Life
He earned his epithet 'the Lame' after being wounded in his knee at the Battle of the Conwy in 881 AD fighting alongside his brothers against the invading Mercians.[1] Because he had become lame, his brothers gave him the territory of Uchelogoed Gwynedd[2] and the chief churches of Gwynedd.[3] The arms borne by Tudwal Gloff were azure, a wolf saliant argent, langued armed gules.[4] He held the title Lord of Uchel Gwenydd.[5] He married Helen, daughter of Aleth, ruler of Dyfed.[6]
