“The three brothers [Cadwgan, Iorwerth, and Maredudd] held their lands as vassals of Robert of Belleme, 3^rd Earl of Shrewsbury. In 1102 the Earl was summoned to answer charges at the court6 of King Henry I of England [William the Conqueror’s son] and responded by rising in rebellion against the king. All three brothers initially supported Robert and took up arms on his behalf. The king…detache[ed] Iorwerth…from his alliance with Robert and his own brothers by the promise of large gifts of land. William succeeded in this, and Iorwerth, after leading a large Welsh force to help the king defeat and banish Earl Robert, then captured his brother Maredudd and handed him over to the king.”
