The following is a summary of the life and Death of the welsh warrior Gwenllian ferch Gruffydd, who led a revolt against the encroaching English host in Wales.
Gwenllian ferch Gruffydd was Born in 1100 on Ynys Môn, to Gruffudd ap Cynan, Prince of Gwynedd and his wife Angharad
She met the prince Gruffydd ap Rhys in 1113
They eloped and she joined his court as Princess Consort of Deheubarth
She had 3 children- two shortly after the eloping and 1 later on
Morgan born in 1116, Maelgwyn who was born three years later and Rhys, born in 1132
Deheubarth was under duress by English, Norman and Flemish forces gaining a foothold in the south of Wales.
She and her husband were forced into the mountains, and it is from there which they began to launch attacks against the encroaching invaders
As well as attacking the enemy, Gwenllian and Gruffydd also took money and possessions from the foreign forces and redistributed them to the native Welsh.
In 1135 King Henry I died. After his death a succession crisis emerged. In 1120 Henry’s rightful heir, his son, William Adelin had drowned in the White Ship disaster.
His daughter Matilda was next in line, but Stephen of Blois seized the throne- the ensuing in-fighting is known as The Anarchy
The Anarchy provided the Welsh an easy time recovering their lands from Marcher lords (that had been appointed by Henry)
The revolt began in South Wales when Hywel ap Mareduddd, Lord of Brycheiniog and his men successfully destroyed the Anglo-Norman forces led by Maurice de Londres, Lord of Kidwelly. The Battle of Llwchwr, also known as the Battle of Gower took place between Loughor and Swansea on New Year’s Day in 1136.
After this sound defeat, Gruffydd went to Gwynnedd to meet with Gruffudd to draw up plans to expel the Norman lords from Wales
Maurice retaliated against the Welsh with several lightning raids against Deheubarth while sending for reinforcements
Gwenliann knew from gathered intelligence that Norman ships had been sent along the Glamorgan coast, and so gathered a fighting force as quickly as possible
She had only a few hundred poorly armed welshman at her command and so decided the best course of action would be to launch guerrilla assaults on Norman ships and forces
She divided her force, sending half with the chieftain Gruffydd ap Llewellyn to assault the Norman ships, while she stayed hidden with the remaining forces to cut off Maurice’s supply chain
Gruffydd ap Llewellyn betrayed her, giving the Normans her position, and though this sealed her fate, she would not simply wait to die
Gwenllian and her two eldest sons readied for battle. Gwenllian led her army out of the forest to attack Maurice at Kidwelly Castle, but without the element of surprise, her forces were routed
When Gwenliann was knocked from her chariot, her eldest son Morgan died attempting to protect her
Her son Maelgwyn was captured and made to watch as the Norman forces beheaded her on the battlefield
With news of her death spreading, Welsh anger was rising, and those wishing to seek revenge would do so in the great revolt of 1136
her husband and her father retaliated and took on the enemy. Eventually the Prince of Deheubarth was able to reclaim his rightful land and power whilst his youngest son with Gwenllian became Lord Rhys, an important and famous Welsh ruler who went on to make his mark.
Gruffydd died a year later, of a broken heart many would say

Australian cricketer Michael Hogan wraps up his profession at 41 for Glamorgan within the County Championship
The primary response of most Australian cricket followers to the information that Michael Hogan is retiring this week is more likely to be: “I did not know he was nonetheless taking part in.”
Nevertheless, half a world away, an excellent profession is lastly coming to a detailed.
Michael Hogan
Age 41
2009-10 – 2015-16: WA
2011-12 – 2012-13: Hobart Hurricanes (Large Bash League)
2013-now: Glamorgan (County Championship)
2022: Southern Courageous (The Hundred)
First-class wickets: 680
Checklist A wickets: 118
T20 wickets: 132
Hogan final performed in Australia in 2016, seven years after he made an unbelievable debut for Western Australia on the age of 28 — unbelievable as a result of he was nonetheless taking part in for a pub XI in his early 20s, in between putting in phone cables.
He’s now 41 and has been taking part in for Welsh county cricket membership Glamorgan — who play within the English home cricket competitors — since 2013.
In that point, he has develop into embedded within the county, reaching cult standing and taking lots of of wickets.
On Tuesday, he took his 653rd wicket for the county.
The sufferer was Sussex opener Ali Orr, trapped in entrance as Hogan sought to sign-off by bowling Glamorgan to a promotion-sealing victory.
That Orr was lbw was paradoxically acceptable as a result of Hogan had accomplished a unprecedented profession document in Glamorgan’s first innings of 9-533 declared.
Batting at quantity 11, he didn’t come to the crease, which meant he maintained his document of by no means being dismissed leg earlier than in 380 matches.
This — as Nick Buddy of the Cricketer journal famous in a profile this week — is a world document.
Nevertheless, not batting did imply he fell one innings wanting a century of not outs — that is assuming Hogan doesn’t bat once more.
With Sussex 445 behind — and 9 wickets left in a rain-affected match through which two days stay — that appears possible, until rain or victory for promotion rivals Middlesex flip it right into a lifeless rubber and Glamorgan bat once more, and Hogan is jokily promoted for one final hurrah.
The New South Wales native got here to Wales by dint of a British passport, forgoing his likelihood of taking part in for Australia because of this.

