Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn (died c. 1286) was a Welsh prince who was lord of the part of Powys known as Powys Wenwynwyn and sided with Edward I in his conquest of Wales of 1277 to 1283.

Gruffydd was the son of Gwenwynwyn ab Owain and Margaret Corbet. He was still a child when his father, who had been driven out of his princedom by Llywelyn the Great, died in exile in 1216. He spent his youth in England, maintained by the king, and did not return to Wales until after Llywelyn's death. When Dafydd ap Llywelyn was forced to come to terms with King Henry III of England in 1241, Gruffydd was given most of the lands formerly held by his father, paying homage to Henry for them. Around this time he married Hawise, daughter of John Lestrange of Knockin.

When Llywelyn ap Gruffudd increased his power in Wales after 1255, Gruffydd continued to support the crown, and in 1257 he was again driven into exile. In 1263 he agreed to transfer his allegiance to Llywelyn under threat of being stripped of his lands, and this was confirmed at the Treaty of Montgomery in 1267. In 1274 Gruffydd, his wife Hawise and his son Owain were all involved with Llywelyn's brother Dafydd ap Gruffydd in a plot to assassinate Llywelyn. Dafydd was with Llywelyn at the time, and it was arranged that Owain would come with armed men on February 2 to carry out the assassination; however he was prevented by a snowstorm. Llywelyn did not discover the full details of the plot until later that year, when Owain confessed to the Bishop of Bangor. He said that the intention had been to make Dafydd prince of Gwynedd, and that Dafydd would then reward Gruffydd with lands. When Llywelyn discovered the details of the plot he sent envoys to Welshpool to summon Gruffydd to appear before him, but Gruffydd fled to England. He settled in Shrewsbury and used it as a base for raids on Llywelyn's lands, probably encouraged by the king. After the war of 1277, when Llywelyn was forced to cede his lands outside Gwynedd, Gruffydd was again given his lands back. He became embroiled in an increasingly bitter dispute with Llywelyn over lands in Arwystli. Llywelyn wanted the issue resolved by Welsh law while Gruffydd wanted English law used and was supported by King Edward I of England.

Gruffydd supported King Edward in the final war of 1282 although by now he was an old man. There have been suggestions that his eldest son Owen may have been involved in the killing of Llywelyn at Cilmeri in December that year.

"In 1277, the Lord of North Powys died leaving two young sons. Mortimer was appointed by King Edward Longshanks to be their guardians. Four years later their bodies washed up in the River Dee, and Mortimer was accused of their murder. They were the last in a royal line, and Mortimer, guilty or not, was granted their lands. It is possible that Mortimer needed the lands to raise his nephew, Roger, as his guardian".

At the end of the Welsh War of 1282-1283 the principality of Powys-Wenwynwyn was abolished and the family - now Marcher Lords - adopted the surname de la Pole meaning "of Poole" referring to their family seat in Poole (modern Welshpool). After 1283 his estate became increasingly controlled by his son Owen and he died some time between February 1286 and the end of 1287.

Owen divided the lands he inherited with his brothers, by arrangements later recorded in detail in the Calendar of Patent Rolls for 1342, pages 496-7

   GRUFFYDD ap GWENWYNWYN (buf. 1286 neu 1287), arglwydd Powys Uchaf; mab hynaf Gwenwynwyn [q.v.] a Margaret Corbet, Caws. Plentyn ydoedd pan fu ei dad f. yn alltud yn 1216 a chadwyd ef o'i etifeddiaeth hyd ar ol marw Llywelyn I; yn y cyfamser treuliodd ei ieuenctid a'i flynyddoedd cynnar fel dyn yn Lloegr, yn ddibynnol ar haelioni'r brenin ac ar waddol ei fam. Pan ymostyngodd David II i Harri III yn 1241 sefydlwyd Gruffydd gan y brenin (eithr ar delerau cwbl ffiwdalaidd) yn arglwyddiaeth tiroedd y teulu yn Arwystli, Cyfeiliog, Mawddwy, Caereinion, y Tair Swydd, a Mochnant Uchaf. Rywbryd cyn yr adeg bwysig hon yn ei yrfa yr oedd wedi

   priodi Hawys (Hawise), merch John Lestrange [q.v.], Knockin.

