Gwenllian ferch Gruffydd is one of Cymru's greatest medieval figures and, certainly, one of our most important. As a warrior princess who died valiantly in battle in the year of 1136 against the Norman forces of Maurice de Londres, she deserves far more appreciation. Just as there is a statue to the other great, Brythonic warrior Princess, Buddug (Boudica) in London, so too should there be one for Gwenllian in Cymru.
