He and his brother succeeded their uncle, David ap Griffith, in 124G : in 1254 they quarreled and Llewellyn, conquering his brother, became sole ruler. He revolted from his allegiance to the English in 1250. and joined with the party of ilontfort, but made peace with Henrj- III. in 1267. On the accession of Edward I. he refused to do homage. Edward summoned him both in 1274 and 127G, but he refused to appear. His wife, Eleanor de Montfort. was captured by the English in 1275, and his offers of a ransom for her were declined and war was declared against him in the fol- lowing year. The English invaded his territory, and in 1277 he surrendered most of his domains and went to London, while Eleanor was given back to him. He soon returned to Wales, and, after being reconciled to his brother David, re- newed the war with the English, by a sudden revolt on Palm Sunday, 1282; he was slain De- cember 11 of the same year.
