The second of the Ricardian monarchs' Rhisiart II "The Conqueror" succeeded to his father, Rhisiart I on the 13th June 1773. The second king from the House of Morgannwg, he was also the second Cymro-French monarch. He would turn out to be one of the most unpopular monarchs in Welsh history, with nobles, gentry, merchants alike all despising him for one reason or another. Only amongst the general populace did he remain popular, and then only because in the pre-media world the kingdom was kept blissfully unaware of his French tendencies, his struggle with the Welsh language and his scathing anti-democratic ideals.

abstract
  • The second of the Ricardian monarchs' Rhisiart II "The Conqueror" succeeded to his father, Rhisiart I on the 13th June 1773. The second king from the House of Morgannwg, he was also the second Cymro-French monarch. He would turn out to be one of the most unpopular monarchs in Welsh history, with nobles, gentry, merchants alike all despising him for one reason or another. Only amongst the general populace did he remain popular, and then only because in the pre-media world the kingdom was kept blissfully unaware of his French tendencies, his struggle with the Welsh language and his scathing anti-democratic ideals. Becoming King at the age of 20 his reign would see a brief war with England at the start of his reign, a long truce with the British State, and then a final flourish of warfare, which would see all of Wales apart from Gwynedd Is-Conwy returned to his rule. This achievement would earn him the epitaph "Conqueror" as his reign also saw the final peace negotiations which resulted in the Treaty of Amwythig and the restoration of all Welsh territory.
