  • Apportion lands to the other princes

  • Decide the next king of England

  • Discuss John's unlawful deeds

Answer

The council at Aberdyfi, which took place in 1267, aimed to apportion lands to the other princes of Wales. It was the first time that all of the Welsh princes had met together since the 12th century, and it was an attempt to strengthen the unity of Wales against the English. However, the council was not successful in its aims, and the English continued to encroach on Welsh territory.
