| Next event 
When Llywelyn ap Gruffudd is killed
in battle in 1282 near Builth, opposition to Edward
I's invasion of Wales caves in. By the time of the prince's death,
Edward's massive army has stripped him of all his lands except for Gwynedd.
Castles – 'the magnificent badges of our subjection', according to the
Welsh – are built along the border and the coast. The Statute of Wales
in 1284 places a much smaller Wales under the direct jurisdiction of England.
