Notes for Hywel “Dda” ap Cadell
116General:
Hywel the Good, chieftain called in the prologues to the Welsh lawbooks "King of all Wales." This epithet was indeed appropriate for Howel, particularly during the last years of his reign. He became ruler of Seisyllwg (roughly the area of Dyfed and the Towy Valley) jointly with his brother after the death of their father. But after Clydog's death he ruled alone. Sovereignty over Dyfed in southwest Wales came to him through his wife; he acquired Gwynedd, in northwest Wales, on the death of his cousin Idwal Foel ap Anarawd, in 942. Howel's reign was remarkable for its peacefulness, the result of his consistent policy of subservience to England. Howel's first recorded act is his homage to Edward the Elder in 918. Thereafter he often attended the English court, and his name is found as a witness to 12 charters of Athelstan and Edred between 928 and 949. Howel was the only Welsh ruler to issue his own coins. He is remembered chiefly for the codification of Welsh law attributed to him. Although there is no contemporary record of his work, Howel was certainly responsible for a coordination of preexisting law. There are biographies by J. E. Lloyd (1928) and J. G. Edwards (1929).
