The birth year of Llywelyn ap Dafydd is listed as 1260. However his mother is listed as Elisabeth Ferrers who was born 1250 and did not marry Dafydd ap Gruffudd untill past 1265. Either Llywelyn ap Dafydd was born later or his mother is not Elisabeth Ferrers.

De jure Prince

edit

The article refers to him as a de jure Prince, but my understanding of Welsh law is that Wales did not follow automatic primogeniture succession. Instead the ruling Prince or King designated an adult son as Edling or heir. Since all of Daffyd's sons were underage he would have to name a brother Edling until one of his sons reached adulthood and reclaimed the title. Emperor001 (talk) 20:11, 8 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
