King of Wales from 1246, he was the grandson of Llewellyn I. He united Wales by 1250. He was an ally of Simon de Montfort the younger. Llewellyn used the weak rule of Henry III to his advantage, supporting the rebel barons led by de Montfort and later even Gloucester’s revolt in 1267.
In 1270 he invaded Glamorgan but Edward I was determined that he would crush Llewellyn once and for all, he led an army to take back Shropshire in 1276 and pinned Llewellyn back into Snowdonia. Llewellyn at first succeeded at harassing Edwards armies but the size of the army and Edwards use of fortifications soon narrowed Llewellyn’s options.
He managed to breakout into South Wales but was forced into a battle with Edwards large army at Radnor where he was outmanoeuvred. He was killed during this battle in 1282.

Llewellyn ap Iorworth was ruler of Gwynedd in North Wales from 1201 to 1240. He conquered Powys and Ceredigion in 1208. He survived an invasion from 1211 to 1212 by King John of England and benefited greatly from the Barons’ War of 1215 to 1217 by capturing Swansea.
His reign was sustained by a combination of both military and diplomatic means. He married Joan the illegitimate daughter of King John in 1205 and allied with the Earl of Chester Ranulf, on his north-eastern flank.
After English King John died unexpectedly in 1216 from a fever in Newark, Henry III takes the thrown. During the early reign of Henry III several attacks by the English armies are repelled.
Joan died in 1237 and Llewellyn himself died in 1240, leaving behind the legacy of winning Welsh independence from both the English kings and the Marcher lords.

Today I did a couple of minor updates to the HOF, inactive items now show little icons of the items in their inventory. If you hover you mouse over you will see how many of each item they have, they are the top 10 items the inactives have in their inventory.
Also it now tells you how long the inactive has to come out of hospital or recovery.
