Web Notes notes for Rhys AP TEWDWR King Of Deheubarth
Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (33A:23), (178:1).
Rhys assumed the kingship of Deheubarth in 1081 following the Battle of Mynydd Carn - at the same time that his distant relative, GRUFFUDD ap CYNAN, his co-victor, assumed the kingship of Gwynedd and Powys. When WILLIAM THE CONQUERER visited Wales in 1081 he recognized Rhys as ruler of Deheubarth. Rhys paid an annual tribute to WILLIAM. WILLIAM died in 1087. His son William Rufus allowed BERNARD of NEUFMARCH his vassal, to attack Deheubarth in 1088. Rhys was killed in 1093 trying to resist BERNARD's incursions. His son, GRUFFUDD, was taken to Ireland for refuge. The chroniclers in both England and Wales saw the killing of Rhys as marking the end of kingship in Wales.
