Peak renamed after Welsh princess

"A mountain has been renamed in honour of a Welsh princess who spent most of her life confined to a monastery. Carnedd Uchaf in the Ogwen Valley, Snowdonia, will become Carnedd Gwenllian following a campaign by the Princess Gwenllian Society.Her father Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffydd was killed in battle with Edward I in 1282 and Gwenllian was later captured and taken to a Lincolnshire monastery.

"The Society was founded to commemorate Gwenllian, the daughter of Llywelyn the last ruling Prince of Wales ("Llywelyn The Last"). After Llywelyn's death, the whole of Wales came under the control of King Edward I of England. Edward ordered Gwenllian, a 1-year old baby, to be imprisoned in an English convent so that she would not have children who might restore Welsh independence. There she remained until her death 53 years later."
