Iago is probably the most controversial of any of the Welsh monarchs to have sat on the Welsh throne. Known to posterity as "the Tyrant" he presided over some of the most turbulent years in Welsh history since the Restoration in 1796. During his reign Wales would see the Five Year Autocracy, involvement in the Irish War of Independence, the Turko-Greek War, Communist Uprisings in the southern valleys, alliance with Nazi Germany, the attempt to merge Wales into the German Reich, Military Government. Iago himself would become a cypher, prisoner in Castell Coch and the monarchy would come close to collapse. The end of his reign would see an attempted Communist takeover and the declaration of the Peoples Republic of Wales (Gwerinlywodraeth Pobl Cymru) with only the effectual takeover of Wales

| - Iago is probably the most controversial of any of the Welsh monarchs to have sat on the Welsh throne. Known to posterity as "the Tyrant" he presided over some of the most turbulent years in Welsh history since the Restoration in 1796. During his reign Wales would see the Five Year Autocracy, involvement in the Irish War of Independence, the Turko-Greek War, Communist Uprisings in the southern valleys, alliance with Nazi Germany, the attempt to merge Wales into the German Reich, Military Government. Iago himself would become a cypher, prisoner in Castell Coch and the monarchy would come close to collapse. The end of his reign would see an attempted Communist takeover and the declaration of the Peoples Republic of Wales (Gwerinlywodraeth Pobl Cymru) with only the effectual takeover of Wales by the US preventing this. As such his reign is seen as a kaleidoscope covering early highs, late lows and the survival of a reduced House of Morgannwg into the 1950's.
