Fate of Her Male Cousins
Dafydd's two young sons, heirs to the Principality or Kingdom of Wales, were taken to Bristol Castle, where they were held prisoner; Llywelyn ap Dafydd died there in 1287, four years after his capture, and was buried in the Dominican Church; Owain ap Dafydd survived (his brother); the King of England ordered a cage made of timber, bound with iron, in which to hold Owain ap Dafydd more securely at night. Owain was never released from imprisonment.
King Edward I took the title of "Prince of Wales" for the Crown, bestowing it upon his son, Edward, at a Parliament held in Lincoln in 1301 at the age of seventeen. The title is still given to the heir apparent to the British crown to this day.
