Treaty of Aberconwy

The Treaty of Aberconwy, signed in 1277, was a significant agreement in the conflict over Welsh independence. It marked the end of the first Welsh war led by Prince Llewelyn ap Gruffudd against the English King Edward I. The treaty established English dominance over Wales, imposing restrictions on Welsh land and governance. It recognized Llewelyn as a prince but required him to acknowledge Edward as his overlord. This treaty was a crucial step in Edward's campaign to consolidate his rule in Wales, leading to increased tensions and further conflict in subsequent years.
