Charles was the youngest son of Louis I, the Emperor of Germany and the Holy Roman Empire whose territories included France. When Louis died in 840, his three sons fought over how the empire would be divided among them. The empire (which had come from his father Charlemegne) was divided according to the Treaty of Verdun in 843 and Charles received the western part of the empire thus becoming the first to rule France as a separate kingdom.
Charles had many battles on many sides to fight. He was besieged by the constant raiding of the Norsemen (called Normans in France) who he bribed so they would leave. The Bretons revolted against him and even Charles' own half-brothers and their sons fought against him. Louis, "The German", one of Charles' half-brothers, fought him for control of Lotharingia and finally forced Charles to share it. However, Charles was able to outsmart Louis and won control of Italy and the Roman Empire.
When Charles' nephew, Lothair II, died, Louis and Charles seized control of his lands and split it between them in the Treaty of Meersen in 870.
In 875, after the death of another nephew, Emperor Louis II, Charles was crowned Holy Roman Emperor on December 25th by Pope John VIII. A year later, Louis "The German" died and Charles invaded Germany but he was defeated by Louis' son, Louis "The Younger". Charles attacked Italy in 877 but was forced to retreat in order to attend to other rebellions and uprisings. He died on his way home from Italy.

(1) Sir Ralph Basset, Lord Basset of Sapcote, d. 17 July 1378, issue; m. (2) Sir Robert Tochet, no issue; m. (3) Sir Anketil Mallory, Knight, of Kirkby Mallory, co. Leics, d. 26 Mar 1393 (Order of 1st two marriages uncertain). [Ancestral Roots]

Note: Even if the 1st two marriages were reversed, Sir Ralph Basset didn't die until 1378, and Alice had Sir William, b. c 1375 with Anketil Mallory. It doesn't quite make sense. Probably her son William wasn't born until after 1380.

Note: Paul C. Reed, in a posting to soc.genealogy.medieval 25 Jan 2002, states that the order is reversed for the 1st two marriages: (1) Robert Tuchet, (2) Ralph Basset, (3) Anketil Mallory.

---------------------------------------

He [Ralph Basset] married, 2ndly, Alice, daughter of John DERBY. He died s.p.m., 17 July 1378, when the Barony fell (according to modern doctrine) into abeyance between his two daughters and coheirs. Will, as Ralph Basset, knight, Lord of Sapcote, directing his burial to be at Castle Bytham, dated there the Monday after the Ascension I I May 1377, proved at Lincoln. His widow, who married Sir Robert TUCHET, and afterwards Sir Anketine MALLORY, died a widow, 12 October 1412, and was buried at Stamford, near her last husband.

2116 Alice de Warenne, Countess of Arundel (15 June 1287 – 23 May 1338) was an English noblewoman and heir apparent to the Earldom of Surrey. In 1305, she married Edmund FitzAlan, 9th Earl of Arundel.

Family
Alice, the only daughter of William de Warenne (1256-1286) and Joan de Vere, was born on 15 June 1287 in Warren, Sussex, six months after her father was accidentally killed in a tournament on 15 December 1286. On the death of her paternal grandfather, John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey in 1304, her only sibling John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey succeeded to the earldom. He became estranged from his childless wife and they never reconciled, leaving Alice as the heir presumptive to the Surrey estates and title.

Marriage to the Earl of Arundel
In 1305, Alice married Edmund Fitzalan, 9th Earl of Arundel, the son of Richard Fitzalan, 8th Earl of Arundel and Alice of Saluzzo. He had initially refused her, for reasons which were not recorded; however, by 1305, he had changed his mind and they were wed. They had nine recorded children, and their chief residence was Arundel Castle in Sussex. Arundel inherited his title on 9 March 1302 upon his father's death. He was summoned to Parliament as Lord Arundel in 1306, and was later one of the Lords Ordainers. He also took part in the Scottish wars.

The Earl of Arundel and his brother-in-law John de Warenne were the only nobles who remained loyal to King Edward II, after Queen Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March returned to England in 1326. He had allied himself to the King's favourite Hugh le Despenser, and agreed to the marriage of his son to Despenser's granddaughter. Arundel had previously been granted many of the traitor Mortimer's forfeited estates, and was appointed Justice of Wales in 1322 and Warden of the Welsh Marches in 1325. He was also made Constable of Montgomery Castle which became his principal base.

