The use of the title Prince of Wales/of the Welsh origionats with Owain Gwynedd of the Aberffraw dynasty in the early 12th century. After the battle on the Berwyn Mountains he was styles "princeps Wallensium, prince of the Welsh. After his death it was Lord Rhys of Deheubarth who used the title princeps Wallensium. Then, in 1116 at the council of Aberdyfi, after he won consessions out of the Magna Carta, Llywelyn the Great received fealty from all Welsh princes. Henry only recognized the new political reality.Drachenfyre 08:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I was under the impression that the Welsh flag (red dragon on green and white background) was only created in the 20th century - surely then it wasn't in use at the time of the Principality of Wales? AlbusUK 15:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Princes of Wales

I think that a brief overview of each of the Princes of Wales (according to the Welsh regnal list) should be given but no more than that, because they are covered in more detail on their own pages and we don't want the same information on multiple pages. May I suggest that the Llywelyn I (ap Iorwerth) section is edited to just a summary of a couple of paragraphs? James Frankcom (talk) 09:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
