 986, in the course of one of the many struggles for the kingship which characterised the period from the death of Hywel Dda in 950 until the time of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn. Idwal, on the death of his father, fled for safety to the collegiate establishment at Llancarfan. Maredudd ab Owain then succeeded in usurping the sovereignty of Gwynedd, and a few years after he marched on Glamorgan with an army of Danish mercenaries and laid waste the country; his object was to seize the fugitive Idwal, but in this he was unsuccessful. |
