It would have been nice to cite the sources for this; and explain why it relates at all to the rest of the article about the pantomime that Edward Williams made up?
Presumably the "Nation" in the first part is Wales, so how does the ruler of Deheubarth who has accepted a role subordinate to the principle English King relate to that? "Lord Rhys" even called himself a prince, so why the talk of kings?
You're seemingly playing fast and loose with British history to appeal to the mores of Welsh nationalists. It's unbecoming of a museum.
