Which activity did not happen under Llywelyn's reign?

  • Construction of castles

  • Development of Welsh law

  • Participation in Crusades

  • Alliances with major Marcher powers

Answer

Llywelyn was a Welsh leader who ruled over Gwynedd from 1246 to 1282. He was the first Welsh ruler to be crowned Prince of Wales, and he was a strong defender of Welsh independence. During his reign, Llywelyn did not participate in the Crusades. This was likely due to the fact that he was preoccupied with consolidating his power in Wales and with resisting English attempts to conquer his kingdom.
