RHYS ap TEWDWR (bu farw 1093) on Anglo-Welsh relations. Henceforth, with the exception of the closing tragedy of his career, Rhys had only to contend with the jealousies of his fellow princes. In 1088 he was attacked by the young rulers of Powys and was obliged to seek refuge in Ireland, but he soon returned and, with Danish help, decisively defeated his opponents Madog, Rhiryd, and Cadwgan ap Bleddyn.

ROBERTS, THOMAS (1884 - 1960), educationalist and scholar based on many MS copies, but the editor did not attempt to produce a definitive text or to list variant readings.
