• Notes

  Gruffydd (pronounced "Griffith") began restoring the power of the Welsh kingdom of Gwynedd after decades of strife and disputed succession. Gruffydd was later captured by the Normans and held prisoner for several years. He was later released and drove the Normans back over to Ireland. He also held his throne against King Henry I of England.
