1170 CE

Rhys benefits in 1169 and 1170 from the Norman invasion of Ireland, which is largely led by the Cambro-Norman lords of south Wales.

The departure of the Norman lords enables Rhys to strengthen his position, and the death of Owain Gwynedd in late 1170 leaves him as the acknowledged leader of the Welsh princes.