The Earl of Arundel was captured in Shropshire by the Queen's party. On 17 November 1326 in Hereford, Arundel was beheaded by order of the Queen, leaving Alice de Warenne a widow. Her husband's estates and titles were forfeited to the Crown following Arundel's execution, but later restored to her eldest son, Richard.

Alice died before 23 May 1338, aged 50. Her brother died in 1347 without legitimate issue, thus the title of Surrey eventually passed to Alice's son, Richard.

2117 Alice is her name. We have proved she was not a Batt and other various surnames. Why? Because they belong to other documented people. Please resist the temptation to enter an unsubstantiated maid name, even if you think it is correct, in which case, please present verifiable proof. Thank you. SANGER, Alice (I594766941)
 
2118 Alice le Rus, widow of Richard Longespee, died shortly before 28 Jan 1300/1, daughter and heir of William le Rus of Stinton, Norfolk by Agatha (dsp shortly before 27 Dec 1261), daughter and heir of Roger de Clere of Brumlegh, Surrey and Ludborough, Lincoln. [Magna Charta Sureties]

Note: I am not sure how to read the above. MCS cannot mean that Agatha "dsp" because in the same statement she is said to have a daughter (Alice) by her husband William le Rus.

----------------------------

He [Richard de Breuse] married, before 9 September 1265 Alice, widow of Richard LUNGESPEYE (who died s.p. shortly before 27 Dec. 1261, and daughter and heir of William LE Rus, of Stinton, Norfolk, Akenham and Whittingham, Suffolk, by Agatha. daughter and heir of Roger DE CLERE, of Bramley, Surrey, and Ludborough, co. Lincoln. She was born 25 December 1245 or 1247, or 1 January 1245/6. He died before 18 June 1292. His widow died shortly before 28 January 1300/1. They were buried in Woodbridge Priory.

RUS, Alice Le Heiress Of Stinton (I13192)
 
2119 Alice of Saluzzo, Countess of Arundel (died 25 September 1292), also known as Alesia di Saluzzo, was an Italian-born noblewoman and an English countess. She was a daughter of Thomas I of Saluzzo, and the wife of Richard Fitzalan, 8th Earl of Arundel. She assumed the title of Countess of Arundel in 1289.

Family
Alesia was born on an unknown date in Saluzzo (present-day Province of Cuneo, Piedmont); the second eldest daughter of Thomas I, 4th Margrave of Saluzzo, and Luigia di Ceva (died 22 August 1291/1293), daughter of Giorgio, Marquis of Ceva and Menzia d'Este. Alesia had fifteen siblings. Her father was a very wealthy and cultured nobleman under whose rule Saluzzo achieved a prosperity, freedom, and greatness it had never known previously.

Marriage and issue
Sometime before 1285, Alice married Richard Fitzalan, feudal Lord of Clun and Oswestry in the Welsh Marches, the son of John Fitzalan, 7th Earl of Arundel and Isabella Mortimer. Richard would succeed to the title of Earl of Arundel in 1289, thus making Alice the 8th Countess of Arundel. Along with her aunt, Alasia of Saluzzo who married Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract in 1247, Alice was one of the first Italian women to marry into an English noble family. Her marriage had been arranged by the late King Henry III's widowed Queen consort Eleanor of Provence.

Richard and Alice's principal residence was Marlborough Castle in Wiltshire, but Richard also held Arundel Castle in Sussex and the castles of Clun and Oswestry in Shropshire. Her husband was knighted by King Edward I in 1289, and fought in the Welsh Wars (1288-1294), and later in the Scottish Wars. The marriage produced four children:

Edmund Fitzalan, 9th Earl of Arundel (1 May 1285- 17 November 1326 by execution), married Alice de Warenne, by whom he had issue.

1.) John Fitzalan, a priest

2.) Alice Fitzalan (died 7 September 1340), married Stephen de Segrave, 3rd Lord Segrave, by whom she had issue.

3.) Margaret Fitzalan, married William le Botiller, by whom she had issue.

4.) Eleanor Fitzalan, married Henry de Percy, 1st Baron Percy, by whom she had issue.

Alice died on 25 September 1292 and was buried in Haughmond Abbey, Shropshire. Her husband Richard died on 09/03/1301 and was buried alongside Alice. In 1341, provision was made for twelve candles to be burned beside their tombs. The Abbey is now a ruin as the result of a fire during the English Civil War. Her many descendants include pretty much everybody in the Western Hemisphere.

