Web Notes notes for Idwal Foel AP ANARAWD King Of Gwynedd
Idwal Foel (or Voel), grandson of Rhodri Mawr, also King of Gwynedd, was taking part in the English assembly at Exeter, in 928. His name also appears with Hywel Dda as a witness to charters: Worthy, Hants, 21 Jun 931; at Luton, 12 Nov 931; Middleton, 30 Aug 932; Winchester, 28 May 934, and Nottingham, 7 Jun 934. (Codex Dipl.)87
Bartrum's "Welsh Genealogies". He was killed when he revolted against his English overlord, EDMUND I, King of Wesex, in 942.
From Wikipedia:
Idwal Foel (Idwal the Bald; died c. 942) or Idwal ab Anarawd (Idwal son of Anarawd) was a 10th-century King of Gwynedd in Wales. A member of the House of Aberffraw, Idwal was credited by William of Malmesbury as being "King of the Britons" in the manner of his father. Idwal inherited the throne of Gwynedd on the death of his father Anarawd around 916. He allied himself with Æthelstan of England upon the latter's ascension in 924. As Æthelstan was ambitious to establish his authority across Britain, Idwal honored him by visiting the English court in 927, 928, and 937. On the first of these visits, he signed charters agreeing to campaign with Æthelstan against the Scots and marched along with Hywel Dda of Deheubarth and Morgan ab Owain of Gwent against Eógan I of Strathclyde that year. Eógan was forced to submit to the English king and appear at court by Christmas. Æethelstan died in 939 and was replaced by his half-brother Edmund. In 942 Idwal, apparently fearing that the Saxons would support Hywel in usurping him, launched an attack on the Saxons in Wales along with his brother Elisedd. The Annales Cambriæ record his failure: "Idwal and his brother Elisedd are killed in battle against the Saxons". The throne of Gwynedd should have passed to Idwal's sons Iago and Ieuaf, but Hywel invaded and drove them from the kingdom. He ruled eight years before they were able to return and reclaim their patrimony.
