Created by Doug Coldwell (talk). Self nominated at 19:15, 29 November 2014 (UTC).

Hook is expressly and directly supported by three on line sources, namely:
  • Llwyd, Humphrey; Williams, Ieuan M. (2002). Cronica Walliae. Cardiff: University of Wales Press. ISBN 978-0-7083-1638-2. {{cite book}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help)
  • Lloyd, John Edward (2004). A History of Wales: From the Norman Invasion to the Edwardian Conquest (Print). New York: Banes & Noble. ISBN 978-0-7607-5241-8. {{cite book}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help) and
  • Williams, Rob (1852). A biographical dictionary of eminent Welshmen., from the earliest times to the present. Llandovery, London: William Rees/Longman, and Co. {{cite book}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help).
    I don't have a preference as between the alternate hooks. The subject's actions are right out of MacBeth—getting rid of three uncles is more than Kim Jong Un has accomplished so far.
  • New article. New enough, long enough, well cited article; hook is directly cited to several sources. As to off line sources, I WP:AGF, as I don't have the book. I note that this editor is a prolific DYK contributor, and may be implicitly relied upon. DYK QPQ is confirmed. No close paraphrasing or copyright issues. IMHO the quality of the hook is very high: interesting, hooky and capturing the essence of the article.7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
