Thomas ap Rhodri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tomas ap Rhodri (c.1300 - 1363), de jure Prince of Gwynedd (c.1325 - 1363) was the only known son of Rhodri ap Gruffudd (the youngest son of Prince Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Fawr, and younger brother to both Llywelyn the Last and Dafydd ap Gruffydd. After the death of both Llywelyn and Dafydd, and of their rival eldest brother Owain Goch (they all perished between 1282 - 1283), Rhodri became the most senior member of the Aberffraw Dynasty to retain his liberty because he had sold his rights of succession to his brother Llywelyn in about 1270 before he had had any children of his own.

Tomas ap Rhodri - the son of Rhodri and his second wife - was born in exile in England sometime around 1300 and is thought to have died in 1363. He became the de jure Prince of Gwynedd after the death of his cousin Owain ap Dafydd at Bristol Castle sometime around 1325. Other details of his life are unknown, including any siblings he may have had. He did not make any claim himself, at least in public, to the throne of Gwynedd.

He was the father of Owain ap Tomas ap Rhodri ap Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Fawr - more commonly known as Owain Lawgoch - who proclaimed himself Prince of Wales and attempted to regain the throne of Gwynedd and of the Principality of Wales itself. He was assassinated in 1378.
