Battle of Cadfan
The Battle of Cadfan was fought in 1257 between English and Welsh forces. The Battle consisted of two military engagements; one at Coed Llathen and the other at Cymerau. The word Cadfan is a combination of the Welsh words 'Cad' (meaning battle) and 'fan' (meaning place/area), with 'Cadfan' directly translating to 'place of battle'.
==Background==
In the years before the battle, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd of Gwynedd had been rapidly gaining power. Llywelyn had received much support from the lords of Deheubarth Maredudd ap Rhys and Maredudd ap Owain during the campaign, and as a reward for their loyalty, he gave them land that he had stripped from their nephew, Rhys Fychan (who was a supporter of the English king). Prince Edward (recently appointed Earl of Chester) had noticed Llywelyn's growing power and raised an army in an attempt to counter the potential threat of Llywelyn. Edward had support from several English nobles, however he had little aid from his father, Henry III of England.〔Marc Morris ''A Great and Terrible King, Edward I and the Forging of Britain'', page 32〕
The forces Edward (led by the English nobles Stephen Bauzan, Lord of Breigan and Llansannor and Nicholas FitzMartin, Lord of Cemais) invaded Wales with a large army of English, Gascon and south Welsh troops in an attempt to restore Rhys and to halt Llywelyn's growing power.〔()〕
