  • La batalla de Mechain tingué lloc l'any 1070 en un lloc indeterminat en el cantref de , en el regne de Powys (Gal·les). Rere la mort del rei de Gal·les Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, el rei Harold II es casà amb la seva vídua Ealdgyth. El reialme de Gal·les fou partit novament en els regnes tradicionals. Bleddyn ap Cynfyn i el seu germà assoliren un tracte amb en Harold i reberen els governs de Gwynedd i Powys. D'aquesta forma, quan els normands venceren i occiren Harold a la batalla de Hastings el 1066, en els límits de Gal·les hi trobaren els regnes tradicionals en comptes d'un regnat unificat. Gruffydd deixà dos fills (Maredudd i Idwal) que, el 1069 reptaren els germans Bleddyn i Rhiwallon, en un intent de recuperar part del regne del seu pare. Maredudd i Idwal foren vençuts en la batalla; un (no se sap quin dels dos) morí en l'enfrontament i l'altre d'hipotèrmia un cop acabada aquesta. (ca)
  • The Battle of Mechain was fought in Powys, Wales, in 1070, for rule of the Welsh kingdoms of Gwynedd and Powys. A written account is included in the Brut y Tywysogion, the medieval Welsh chronicle of the princes. It is also referred to in the work of medieval poets such as Lewys Glyn Cothi. After the murder of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, Harold Godwinson married his widow Ealdgyth and divided Gruffydd's realm into the traditional kingdoms of Gwynedd and Powys, the rule of which were given to Bleddyn ap Cynfyn and his brother Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn. Gruffydd left two sons— Maredudd and Idwal–who in 1070 challenged Bleddyn and Rhiwallon at Mechain in an attempt to win back part of their father's kingdom. However, both sons were defeated, Idwal (or Ithel) being killed in combat and Maredudd dying of exposure after the battle. Rhiwallon was also killed in this battle, leaving Bleddyn to rule Gwynedd and Powys alone. (en)
