Note
|
Lord of Abergavenny, he was detested by the Welsh who called him Gwilym Ddu (Black William). He succeeded his father in his various Lordships in 1227, including Abergavenny and Builth. Captured by Llywelyn the Great , Leader of most of Wales, in fighting in the commote of Ceri near Montgomery, in 1228, he was Ransomed for £2,000 and then made an alliance with Llywelyn, arranging to marry his daughter Isabella to Llywelyn'sonly legitimate son Dafydd ap Llywelyn. However on a visit to Llywelyn during Easter 1230 William was found in Llywelyn's bedchamber with Llywelyn's wife, Joan, Lady of Wales. Llywelyn had William publicly hanged on May 2, 1230 in the Marshland at the foot of the royal home Garth Celyn, Aber Garth Celyn, the spot remembered as Gwern y Grog, 'Hanging Marsh'. |