It may need occurred: He was ok for Justin Langer to make use of him as an abroad participant for Western Australia in 2013-14, and took 36 wickets at 25.86.
However he has been very content material in Wales. His Australian-born youngsters speak with a Welsh accent — and may communicate the tongue-mangling Welsh language.
He took the successful wicket when Glamorgan received the home cup in 2021 and being summoned for a stint with Southern Courageous in England’s new-fangled Hundred thrash, at 40, was an surprising bonus.
Hogan started to take cricket significantly after his brother was killed in a automotive crash. He determined it was time to cease “losing” his expertise.
He has gone on to realize 930 profession dismissals, which is a formidable physique of labor: He actually did not waste his expertise.

If we're doing food discourse, then may I ask what's Welsh breakfast like? Because I'm German and the whole waffles/pancakes/bacon thing is miles away from anything I'd consider breakfast food, so now I'm curious what everyone else's standards are.
Interesting, okay so
It's not unheard of for pancakes to be breakfast here, but they're an indulgent breakfast, not an everyday thing. And not with bacon, although there are places that offer it these days.
The most common two breakfast options for everyday are cereal and milk, or toast. Toppings vary wildly, but I *think* Marmite is a particularly British one? I think I've heard non-Brits express surprise about it before. So, assuming that's true, you butter your toast and then you put on Marmite, which is a black paste made of yeast extract that has successfully run a campaign of many years about how you either love it or hate it, which is a very bold advertising gambit but certainly worked. Marmite makes an excellent vegetarian stock when used sparingly. You can flavour gravy with it. And yeah, we sometimes put it on toast.
I believe there are those who like Eggs. I do not so I can't say much more.
For more involved breakfast, there's the Cooked Breakfast, also sometimes known as the Full English. Various things get cooked for it, but sausage, bacon, egg, hash browns, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans and toast seem to be pretty standard. Black pudding used to, but it's fallen out of favour by now, because it's gross and also made of congealed blood.
Those are all largely pan-British, though - there are some Welsh-specific options, though they're all a bit niche. You tend to find them in independently owned cafes, generally. First up, laverbread!
Laver is the Wenglish name for the same seaweed the Japanese call nori, which I believe is used in sushi. Over here, and especially along the south coast, it was a breakfast staple for centuries. We would grind it and mix it with oats to make bara lawr (laverbread), a sort of oatcake or patty:
Those would be fried in bacon fat and served with more bacon. It's an acquired taste - I've tried it, and it's alright, but it's obviously a very salty dish. Some people don't bother with the oats and just fry off the laver to put on toast, which means eating salty slime and pretending to enjoy yourself.
In many coastal regions, these would also be served with cockles. Cockle fishing was a huge industry in Welsh coastal regions, and you can still get both laver and cockles very easily in coastal markets like Swansea - very low food miles, too, which is nice.
The Welsh variant on a cooked breakfast - the Full Welsh - is therefore a full English that features cockles and laverbread as well as sausage, bacon, egg etc.
Another option is Welsh rarebit, often with bacon. Usually for breakfast you make a milder version than a standard Welsh rarebit, which is very strong - instead you use a milder cheese, make it a bit mustardy, and serve with bacon/tomatoes/egg/mushrooms etc.
And finally, a Glamorgan sausage! Essentially I guess this is a veggie sausage - it's made of cheese, leek, butter and herbs, and rolled in breadcrumbs. Like with most of these you can of course have them for dinner too, but they are an acceptable veggie cooked breakfast.
But, as I say, the standard staple is cereal or toast.
