Notes par Idwal Foel ap Anarawd

Idwal Foel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Idwal Foel ap Anarawd (Idwal the Bald) (died 942) was a King of Gwynedd, referred to as King of the Britons by William of Malmesbury, in whose Gesta Regum Anglorum his name is spelled Judwalum in the original Latin (anglicized Jothwel). In the Annales Cambriae, his name is spelled Iudgual.
Idwal inherited the throne of Gwynedd on the death of his father, Anarawd ap Rhodri in 916. He was obliged to acknowledge Athelstan of England as overlord. Following the death of Athelstan, Idwal and his brother Elisedd took to arms against the English, but both were killed in battle in 942. The rule of Gwynedd should now have passed to his sons, Iago ab Idwal and Idwal, usually called Ieuaf ab Idwal. However Hywel Dda, already ruler of most of south Wales, invaded Gwynedd and forced them into exile, adding Gwynedd to his realm. After Hywel's death in 950, Idwal's sons were able to claim the kingdom.

Hywel was now about to reach the zenith of his career and to become, as he is termed in the codes, "by the grace of God ruler of all Wales".62 This was a position he certainly did not hold during the life of Idwal Foel ab Anarawd, for the evidence makes it clear that Idwal and Hywel ruled North and South Wales respectively under the overlordship of Athelstan.63 But
in 942 Idwal, never quite easy under the English supremacy, seems to have broken into revolt against the power of the new king Edmund; he and his brother Elisedd met the Saxon in battle and were both slain.64 In the natural course the sovereignty of Gwynedd should have passed to the sons of
Idwal, lago and Idwal, the latter often called Ieuaf (or "Junior") to distinguish him from his father. Hywel, however, now appeared upon the scene, and, driving out the young heirs,65 made himself master of Gwynedd and, most probably, of Powys also. It is quite impossible to say whether there were good grounds, recognized as valid by Welsh public opinion, for this act of aggression; one may nevertheless conjecture that the revolution was favorably viewed by the English, and no attempt to reverse it was made while Hywel lived. Whether justified or not, it united Wales almost as completely as any recorded movement in its history. Morgannwg and Gwent
still retained their independence under the sons of Owain, Cadwgan and Morgan the Aged66 but this was a part of Wales which never, save for a few years under Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, entered into any wide-embracing Welsh realm.

62 "O rat Duw . . . brenhin Kymry oil" (Dim. i. 338). Cf. Lat. B. ii. 814 :
"Dei gratia atque providentia rex Howel . . . totius Wallie principatu praesidebat pacifice". All the texts of the laws emphasize in their prefaces the extent of his rule.
63 See the charters mentioned in the note at the end of this chapter and note 58 above.
64 "ludgual et filius eius elized a saxonibus occiduntur" (Harl. MS. 3859,
s.a. 943). The year was that which followed the death of Olaf Godfreyson,
shown by Irish records to have happened in 941. The MS. followed by Ann.
C. MS. B., and B.T. makes Idwal son of Rhodri, but the ordinary account,
contained in Jesus Coll. MS. 20, No. xxvi. {Cymr. vii. 88), is to be preferred as
better suiting the chronological data. As to Elisedd, 'filius" would seem to be
an early error of transcription for "frater," corrected in the older texts of B.T.
(but not in B. Sues.), which have "urawt" {Bruts, 261; B.T. p. 20); see
Dwnn, ii. 10, 16; Harl. MS. 3859, s.a. 946 ( ͌ 945)—"Cincenn filius elized
ueneno periit"; Carlisle, s.v. Hawarden ("Cynan ap Elis ap Anarawd").
65 "lago et leuaf, quos Howel e regno expulerat" [Ann. C. MS. C. p. 18,
n. 20). It was at this period of his life, no doubt, that Hywel issued the coin,
the only one known to have been struck for a Welsh prince, which is described by Mr. Carlyon-Britton in Trans. Cymr. 1905-6, 1-13.
66 Morgan Hen succeeded his father Owain ap Hywel (the "Uwen Wenta
cyning" of A.S. Chr. MS. D. s.a. 926) abt. 930 and long survived Hywel,
dying at a patriarchal age in 974. His brother Gruffydd, who was king of
Gower in 928 [Lib. Land. 239-40), was killed in 935 (or 934) by the men of
Ceredigion {Ann. C. MSS. B. C.; B.T. ; B. Saes.). The third brother,
Cadwgan, appears in Lib. Land. 224-5 as "Catguocaun rex filius Ouein" and
lord of the region of Margan abt. 940; his death in battle against the English
is recorded abt. 950 (Harl. MS. 3859; Ann. C. MS. B.; B.T.). "Caducon" may be the correct reading, instead of "Cadmon," in Cart. Sax. iii. 39, in which case Cadwgan, with his brother Morgan and Hywel Dda, was at the court of Edred in 949.
