Orewin Bridge, Battle of

Years: 1282 - 1282

The Battle of Orewin Bridge (also known as the Battle of Irfon Bridge) was fought between English (led by the Marcher Lords) and Welsh armies on 11 December 1282 near Builth Wells in mid-Wales. It was a decisive defeat for the Welsh because their leader, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd was killed, and this effectively ended the autonomy of Wales.

“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”

― Golda Meir, My Life (1975)
