About Gwladus verch Gruffydd

On Christmas day, 1175, William de Braose murdered Seisyll ap Dyfnwal, along with other Welsh leaders; then he went over to Seisyll's castle and murdered his 7 year old son Cadwaladr and captured his wife Gwladys. What happened to her we do not know; that's the last we know of her.
