The Nature of Warfare in Wales was not as in England with for the most part major set piece battles. In Wales it was as often as not a war resisting Invasions and of raids large and small, attacks on Castles and Settler Town also in particular 'hit and run' skirmishes that in themselves are of as much of historical importance as battles as example the Skirmish at Coed Gwyrne. This Skirmish is important to the War of 1136 and the Battle of Grugmawr. The Welsh of Gwent, led by Iowerth ab Owain (grandson of Caradog ap Gruffydd, Gwent’s Welsh ruler displaced by the Norman invasions), ambushed and slew Richard Fitz Gilbert, the Norman lord who controlled Ceredigion.
