… The final campaign of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. Victory at The Battle of Moel-y-Don on 6th November 1282, delayed Edward I's eventual conquest of Wales. In 1272 Edward I had acceded to the throne of England and Llywelyn had consistently refused to pay him tribute. The result was that in 1276, Edward declared Llywelyn a rebel and took prisoner Llywelyn's betrothed wife, Eleanor de Montfort. Edward marched a huge army into North Wales, aided by Llywelyn's own brother, Dafydd ap Gruffydd. By the summer of 1277, Edward's forces had reached the centre of Gwynedd, where they confiscated the harvest in Anglesey. Unable to feed his army, Llywelyn was forced to negotiate, resulting in the Treaty of Aberconwy.
This treaty guaranteed peace in return for several difficult concessions for Llywelyn; * Llywelyn was forced to acknowledge the English king as his sovereign. * Llywelyn continued to rule Gwynedd Uwch Conwy, west of the River Conwy (indicated in green).
* The Perfeddwlad, east of the Conwy, was divided between Dafydd ap Gruffudd and areas ceded to the English Crown). * Eleanor was released and she and Llywelyn were formally married in Worcester in 1278, on the Feast Day of St Edward.
Following the treaty, Dafydd turned against the English and was reconciled with Llywelyn. The brothers then rebelled, fighting to keep Wales independent, but Edward continued to send armies into Wales and in 1282, a force consisting of 2000 infantrymen and 200 cavalrymen under the former constable of Gascony, Luke de Tany, succeeded in capturing Anglesey. de Tany's men then constructed a bridge of boats across the Menai Strait, to attack Llywelyn from the north. However as the English crossed, Llywelyn emerged with a large army to meet them and as they attempted to retreat, the English were cut off by the rising tide, with many knights drowning, dragged down by their heavy armour, along with 300 infantrymen.
This military success, coupled with victory at the battle of Llandeilo Fawr in South Wales during which another English army was routed, inflated Welsh morale and delayed Edward's plans. However, Welsh hopes were dashed a few weeks later when Llywelyn was killed at Cilmeri, after leading a foray into mid-Wales to gather support. …

His citation reads; "For most conspicuous bravery displayed in action until he was killed. Captain Russell repeatedly went out to attend the wounded under murderous fire from snipers and machine-guns, and in many cases, when no other means were at hand, carried them in himself, although almost exhausted. He showed the greatest possible degree of valour." He had previously been awarded the Military Cross at the First Battle of Gaza. [b]

In 1981, the rediscovery of the black-footed ferret (previously thought extinct in 1979), was reported by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. One had been captured in Wyoming and fitted with a radio transmitter. Historically it was a predator of prairie dogs on North America's arid, shortgrass prairies. Farming's destruction of the habitat and wide-scale poisoning to eradicate prairie dogs as pests, resulted in the disappearance of their specialized predator, the ferret. It now survives in a program of captive breeding and reintroduction sites where prairie dog towns are also protected. About 100 acres of a prairie dog colony are needed to support one ferret family (a female and her young). Predators such as owls, eagles, hawks, coyotes, badgers, foxes, and bobcats are the main cause of death for wild ferrets.