2120 Alice was the daughter of Sir Edmund Trafford. She married firstly Sir William Leyland and then Sir Urian Brereton and together they had a son Urian and daughters Margaret, Jane, Mary and Dorothy. This son Urian did not succeed to the title. TRAFFORD, Lady Alice (I594766345)
 
2121 Alice [Waleran's] Daughter (by Alice his last Wife) became the Wife of William Manduit of Hanstape in Com. Buck. having for her marriage portion, the Mannor of Wauton, (since called Wauton-Manduit) in com. Warr. but being married very young, continued in the custody of her Mother for some time after Espousals.

2122 Alice, d. 1475, widow of Sir John Philip & dau. & heir of Thomas Chaucer, Chief Butler to Richard II & Henry IV, speaker of the House of Commons, probably son of Geoffrey Chaucer, English poet, brother-in-law of John of Gaunt. [Ancestral Roots]

-------------------------------

He [William de la Pole] married (licence 11 November 1430) Alice, the childless widow of Thomas (MONTAGU), 4th EARL OF SALISBURY (died 3 November 1428), and before that of Sir John PHILIP (died 2 October 1415), only child and (in 1434) heir of Thomas CHAUCER, of Ewelme, Oxon, Speaker of the House of Commons (son and heir of Geoffrey CHAUCER, the poet), by Maud, daughter and coheir of John DE BURGHERSH [LORD KERDESTON] of Ewelme. While leaving England in accordance with the King's sentence, his ship was intercepted by the Nicholas of the Tower in Dover Roads, 1 May, and he was murdered there, 2 May 1450, his head being cut off in an open boat, aged 53. His body was thrown upon the beach near Dover and was buried at Wingfield. After his death, although he was never under attainder, the Earldom of Pembroke seems to have lapsed. His widow, who was born about 1404, died 20 May (or possibly 9 June) 1475, and was buried at Ewelme. M.I. [Complete Peerage XII/1:443-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] 
CHAUCER, Alice (I13124)
 
2123 Alice, heiress of Stafford Earls of Devon, dead by 24 Apr 1448, widow of Sir Henry Cheyney, Knight, and daughter of Sir Humphrey Stafford. [Ancestral Roots]

Note: Alice was widow of Edmond, not Henry Cheyney - see notes from Doug Gentile below.

Note: Burke's Peerage, p. 832, on the history of the Earldom of Devon, states "Subsequently a member of the Stafford family who were for a while Dukes of Buckingham (see Stafford, Baron) was created Earl of Devon in 1469 by Edward IV. On joining an uprising in the North of England, however, he was executed later the same year, having held the title exactly three months." This is the only Stafford Earl of Devon (the rest were almost all Courtenay family), which makes the "Earls" plural in the above citation from AR a little bit of an exageration. On p. 2680, Stafford, Baron, Burke's lists Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham, b. 15 Aug 1402 (too late to be Alice's father), d. 10 July 1460. There were no Humphrey's listed before him and no one was listed who was Earl of Devon or died in 1469 (It is very small text with the 1st Duke's family going on for 2 long pages, and I have been known to miss things, but I did search thoroughly). Who the Humphrey cited above is or his relationship to the "Stafford Earls of Devon" or Dukes of Buckingham or Earls/Barons of Stafford is a mystery.

Subsequent Note: According to Doug Gentile, soc.genealogy.medieval newsgroup, in a 20 Oct 1999 posting, Humphrey's ancestry is:

1. Humphrey Stafford of Hooke, Knight, c1380-27 May 1442; m. Oct 1397
....Elizabeth Mautravers d, c1426, daughter & heir of Sir John Mautravers of Hooke. (I spell it Maltravers)

2. Humphrey Stafford of Southwick in North Bradley, Wiltshire, Knight, c1343-15 Oct 1413; m1. c1365
3. Alice Greville, b. c1345, daughter & heir of Sir John Greville of Southwick in North Bradley, Knight.
....m2. 1386-8, Elizabeth d'Aumarle, 2nd daughter & coheir of Sir William d'Aumarle of Woodbury, Knight

4. Sir John Stafford of Bramshall, Knight, c1302-c Aug 1373, m1. c1327
....Elizabeth Somerville, c1320-1341, daughter and coheir of Sir Philip Somerville of Wychnor, c1278-1355
5. m2. c1342 Margaret Stafford, daughter of Ralph Stafford, 1st Earl Stafford, 1301-1372.

