Robert of Rhuddlan died 3 July 1093 was a Normans Norman adventurer who became lord of much of north east Wales and for a period lord of all North Wales . Robert was the cousin of Hugh d Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester , and appears to have come to the Welsh Marches before 1066 in the service of Edward the Confessor . Hugh became Earl of Chester in 1070, and Robert appears to have been appointed Hugh s commander of troops in 1072. He immediately began hostilities with the Welsh, and having captured land in the cantref of Tegeingl North East Wales he built a Motte and bailey Motte and bailey castle at Twthill, Rhuddlan Twthill near Rhuddlan , holding the lands as a vassal of Earl Hugh. When Gruffydd ap Cynan tried to History of Gwynedd during the High Middle Ages Mathrafal ascendency and English alliances 1063 1081 recover the throne of Kingdom of Gwynedd Gwynedd from Trahaearn ap Caradog in 1075, Robert assisted Gruffydd by providing Norman troops. Later the same year Trahaearn counter attacked and drove Gruffydd to seek refuge in Ireland , but Robert was able to take advantage of the civil war to seize the cantref s of Rhos north Wales Rhos and Rhufoniog and to build another castle at Deganwy . He now ruled most of northern Wales east of the River Conwy . In 1081, Trahaearn ap Caradog, who had been able to prevent Robert from encroaching further west, was killed in the Battle of Mynydd Carn by Gruffydd ap Cynan and his allies. Gruffudd now became king of Gwynedd, but shortly thereafter he was captured by treachery by the Normans at Rhug near Corwen . Gruffydd was imprisoned by Earl Hugh in his castle at Chester , but Robert seems to have been responsible for his capture, since he was the one to claim Gruffydd s lands.
