To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rhiryd had a son, Madog, of whom, in conjunction with Cadwgan's son, Owain, we shall have to speak when we come to consider the doings of those two lawless young men. Bleddyn's fifth son, Maredudd, died in 1132, and transmitted the rights of his family to many future generations GRUFFYDD AP CYNAN AND TRAHAEARN The year 1075 brought into prominence another Welsh prince Gruffydd ap Cynan, half Dane, half Welshman, who in the years to come was destined to wage almost continual war on the Normans. ...In the year of Bleddyn's death we find Gruffydd directing an attack upon Rhuddlan Castle. The attempt seems to have been but partially successful. The outworks were destroyed, but the keep remained secure. Rhuddlan was still in Norman hands, though despoiled. 1 86 GRUFFYDD TO OWAIN OF POWYS Of this Gruffydd we shall treat at greater length in a subsequent chapter. To interpose an account of his life here would be to destroy what continuity there is in our treatment of these disjointed times. After the success of 1075 we find his own people revolting against Gruffydd on account of the large number of Irish mercenaries which he kept around him.