Note: Doug Gentile states that Alice had children by Edmund (NOT Henry) Cheyney of Brook in Westbury, Knight, 1401-1430; and that she was the de facto eventual heiress of Humphrey, even though he had 4 sons and 2 daughters. One of the sons, William, had a son Humphrey, who became Earl of Devon 7 May 1469. but dsp. 
STAFFORD, Alice Heiress Of Hook & Southwick (I13443)
 
2124 Alice, most likely, was a daughter of the West family that lived in Shirley Hundred Plantation in Charles City County, Va. Thomas Harris and his new wife, with his children by his first marriage, moved about 1650 across the James River to the Pagan Creek area of Isle of Wight County, Va. This area has been referred to as a part of the great dismal swamp.
After the death of Thomas, Alice West Harris married John Sojourner of Virginia in 1673.
RE: The prenuptial agreement between Alice Harris (the widow of Thomas Harris who was born in England in 1614 and died in Virginia in 1672), and her intended 2nd husband, John Sojornour.
This document is important because of the information the widow of Thomas Harris gave about the children she had borne to the deceased Thomas Harris. This document and its contents, together with the information contained in the will of 1672 of Thomas Harris, were quite important in proving that the deceased Thomas Harris had, indeed, had more than one wife and that he had fathered two sons by the name of Thomas Harris - one by his last wife and one by an earlier wife.

2127 Alisa and James were first cousins. Regarding the spelling of her first name, written by Ralpha Whipple, of the Kitterman Family Association. "This is where there is confusion. There are two land records where she signed her X, (obviously, she couldn't write or say the correct spelling of her name). One has her X where the spelling is 'Alvisa' and the other by the spelling of 'Alisa'. I requested her birth record out of NC in 1988 and the lady wrote and said that the book wouldn't open wide enough to copy, but that the entry was short. It was spelled 'Alisa'. Get this...the Polk County, Oregon census lists her as 'Alvira'!

I have not proved these out, the information should be checked again by you. Most of the Chitwood's came from Melissa Bank genealogy list.

Bleddyn Cynfyn ruled Powys 1063-1075

_____________________
From http://homepages.tesco.net/~plk33/plk33/History/KingListBritain:

By 1063, Blethyn (Bleddyn) rules a mostly united Wales, and Powys is detached from Gwynedd & Deheubarth for, or by, his son.

_____________________

Bleddyn and his brother Rhiwallon were half-brothers of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn. Their mother, Angharad, married Cynfyn ap Gwerstan o the death of Llywelyn ap Seisyll. Cynfyn ap Bwerstan may have been a Powys nobleman; there is also some suggestion that he may have been half Saxon. Bleddyn remained a strong supporter of the Mercians in their battles against the Normans.

Bleddyn and Rhiwallon also had to contend with internal revolution. The sons of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, Maredudd and Idwal, attempted to reestablish their claim to the throne. However, they were also killed in the Battle of Mechain in 1070; Bleddyn now ruled without internal challenge.

He is reported to having been a generous king, giving to church and populous. He was the first king in over 100 years to revise the laws developed under Hywel Dda.

Unfortunately, in 1073, the Normans began their advance through north Wales, and defeated Bleddyn in a surprise attack. Weakened, he became vurnerable to his southern neighbor, Rhys ab Owain of Deheubarth. In 1075, Rhys betrayed Bleddyn, leading to his murder. However, Bleddyn's descendents became the main ruling family of Powys. [The Welsh Kings]

_______________________

During the later years of the reign of his half-brother, Gruffyd, the English had brought Wales into at least nominal subjection. Gruffyd was killed by the English 5 Aug 1063. Bleddyn and his brother Rhiwallon, having submitted to King Edward, were made rules of Gwynedd and Powys. The Normans who came with William the Conqueror soon encroached upon the Welsh who resisted them and Rhiwallon was slain in battle in 1070. Bleddyn was then the sole Ruler. [The Weaver Genealogy]

___________________________

In 1075, Bleddyn was killed by Rhys, the brother of Maredudd ab Owain, and Rhys in turn was likeed in 1078 by Caradog ap Gruffudd. Bleddyn's kingdom passed to his cousin, Trahaearn ap Caradog, but Trahaearn was killed, along with Caradog ap Gruffudd, in the battle of Mynydd Carn in 1081. [A History of Wales; John Davies] 
CYNFYN, Bleddyn "Sais" Ap Prince Of Powys (I2733)
 
