Resistance Against Danes
Rhodri faced pressure both from the English and increasingly from the Danes, who were recorded as ravaging Anglesey in 854. In 856 Rhodri won a notable victory over the Danes, killing their leader Gorm (sometimes given as Horm).
In 876 Rhodri fought another battle against the Norse invaders on Anglesey, after which he had to flee to Ireland.
