Research Notes

• Can find no reference to the death at the hands of Gruffydd ab Llewelyn
• Can find no reference to Gruffydd ab Llewelyn of theis era.
• Details of him and his life can be found in Boyer^[1], which suggest that the English thought him such a threat that it was decreed he must die "and his head was brought to Gloucester on Twelth-day eve.". However, it is also said that he governed vigourously until he fell in battle against the Danes in 1035.^[2]
