The Welsh greatly disliked the "gratuitously cruel" Normans and by 1101 had regained control of the greater part of their country under the long reign of King Gruffudd ap Cynan, who had been imprisoned by the Normans for twelve years before his escape.
Velšani su mnogo mrzili "milosrdno okrutne" Normane i do 1101. vratili su nadzor nad većim dijelom svoje zemlje, a pod dugim kraljevanjem kralja Gruffudda ap Cynana, kojeg su Normani zatočili dvanaest godina prije nego je pobjegao.