2147 All of the following information came from Jane Williams Flank, World Connect db=jwflank, rootsweb.com:

Cadwgan (d 1112), a Welsh prince, was a son of Bleddyn, who was the son of Cynfyn, and the near kinsman of the famous Gruffudd, son of Llewelyn, on whose death Harold appointed Bleddyn and his brother Rhiwallon kings of the Welsh. This settlement did not last very long, but Bleddyn retained to his death possession of a great part of Gwynedd., and handed his territories down to his sons, of whom, besides Cadwgan, four others, Madog, Rhirid, Maredudd, and Iorwerth, are mentioned in the chronicles. Cadwgan's name first appears in history in 1087, when, in conjunction with Madog and Rhirid, he led a North Welsh army against Rhys, son of Tewdwr, king of South Wales. The victory fell to the brothers, and Rhys retreated to Ireland, whence he soon returned with a Danish fleet, and turned the tables on his foes in the battle of Llechryd. Cadwgan escaped with his life, but his two brothers were slain. Six years later Rhys was slain by the Norman conquerors of Brecheiniog (1093), and Cadwgan availed himself of the confusion caused by the catastrophe of the only strong Welsh state in South Wales to renew his attacks on Deheubarth. His inroad on Dyved in May prepared the way for the French conquest of that region, which took place within two months, despite the unavailing struggles of Cadwgan and his family. But the Norman conquest of Ceredigion and Dyved excited the bitterest resistance of the Welsh, who profited by William Rufus' absence in Normandy in 1094 to make a great attack on their newly built castles. Cadwganl now in close league with Gruffudd, son of Cynan, the chief king of Gwynedd, was foremost among the revolters. Besides demolishing their castles in Gwynedd, the allied princes penetrated into Ceredigion and Dyved, and won a great victory in the wood of Yspwys, which was followed by a devestation foray whcih overran the shires of Hereford, Gloucester, and Worcester. But, as Mr Freeman points out, Cadwgan fought in the interest of Gwynedd rather that of Wales. His capture of the castles of Ceredigion was followed by the wholesale transplantation of the inhabitants, their property, and cattle into North Wales. A little later Cadwgan's family joined in forays that penetrated to the walls of Pembroke, the only stronghold, except Rhyd y Gors, now left to the Frenchmen. Two invasions of Rufus himself were needed to repair the damage, but the great expedition of 1097 was a signal failure. Rufus 'mickle lost in men and horses,' and Cadwgan was distinguished as the worthiest of the chieftains of the victorious Cymry in the pages of the Peterborough chronicler, who in his distant fenland monastery commonly knew little of the names of Welsh kings. Such successes emboldened Cadwgan and his ally Gruffudd to attempt to save Anglesea when threatened in 1099 by the two earls Hugh of Chester and Shrewsbury. But the treachery of their own men - either the nobles of Mona or some of their Irish-Danish allies - drove both kings to seek safety in flight in Ireland. Next year they returned to Wales, and made peace with the border earls. Cadwgan became the man of the Earl of Shrewsbury, and received as a feif from his Ceredigion and part of Powys. In 1102 Robert of Belleme called upon Cadwgan and his brothers Iorwerth and Maredudd for help in his great war against Henry I. Great gifts of lands, horses, and arms persuaded Cadwgan and Maredudd to join Robert in Shropshire, but Iorwerth stayed behind, and his sudden defection is regarded by the Welsh chroniclers as a main cause of Robert's fall. Iorwerth now appears to have endeavoured to dispossess Cadwgan and Maredudd of their lands a supporters of the fallen Earl of Shrewsbury. But though he succeeded in putting Maredudd into a royal dungeon, he made peace with Cadwgan and restored him his old territories. Thus Cadwgan escaped sharing in the disgrace and imprisonment of Iorwerth by Bishop Richard of Belmeis, Henry's steward in Shropshire. It is probable that it was some other Cadwgan who became an accomplice in the murder of Howel, son of Goronwy, in 1103, and the Owain son of Cadwgan, slain in the same year, was probably this unknown Cadwgan's son. Anyhow Cadwgan, son of Bleddyn, had a son Owain, who in 1105 began his turbulent career by two murders, and in 1110 was the hero of a more famous adventure. Cadwgan had given a great feast in his castle of Aberteiv, the modern Cardigan, which was largely attended by chieftains from all parts of Wales, for whose entertainment bards, singers, and musicians were attracted to the rejoicings by costly prizes. Among the guests were Gerald of Windsor, who after the fall of Arnulf of Montgomery was the most powerful man among the French in Dyved, and his famous wife Nest, whos beauty so excited Owain's lust that not long after he took advantage of his father's absence in Powys to carry her off by violence from the neighbouring castle of Cenarth Bychan. The rape of the Welsh Helen excited great commotion, and Cadwgan, hurrying back in great anxiety to Ceredigion, found himself powerless to effect her restoration to Gerald. Ithel and Madog, sons of Rhirid,a nd Cadwgan's nephews, were incited by Richard of Belmeis to attack Owain, and even Cadwgan, who fled to an Irish merchant ship in the harbour of Aberdovey, After running all kinds of dangers, Owain escaped to Ireland, while Cadwgan privately retired to Powys. Thence he sent messengers to Bishop Richard. King Henry's lenient treatment of him showed that the king regarded Owain's crime as no fault of his father. For a while Cadwgan was only suffered to live on a manor of his new wife, a Norman lady, daughter of Pictet Sage, but a fine of 100 £ and a promise to abandon Owain effected his restoration to Ceredigion, which in his absence had been seized by Madog and Ithel. But the fiat of the English king could effect little in Ceredigion. Owain continued his predatory attacks on the French and Flemings, in one of which a certain William of Brabant was slain. In anger Henry sent again for the weak or impotent Cadwgan, and angrily told him that he was unable to protect his territory, he had determined to put Ceredigion into more competent hands. A pension of twenty-four pence a day wa assigned to the deposed king on the conditon that he should remain in honourable restraint - he was not to be a prisioner - at the king's court, and never seek to return to his native soil. These terms Cadwgan was compelled to accept, and Gilbert, son of Richard, was invested with Ceredigion. But next year the murder of Iorwerth by his nephew Madog put Powys, which Iorwerth had lately governed, into the king's hands. He then gave it to Cadwgan, who thus once more acquired lands of his own. But Madog, already deprived of Ceredigion, was determined not to yield Powys as well to his uncle. Meanwhile Cadwgan, 'not imagining mischief,' returned to his dominions. Surrounded by Madog's retainers at Trallong Llewelyn, he as usual conducted himself weakly. Unable to fight, unwilling to flee, he fell an easy victim to hs enemies. 'Knowing the manners of the people of that country, that they would all be killing one another,' says the 'Brut y Tywysogion,' Richard, the steward, gave Cadwgan's lands to Madog, his murderer. But Henry I reversed his act and made Owain, the abductor of Nest, his father's successor. [Dictionary of National Biography III:644-6]



