The second War of Independence lasted from 1759 to 1796 with the Treaty of Shrewsbury. With the death of Rhys in 1750 there followed a period of Regency, where the leading exiled nobles formed a Regency Council in Exile, based primarily in the Chateau de Marly, near Versailles Palace in Paris. For the five years between 1750 and 1755 little was achieved as the nobles juggled for supremacy amongst themselves. In 1754 however, Rhisiart of Glamorgan returned to Paris from a Grand Tour of Europe. Newly married his young wife put pressure on him to press his claim as the senior tripartite Prince remaining. In the March of 1755 the council finally agrees on Rhisiart as the new king of Wales.
