Henry the Second King of England made great preparations for War hee entred South-Wales as far as Brecknok and returnd without any cause of triumphing And in the year 1165. the said King Henry the Second came in Person again having in his Army the stoutest of Englishmen Normans Gascoigners Flemmings Guiencys and some fugitive Welch but Prince Owen joyned with South-Wales and others after much fighting and losse on both sides King Henry returned without Conquest and fewer men then he brought forth Also the next year 1167. the same King made a greater inrode into Wales to as much purpose as he had done twice before Also presently in the ●ick of these troubles another Army of Flemmings and Normans came to West-Wales did much harm and in the end returned with much losse Then presently to make the misery of Wales compleat the Welsh Lords fell together by the ears one with another and after a weary and troublesome Raign of 32. yeares the magnanimous Prince Owen Guineth dyed Anno 1169. His Son David succeeded the 22 Prince who was fain to fight for it and kill his Brother Howell before he could attain the Princedom Then did Henry the 2.
