520 The first popular account of the only king to rule all of
Wales as a single country Gruffudd ap Llywelyn was a
mighty king, yet 1,000 years after his birth he is all but
forgotten. In 1055 he led a great army into England,
burning Hereford and forcing King Edward the Confessor to
seek peace. Gruffudd united Wales and conquered border
land that had been in English hands for centuries, turning
the Viking threat into a powerful weapon. In 1063, however,
he was betrayed and beheaded by the forebears of the
princes who have entered history as Wales' national heroes,
leaving the country in chaos on the eve of the arrival of
the Normans. The death of the last king of Wales would
nevertheless also lead to the downfall at Hastings of
England’s last Anglo-Saxon king, Harold II.
