Oct 3rd 1283 - Hanged, drawn and quartered

Dafydd ap Gruffydd was Prince of Wales from 11 December 1282 until his execution on 3 October 1283 by King Edward I of England. He was the last independent ruler of Wales.


Dafydd ap Gruffydd was also the first nobleman to be executed by being hanged, drawn and quartered. On 30 September, Dafydd ap Gruffudd, Prince of Wales, was condemned to death, the first person known to have been tried and executed for what from that time onwards would be described as high treason against the King.
