Death of Llewellyn, c1836 - A Glimpse into the Last Stand of Wales' Sovereign Prince
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by Unknown William Radclyffe in the 19th century, takes us back to a defining moment in Welsh history. The image depicts the tragic demise of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last sovereign prince of Wales before its conquest by Edward I of England. In this poignant scene from the Battle of Orewin Bridge near Builth Wells on December 11,1282, we witness Llywelyn's fall as he valiantly fights for his country's independence. Surrounded by chaos and turmoil, injured and facing certain death, he is attended to by a priest who administers his last rites. The engraving masterfully captures not only the physicality of battle but also conveys a profound sense of loss and sacrifice. It transports us to a time when Christianity played an integral role in medieval society and offers a glimpse into religious customs during that era. Llywelyn ap Gruffudd's legacy as a brave leader who fought fiercely for his people endures through this powerful image. As we contemplate this historical artwork today, it serves as a reminder of Wales' rich heritage and its struggle against external forces seeking dominion over its lands. Through Radclyffe's skillful rendering and attention to detail, we are transported back to that fateful day—a testament to both artistic prowess and historical significance.