   Bu'n ddiysgog yn ei deyrngarwch i'r Goron yn ystod y 10 mlynedd cyntaf yr oedd Llywelyn yn ennill awdurdod ynddynt, a bu raid iddo ddioddef colli ei dreftadaeth am yr ail waith a bod yn alltud am yr ail waith hefyd (1257). Yr oedd yn amlwg mai yn erbyn ei ewyllys-a cholli ohono hefyd diroedd Cyfeiliog a oedd yn gorwedd ar ochr ogleddol yr afon Dyfi-y cytunodd, yn 1263, i drosglwyddo ei wrogaeth i Lywelyn a chydweithredu a chynllun hwnnw i sefydlu tywysogaeth ffiwdalaidd Gymreig. Parhaodd y trefniant hwn, a gadarnhawyd yng Nghytundeb Trefaldwyn (1267), hyd 1274, blwyddyn y cynllwyn rhemp yn erbyn bywyd Llywelyn a chynllwyn y bu i Hawys a'i mab Owain gyfran ynddo.

   O Amwythig, lie y llochesai yn ystod ei drydedd alltudiaeth, parhaodd Gruffydd, efallai gyda rhyw gymaint o anogaeth gan y brenin, i beri blinder i Lywelyn a thrwy hynny i achosi, mewn rhan, ryfel y flwyddyn 1277. Wedi iddo gael ei ail sefydlu yn ei arglwyddiaeth ym Mhowys wedi i Lywelyn gael ei ddarostwng, yr oedd eto heb gael yn ol y tiroedd ar du'r gogledd i afon Dyfi; daeth y rhai hyn, bellach, yn destun anghydfod cyfreithiol rhyngddo a thywysog Cymru-a'r sefyllfa gymhleth a ddilynodd yn sgil yr anghydfod hwnnw yn ffurfio rhan o'r plethiad amgylchiadau a arweiniodd i dorri allan y rhyfel yn 1282; yn y rhyfel hwnnw yr oedd Gruffydd gyda'r pwysicaf ymysg pleidwyr Edward.

   Bu fyw am bum mlynedd wedi'r Goncwest, gan f. rhywbryd rhwng 21 Chwefror 1286 a diwedd 1287. Fe'i goroeswyd gan ei wraig (bu f. 1310), chwe mab, ac un ferch. Aeth rhan fwyaf yr etifeddiaeth i'w fab hynaf, owen de la pole, ac, yn nes ymlaen, yn 1309, i John Charlton [q.v.], gwr Hawise, wyres Gruffydd.

   Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn (d 1286 or 1287), lord of Upper Powys; the elder son of Gwenwynwyn by Margaret Corbet of Caus. An infant when his father d., an exile in 1216, he was excluded from his inheritance until after the death of Llywelyn I, meanwhile spending his youth and early manhood in England dependent on royal bounty and his mother's dower. When Dafydd II submitted to Henry III in 1241, the king invested Gruffydd (on strictly feudal terms) with the lordship of the family lands in Arwystli, Cyfeiliog, Mawddwy, Caereinion, Y Tair Swydd, and Upper Mochnant. Sometime before this decisive moment in his career, he had m Hawise, daughter of John Lestrange of Knockin.

   Steadfast in his loyalty to the Crown during the first decade of Llywelyn II's rise to power, he suffered a renewed loss of patrimony and a second exile in 1257. With evident reluctance, and though deprived of the lands of Cyfeiliog lying north of the Dovey, he agreed, in 1263, to transfer his allegiance to Llywelyn and co-operate in the latter's plan for the creation of a native feudal principality. This arrangement, confirmed in the Treaty of Montgomery (1267), lasted until 1274, the year of the notorious plot against Llywelyn's life, in which Hawise and her eldest son, Owen, were deeply implicated.

   From the shelter of his third exile at Shrewsbury, Gruffudd (not without some suspicion of royal encouragement) continued to embarrass Llywelyn, providing in this way one of the occasions for the war of 1277. Reinstated in his barony of Powys after Llywelyn;s humiliation, he was still without the lands north of the Dovey; these now became the subject of the legal controversy between him and the Prince of Cymru, the ensuing complications being part of the web of circumstances which led to the final outbreak of hostilities in 1282, when Gruffydd figured among the most prominent of Edward's supporters.

   He lived for five year after the conquest, dying sometime between 21 Feb 1286 and the end of 1287. He was survived by his wife (d 1310), six sons, and one daughter. The main inheritance passed to the eldest son, Owen de la Pole, and eventually, in 1309, to John Charlton, the husband of Gruffydd's granddaughter, Hawise.

