Everything about Idwal Foel totally explained
Idwal Foel ap Anarawd (Idwal the Bald) (died
942) was a King of
Gwynedd, also called
King of the Britons by
William of Malmesbury.
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 Howell's death in
950, Idwal's sons were able to claim the kingdom.
