David ap Llywelyn

(born c. 1208—died Feb. 25, 1246, Aber, Gynedd, Wales) Welsh prince, ruler of the state of Gwynedd in northern Wales (1240–46). His father, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, had made Gwynedd the centre of Welsh power. David, the rightful heir, fought his half brother for power and imprisoned him in 1239. He was forced to cede part of his territory to Henry III of England (1241) and later went to war against Henry. The first Welsh ruler to declare himself prince of Wales, he fell ill and died while the war was in progress.

The campaign to commemorate Dafydd ap Llywelyn has met with success on a heavenly scale.
This year's event includes a new competition, sponsored by the Dafydd ap Llywelyn Committee, formed at a public meeting at the Flintshire National Eisteddfod in 2007, the aim being to erect a monument to Dafydd in Flintshire.
The prize has been established by the Dafydd ap Llywelyn Committee, a voluntary, non-profit-making organisation with the aim of erecting a monument to Dafydd near his birthplace of Castell Hen Blas, Bagillt.
