Nothing is known of his early life, though it is thought he was probably born some time around 1267. King Edward I of England then issued orders for the apprehension of the primogeniture of Dafydd ap Gruffudd. A force of cavalry and infantry were deployed to escort Llywelyn and Owain out of Gwynedd via Acton Burnell in Shropshire to Bristol before the end of July 1283.
After his father was executed for high treason in October 1283, he became the de jure Prince of Gwynedd.
His burial was paid for by King Edward I.