   Gruffudd ap Gwenwynwyn

   In the wake of Dafydd's death, the whole of native Cymru was subject to the authority of Edward I. In the south, he dispossessed all the native lords, with the exception of Rhys ap Maredudd. Rhys had supported Edward throughout the conflicts of the later 1270s and 1280s, and initially was rewarded with substantial lands in Cantref Mawr. But Edward did not intend to permit him any delusions of independence. He was required to surrender the key castle of Dinefwr in October 1283, his ambitions for further expansion at the expense of the Giffard family were blocked, and he was forced to accept the judicial authority of the royal Justiciar in west Cymru. In June 1287, he rebelled. His rebellion was in no sense national: Rhys was concerned with his own grievances, not with Welsh independence. He found little support even in the south-west, and in less than six months, he had lost all lands, castles and status. He escaped capture, remaining an outlaw until April 1292, when he was finally caught and executed. His dispossession had marked the end of substantial native lordship in the former kingdom of Deheubarth.

   In 1282-3, Edward deprived the heirs to Powys Fadog of their lands. But one native lord - arguably the greatest of the time after Llywelyn ap Gruffudd - still survived in possession of his patrimony. This was Gruffudd ap Gwenwynwyn ot Powys Wenwynwyn. Gruffudd had remained loyal to Edward throughout the wars of 1277-1283, and emerged with his lands intact. He had faced a long struggle to retain them. He had inherited Powys Wenwynwyn as a minor in 1216. in the wake of the expulsion of his family from their lands by Llywelyn ap lorwerth. Llywelyn had been granted the lands in wardship until Gruffudd was of age, but Gruffudd in the end had to wait far longer. Llywelyn retained Powys Wenwynwyn in his own hands until his death in 1240. Henry III's government provided the exiled Gruffudd with lands in Derbyshire to support him, and lent half-hearted aid to his attempts at restoring himself in the late 1220s and 1230s. After 1240, Gruffudd found himself caught between the Marcher lords, the ambitions of the princes of Gwynedd, and the king. He faced demands and aggression from all three, and adapted his policy to suit the conditions of the time. His allegiance changed between England and Gwynedd as the fortunes and actions of both dictated, although he was perhaps always a more willing ally of the Crown than of the prince. This was unsurprising: to Gruffudd, growing up in exile, the princes of Gwynedd were the usurpers of his inheritance, dangerous, ambitious and sometimes unscrupulous neighbours seeking to undermine and trammel his authority. The kings also checked his powers, but at a greater distance, and without showing a desire to possess his lands. Gruffudd's main aim, throughout his life, seems to have been to retain his inheritance as intact as possible, and as free as was practical from outside control. As a result of this, his reputation has suffered. He is remembered for his desertion of Llywelyn in 1274, and for his way of changing sides in warfare, but such a judgement is retrospective. Gruffudd was the heir to lands which, as recently as the late eleventh century, had been free from all outside dominion and control. There was a long history of usurpation, conflict and hostility between Gwynedd and Powys, and to Gruffudd, Llywelyn's activities looked less like protection of Welsh independence than like attempts to deprive him of his own freedom.

   Accordingly, Gruffudd adapted to his times. He made his lands over into the shape of a Marcher lordship, employing English law in the dispute over Arwystli, and in his provisions for his sons. In 1278, he laid out the conditions for the succession. He ignored the tradition of partible inheritance, instead securing his lordship to his eldest son, Owain, and gaining royal approval for this. He lacked the charisma and perhaps the wide vision of Llywelyn, but he possessed qualities of his own. Adept at reading the times, he retained his lands more or less intact through one of the most turbulent periods in the history of Cymru. He was never permanently dispossessed by his rivals; he transmitted his lands to his son under terms which English law would recognize and accept. And, alone of the major native leaders of the late thirteenth century, when he died in 1286 it was in his bed, not in war or by execution, in full possession of his lands. His heir inherited without difficulty.

   The Cymru in which Gruffudd died was very different from the Cymru into which he was born. Gwynedd was in English hands; native lordship was dismantled or transformed into something closer to the lordships of the March. The old dynasties which had ruled Cymru had been dispossessed. At the end of the fourteenth century, Owain Glyndwr, a descendant in the male line of the kings of Powys and in the female line of the kings of Deheubarth, would declare himself prince of Cymru, and seek to rebuild native independence. But with the fall of Gwynedd in 1283, the last of the old kingdoms of Cymru had passed away.

   Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn; Lord (feudally) of Arwystli, Caereinion, Cyfeiliog, Mawddwy, Upper Mochnant and Y Tair Swydd by grant of Henry III 1241, though he later supported Llywelyn the Last, Prince of Cymru.

