Maelgwn ap Rhys
Maelgwn ap Rhys (c. 1170–1230) was prince of part of the kingdom of Deheubarth in south west Wales.
Maelgwn was the son of Rhys ap Gruffydd ("The Lord Rhys") by his wife Gwenllian ferch Madog, daughter of Madog
ap Maredudd prince of Powys.
He appears in the historical record for the first time helping at the siege of Tenby in 1187.
In 1188 when Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury and Giraldus Cambrensis travelled through Wales raising men for the Third Crusade, Maelgwn is recorded as having taken the cross, though there is no record that he actually went on the crusade.
Maelgwn was described as being short in stature and a turbulent character, who caused his father much trouble in his later years and maintained a lengthy feud with his brother Gruffydd.
He was kept a prisoner from 1189 to 1192.
In 1194 he and his brother Hywel defeated their father in battle and imprisoned him in Nevern castle, though he was later released by Hywel.
Maelgwn was in exile when Rhys died in 1197.
Gruffydd had been recognised as his father's successor, but Maelgwn, helped by troops supplied by Gwenwynwyn ab Owain of Powys attacked and captured the town and castle of Aberystwyth, taking Gruffydd prisoner.
Maelgwn handed Gruffydd over to Gwenwynwyn and took possession of Ceredigion.
When Gwenwynwyn was defeated at Painscastle by Norman forces in 1198
Gruffydd was set free and recaptured all Ceredigion from Maelgwn except for the castles of Cardigan and Ystrad Meurig.
Maelgwn came to an agreement with King John of England and sold Cardigan castle to John, taking possession of the remainder of Ceredigion himself.
The annalist of Brut y Tywysogion commented:
Gruffydd died in 1201, enabling Maelgwn to seize Cilgerran Castle, but in 1204 he lost it to William Marshall.
In 1204 Maelgwn's men attacked his brother Hywel, leaving him with wounds of which he later died.
In 1205 according to Brut y Tywysogion, Maelgwn caused a certain Irishman to kill Cedifor ap Gruffudd and his four sons with a battle-axe after they had been captured.
The chronicler of Brut y Tywysogion again disapproved, describing Cedifor as "a praiseworthy man, gracious, strong and generous".
In 1207 Maelgwn's ally, Gwenwynwyn of Powys fell out with King John and his lands were taken into the custody of the crown.
Llywelyn the Great of Gwynedd took advantage of this to annex the northern part of Ceredigion from Maelgwn and to give the lands between the River Ystwyth and the River Aeron to the sons of Gruffydd.
Maelgwn helped King John to force Llywelyn to come to terms in 1211 but these lands were not returned to him, and this induced him to throw in his lot with Llywelyn instead of the king.
However, when Llywelyn held a parliament at Aberdyfi in 1216, at which he redistributed the lands formerly under the rule of the Lord Rhys
, Maelgwn was still only allowed the southern part of Ceredigion.
Maelgwn died in 1230 in Llannerch Aeron and was buried at Strata Florida Abbey.
His territory passed to his son, Maelgwn ap Maelgwn, called Maelgwn Fychan.
In the late 1230s, the latter agreed a treaty with Gilbert Marshal, 4th Earl of Pembroke, whereby Maelgwn Fychan's son, Rhys, would marry Gilbert's bastard daughter, Isabel, and receive the cantref of Is-Aeron, except the commote of Is-Hirwen (which contained Cardigan Castle), as dowry; in return Maelgwn Fychan and Rhys would become vassals of Gilbert (so far as it didn't compromise fealty to the king).

Rhys ap Gruffydd
Rhys ap Gruffydd or ap Gruffudd
(often anglicised to "Griffith"; 1132 – 28 April 1197) was the ruler of the kingdom of Deheubarth in south Wales from 1155 to 1197.
Today, he is commonly known as The Lord Rhys, in Welsh
"Yr Arglwydd Rhys", although this title may have not been used in his lifetime.
He usually used the title "Proprietary Prince of Deheubarth" or "Prince of South Wales", but two documents have been discovered in which he uses the title "Prince of Wales" or "Prince of the Welsh".
Rhys was one of the most successful and powerful Welsh princes, and, after the death of Owain Gwynedd of Gwynedd in 1170, the dominant power in Wales.
Rhys's grandfather, Rhys ap Tewdwr, was king of Deheubarth, and was killed at Brecon in 1093 by Bernard de Neufmarché.
Following his death, most of Deheubarth was taken over by the Normans.
Rhys's father, Gruffydd ap Rhys, eventually was able to become ruler of a small portion, and more territory was won back by Rhys's older brothers after Gruffydd's death.
Rhys became ruler of Deheubarth in 1155.
He was forced to submit to King Henry II of England in 1158.
Henry invaded Deheubarth in 1163, stripped Rhys of all his lands and took him prisoner.
A few weeks later he was released and given back a small part of his holdings.
Rhys made an alliance with Owain Gwynedd and, after the failure of another invasion of Wales by Henry in 1165, was able to win back most of his lands.
In 1171 Rhys made peace with King Henry and was confirmed in possession of his recent conquests as well as being named Justiciar of South Wales.
He maintained good relations with King Henry until the latter's death in 1189.
Following Henry's death Rhys revolted against Richard I and attacked the Norman lordships surrounding his territory, capturing a number of castles.
In his later years Rhys had trouble keeping control of his sons, particularly Maelgwn and Gruffydd, who maintained a feud with each other.
Rhys launched his last campaign against the Normans in 1196 and captured a number of castles.
The following year he died unexpectedly and was buried in St David's Cathedral.
Gruffudd ap Rhys
Gruffudd ap Rhys was Archdeacon of Brecon from 1345 until 1366.
Cynan ap Maredudd
Cynan ap Maredudd( died 1295) was a Welsh nobleman who assumed leadership of the Welsh revolt of Madog ap Llywelyn in the mid-Wales area in 1294 and 1295.
He is recorded in the Welsh chronicle Brut y Tywysogyon as having jointly led the revolt in Deheubarth with Maelgwn ap Rhys( died 1295), but this seems unlikely given his known activities were confined to territories well to the north of those of Maelgwn.
He is known to have besieged Builth Castle, and also attacked the castle at Cefnllys.
After the collapse of the revolt in the summer of 1295, he was captured, apparently at Hereford, and executed.
Maelgwn ap Rhys (rebel)
Maelgwn ap Rhys( died 1295, birth unknown) was a rebel and descendant of Maelgwn ap Rhys ap Gruffydd.
HIs father was Rhys Fychan, Geneu'r Glyn's last lord.
On 29 September 1294, Madog ap Llywelyn led a national revolt against King Edward's royal administration in north and west Wales.
While Madog rebelled in the North, Maelgwn ap Rhys led the revolt in Ceredigion.
Maelgwn attempted a siege of Llanbadarn but was unsuccessful.
His campaign also involved heavy raids in Pembroke and Carmarthen, until the earl of Gloucester's men killed Maelgwn in 1295 in a fight near Carmarthen.
Maelgwn had two brothers, Rhys and Gruffydd, both of whom were imprisoned in Norwich until as late as 1308.
Thomas Scott (diver)
