The Welsh uprising of 1211 was a rebellion by several Welsh princes, orchestrated by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth with primary support from Gwenwynwyn of Powys, Maelgwn ap Rhys, and Madog ap Gruffydd Maelor against King John of England.[1] Although technically defeated, this uprising resulted in increased independence from England for the Welsh.
