Bis zur Eroberung von Wales durch den englischen König Eduard I. 1283 bestand das Land aus unabhängigen Fürstentümern. Die wichtigsten davon waren das Königreich Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth (ursprünglich und Dyfed), und Morgannwg (ursprünglich aus Gwent und ). Aufgrund ständiger Grenzveränderungen können nur wenige Fürsten behaupten, über (fast) ganz Wales geherrscht zu haben; jene, die über große Teile des Landes Macht ausübten, sind in der folgenden Liste fett dargestellt.

Before the Conquest of Wales, completed in 1282, Wales consisted of a number of independent kingdoms, the most important being Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth (originally Ceredigion, Seisyllwg and Dyfed) and Morgannwg (Glywysing and Gwent). Boundary changes and the equal division of patrimony meant that few princes ever came close to ruling the whole of Wales. The names of those known to have ruled over one or more of the kingdoms are listed below. The only person known to have ruled all of Wales was Gruffydd ap Llywelyn (c. 1010-1063), a prince of Gwynedd who became King of Wales from 1055 to 1063. However, the princes of the medieval period hailing largely from west Wales, mainly Gwynedd, had such significant authority that allowed them to claim authority beyond the borders of their kingdoms. This allowed many Princes to claim to rule all Wales. Rhodri Mawr has been suggested by some as the first sovereign of Wales, and the first to unite most of Wales. The modern-day territory of Wales was only fully united under the direct rule of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn from 1055 to 1063 according to historian John Davies. The native use of the title 'Prince of Wales' appeared more frequent by the eleventh century as a 'modernised' or reformed form of the old high kingship of the Britons. The native use of the titles ended following the killing of Llywelyn the Last and his brother, Dafydd ap Gruffydd and since then the Prince of Wales title has been used by the English and then British monarchy.

Roimh Choncas na Breataine Bige, a críochnaíodh sa bhliain 1282, bhí an Bhreatain Bheag comhdhéanta de roinnt ríochtaí neamhspleácha, agus is iad Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth ( Ceredigion, Seisyllwg agus Dyfed ar dtús) agus Morgannwg ( Glywysing agus Gwent ). De bharr athruithe teorann agus roinnt chothrom na pátrúnachta níor tháinig mórán prionsaí riamh fíorghar do rialú na Breataine Bige ar fad. Laistíos liostaítear ainmneacha na ndaoine sin ar eol a bheith i gceannas ar cheann amháin nó níos mó de na ríochtaí. Ba é an t-aon duine arbh eol a bhí i gceannas ar an mBreatain Bheag ar fad ná Gruffydd ap Llywelyn (c. 1010-1063), prionsa ar Gwynedd a bhí ina Rí ar an mBreatain Bheag ó 1055 go 1063. Mar sin féin, bhí údarás chomh suntasach ag prionsaí na meánaoise arb as iarthar na Breataine Bige iad, Gwynedd go príomha, a thug deis dóibh údarás a éileamh lasmuigh de theorainneacha a ríochtaí féin. Leis sin, bhí cuid mhór Prionsaí in ann a mhaíomh go raibh siad in ann an Bhreatain Bheag go léir a rialú. Rhodri Mawr molta ag roinnt mar an chéad rí ar an mBreatain Bheag, agus an chéad cheann a d'aontódh an chuid is mó den Bhreatain Bheag. Ní raibh críoch na Breataine Bige comhaimseartha aontaithe go hiomlán ach faoi riail dhíreach Gruffydd ap Llywelyn ó 1055 go 1063 de réir an staraí John Davies. Bhí úsáid dhúchais an teidil ‘Prionsa na Breataine Bige’ le feiceáil níos minice faoin aonú haois déag mar fhoirm ‘nua-aoiseach’ nó leasaithe de shean-ardrí na mBriotanach. Tháinig deireadh le húsáid dhúchasach na dteideal tar éis marú Llywelyn ap Gruffudd agus a dheartháir, Dafydd ap Gruffydd agus ó shin i leith tá an teideal Prionsa na Breataine Bige in úsáid ag na Sasanaigh agus ansin ag monarcacht na Breataine.

Prima della conquista edoardiana, avvenuta nel 1282, il Galles consisteva di diversi principati indipendenti, dei quali i più importanti erano Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth (in origine Seisyllwg e Dyfed), Gwent e Morgannwg. I cambi nei confini e l'equa divisione del patrimonio, significarono che pochi principi riuscirono mai ad arrivare vicini a regnare sull'intero Galles. I nomi dei personaggi noti per aver regnato su uno o più dei principati sono elencati di seguito (quelli in grassetto regnarono su gran parte del Galles). (it)
