By the middle of the 13th
century Richard de Clare
had expelled the Welsh rulers from the western
valleys of Glamorgan, as far as the Rhondda,
whilst leaving the rest undisturbed.
Richard de Clare was a leading member of the
reforming party of barons in England. King Henry III's personal style of government and his reliance on foreign
advisers had antagonized many of the barons who regarded the
royal policy as diminishing their own power and influence.
Llywelyn ap Gruffydd (d.1282), prince of Gwynedd, exploited this division and
dissension amongst the English. On Richard's death in 1262,
Llywelyn moved up the Usk valley, capturing the Brecon lands of
Humphrey de Bohun (guardian of the young de Clare heir), and
reaching the northern edge of Glamorgan. By 1267 Llywelyn had
become master of the greater part of modern Wales, except for the
southern coastal plain.