After the death of Bleddyn, his sons, Madog, Cadwgan and Rhiryd ruled over Powys. In 1098 they attacked Rhys ap Tewdwr, ruler of Deheubarth, and drove him into exile. He collected a fleet, returned and gave battle to them in which Madog and Rhiryd were slain. Cadwgan then became sole ruler of Powys. In 1094 he rallied the Welsh chieftains and attempted to throw off the Norman yoke. The Brut Tywysogion states that they "placed their hope in God, the creator of all things, by fasting and praying and giving alms and undergoing severe bodily penances." He was very sucessful and by 1098 had recovered nearly all the territory that had belonged to the Cymri before the Conquest. In that year the tide turned. Cadwgan and his allies were defeated and he fled to Ireland. He returned in 1099, made peace with the NOrmans and receifed Credigion and a part of Powys. He is said to have been amiable, but he lacked the stronger elements of character which the situation required. On account of the misdees of his eldest son Owain he was called before King Henry, dispossessed of his lands and placed on a daily pension of twenty-four pence on condition that he should not set foot on his native soil. He soon came to terms with the king "and was allowed to settle in the border vill which he had received as the dowry of his Norman wife" (Lloyd). This was doubtless in the valley of the Clun in Shropshire where the lands of Lord Robert de Sai were located and near the Welsh border. King Henry restored to him the Kingdom of Powys in 1111, but his reign was brief, for in that year he was slain at Welshpool by his nephew, Madog ap Rhizyd. The "border vill" or village, mentioned above, where Cadwgan settled, must have been located quite near if not entirely within the English limits of Offa's Dike. This would be a very uncomfortable location for a Welsh family at that time. Perhaps his Norman wife saved the family from trouble. He is called "Cadwgan of Nannau" in Dwnn's Visitation of Wales. That place has not been located, but probably it was the "border vill' or village in Shropshire which he received as dowry from his father-in-law, Lord Robert de Sai. [The Weaver Genealogy]

