Overview
Dafydd ap Gruffudd was Prince of Gwynedd and Prince of Wales from the death of his brother Llywelyn ap Gruffudd on 11 December 1282 until his capture on 22 June 1283. He became a fugitive after waging war against the English occupation of Wales, but was captured, and then hanged, drawn and quartered on 3 October 1283, which were on the orders of King Edward I of England. He was the last native Prince of Wales before the conquest of Wales by Edward I in 1283.
