Notes |
- Daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, Prince of Deheubarth 1078-1093 (South Wales) and Gwladus of Deheubarth. Known as the most beautiful woman in Wales. She had many lovers. In Christmas 1108 Owain ap Cadwgan of Cardigan came to visit Gerald and Nesta. He so lusted after her that he, that night, attacked the castle and carried her off and had his way with her. This upset Henry I so much that the incident started a war. Source: Brian Tompsett, Leo van de Pas. [4]
