About the battle
The Battle of Maes Moydog was a decisive victory on 5 March 1295 by the English over the Welsh during Madog ap Llywelyn's 1294-95 rebellion. A force of Edward I's army led by William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick surprised Madog and his men while they camped in the field of Moydog (Welsh: Maidog, also Meidiog) near Castle Caereinion in Powys. Madog failed to overcome the defeat, and his rebellion ended several months later when he was captured.
