Gwenllian ferch Gruffuydd was the only woman in Welsh history to lead an army.
She was executed just outside Kidwelly
Castle for treason in 1136. Some say a spring welled up right on the spot that she died and that her ghost still haunts Kidwelly castle.
Gwenlliam's youngest son Rhys would become one of the most powerful Lords in the land and would dominate politics in the southwest of wales in the later part of the 1100s.
