Princes of Gwynedd

The Princes of Gwynedd were rulers of a region in north Wales during the medieval period, particularly from the 10th to the 13th centuries. They played a crucial role in the struggle for Welsh independence against English domination. The most notable prince was Llewelyn the Great, who expanded Gwynedd's influence and sought to unite Wales. The title signifies leadership in a time of feudalism, with the princes often involved in alliances, wars, and negotiations. Their legacy is significant in Welsh history, symbolizing national identity and resistance to outside control before the eventual conquest of Wales by England in the late 13th century.