   [Burke's Peerage]

   <nowiki>----------------</nowiki>

   Gruffydd ab Gwenwynwyn (d 1286), lord of Cyveiliog, Upper Powys, or as it was called from his father, Powys Gwenwynwyn, was the son of Gwenwynwyn, the son of Owain Cyveiliog, by his wife, Margaret Corbet. The expulsion of his father from his dominions by Llewelyn, son of Iowerth, led to Gruffydd's being brough up in England, where in 1218 his father died. He was supported by a carge on the revenues of his estates, which remained in Llewelyn's hands, by the dower of his mother's English estates, and by occasional grants from the exchequer, as for example in 1224, when he received half a mark because he was sick. Llewelyn kept Cyvailiog in his hands until his death in 1240, though after 1233 Bruffydd and his followers seem to have frequented the king's border castles. In 1241 Gruffydd paid a fine of three hundred marks to the king and obtained the seisin of all his father's estates, doing homage for them to Henry alone, so that he held as a baron of the king, and was independent of the princes of Gwynedd. In the same year he acted as surety for Senena, wife of Gruffydd ab Llewelyn, in her agreement with Henry III.

   In 1244 Gruffydd was one of the three Welsh magnates who alone remained faithful to the king when Davydd ab Llewelyn revolted. He was besieged at his castle of Walwar, and though steadfast himself was much afraid that his followers would desert to Prince Davydd. In 1247 after Davydd's death, Gruffydd led a South Welsh army over the Dyvi to ravage Gwynedd.

   Gruffydd's fidelity to the English king involved him similarly in conflicts with Llewelyn ab Gruffydd, and brought him more privileges and grants from the crown. After Prince Edward's officers had enraged the Welsh princes by their attempt to introduce the English system of administration, Llewelyn marched against Gruffydd, and in 1256 deprived him of nearly all his lands. In 1257 he lost his territories altogether and took refuge in England, where in 1260 he was summoned, doubtless for his English estates, to serve against Llewelyn. But the English connection had done Gruffydd very little good, and he was also involved in a long, and troublesome suit with his kinsman Thomas Corbet of Caus, for the possession of Gorddwr. In 1263 he revolted from the king and on bended knee did homage to LLewelyn as prince of Cymru, receiving in return some additional grants of territory. He at once besiedged Mold, in the interest of his new lord. In 1267, when the mediation of the legate Ottobon put an end to the war, Gruffydd was recognised by Henry III as a vassal of Llewelyn, but was not required to restore any land which he had held when with the king.

   Gruffydd was not long contented as a vassal of the prince of Cymru. In 1274 Llewelyn upbraided him for his deceit and disloyalty, took from him part of his land, and kept his eldest son Owain at his court. In 1276 Gruffydd and Owain joined with Davydd, Llewelyn's brother in a consipracy against Llewelyn. But the prince found out the plot, and Owain was forced to confess before the Bishop of Bangor. Llewelyn sent five of his nobles to Gruffydd, who at first received them well at Pool Castle, his chief residence. But he soon treacherously suth them up in prision and prepared his castle for a seige. Llewelyn now overran Powys; but the king's campaign in 1277 compelled him to relinquish his conquests, and Gruffydd was again restored. Henceforth Gruffydd remained faithful to King Edward. Fresh lawsuits broke out between him and LLewelyn, which were soon referred to the sword. The fall of Llewelyn left him no longer any temptation to do more than play the part of an English baron. He secured a royal charter in 1282 for a weekly market at his town of Welshpool, which had been previously suppressed as likely to injure the king's town of Montgomery. In 1283 he was summoned to the council which tried his former ally, Davydd, at Shrewsbury.

   He died some time after 27 Feb 1286. His career as well as that of his father illustrates very remarably the process of transition by which Welsh princes became English barons.

   Gruffyydd had married Hawise, daughter of John L'Strange of Knocking, some time before 1242. He left by her a numerous family, among whom he distributed his estates by deed or will, preserved in the Welsh Roll of 6 Edward I. Owain the eldest had Cyveiliog and Arwystli. Lesser portions were provided for his other sons, Llewelyn, Sion, Gwilym, Davydd, and Gruffyd. He also left a daughter Margaret, who married Fulk FitzWarren of Whittington. Hawise, his wife, died in 1310. His heir, Owain of Pool, as he was general called, died in 1293, leaving his son and heir, Gruffydd, only two years old. On the latter's death, before he came of age, Powys went to his sister, Hawise Gadarn, who in 1309 married John Charlton, first lord Charlton of Powys.