__________________________________

Cadwgan became king of Powys on the death of his elder brothers, Madog and Rhiryd in 1088. Cadwgan lived in a period when the Norman border earls, with the authority of Kind William II (William Rufus), were consolidating their control over Wales. In addition, there were the continuing rivalries between the Welsh princes and nobility which had become a way of life and prevented unified actions. Further complicating matters, many of the the Welsh princes establishied alliances with the English, either out of necessity or self interest. "From 1094 dow through his death in 1111, this king from Powys would be the focus and centre of Welsh politics, pursuing a policy of considered and sometimes devious resistance to the Norman kings while attempting to exploit the growing power of the Norman border lords."

In 1094, there was an uprising against the Nomans in Gwynedd, "almost certainly masterminded by Cadwgan." Norman attempts to quell the uprising failed, and it spread to Deheubarth where all but Pembroke Castle and Rhyd-y-Gors fell to the Welsh, and continued into the southeast of Wales. The rebellion continued through 1097 - almost all fo the leaders appear to have been allied with Cadwgan. By 1098, however, internal rivalries, bribery, and Norman strenght had takedn much of the force out of the rebellion. In 1099, formal peace was negotiated including rights to hold certain lands - Cadwgan seems to have gotten the better share, including all of central Powys and Ceredigion, much of which had been previously controlled by the Norman earls.

Unfortunately, Cadwgan was unable to use his success to fully consolidate his power. He, at a minimum, was distracted by family conflicts. Relations between the brothers Cadwgan, Iorweth and Maredudd deteriorated.

His son, Owain, also makes fro an interesting story, which had significant effects on Cadwgan's rule. Owain's story leads, indirectly, to the murder of Iorweth by his nephew Madog ap Rhirid, Cadwgan's murder also by Madog, and the subsequent rule by Maredudd.

______________________________________

In consequence, by the death of William II (William Rufus) in 1100, Welsh control had been sucessfully restored over the greater part of Wales. It is doubtful whether the insurrection which led to that restoration should be considered national in character, for it was largely motivated by local issues, racial anger and the interests of royal houses; without its comparative success, however, it is likely that Welsh nationhood could have survived in any form. The most prominent of the leaders of the insurrection were Cadwgan, Iorwerth and Maredudd, the sons of Bleddyn ap Cynfin. By 1096, they had captured Montgomery Castle and their allies had come very close to success in their attack upon Pembroke Castle. The Normans were swept out of Gwynedd, Credigion and most of the cantrefi of Powys, and their forces were defeated in Brycheiniog, Gwent, Cydweli and Gower. In about 1094, Gruffud ap Cynan escaped from prision and re-established himself as the ruler of the kingdom of his ancestors. In 1098, the earls of Chester and Shrewsbury led a campaign against him, but they were defeated on the banks of the Menai by a force of Scandinavians, and the earl of Shrewsbury was shot dead by Magnus Barefoot, king of Norway. Gruffudd consolidated his hold upon Gwyneed, and for decades he patiently rebuilt the strenght of his kingdom. Powys and what was left of the kingdom of Deheubarth came into the possession of Cadwgan ap Bleddyn and his brothers. All the later rulers of Powys would be descendants of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn; thus was the union between Gwynedd and Powys broken, a happening full of significance for the future of Wales.

Little is known of Cynfyn. His fame, like that of many of his descendants, was only the reflection of the fame of his distinguished wife. There is no evidence that he ever attempted to rule in the right of his wife as did her first husband. The sons of Cynfyn and Angharad were Bleddyn and Rhiwallon. The pedigree of Cynfyn which appears in Vol 1, p 63 of the Historical Manuscripts Commission, London, 1898, extends back through twenty-two generations to Beli Mawr and Anna through their son Llud. Prof Lloyd thinks that it is mythical. It is certainly incomplete. It would require many more thatn twenty-two generation to cover the period of more than one thousand years. In the History of Radnorshire it is stated that Cynfyn was the son of Gwerstan and the grandson of Gwaethfoed Fawr. [The Weave Genealogy]
