This is the senior branch of the royal house of Deheubarth

From A History of Wales by John Davies, London, 2007, p. 103:

"William I died in 1087 and his territories were divided among his sons--his eldes, Robert, became duke of Normandy and his second son, William Rufus, became king of England. William II was less masterful than his father and less able to maintain the patronage which Rhys ap Tewdwr had received from William I. In 1088 Bernard of Neufmarché attacked Deheubarth; he captured Brycheiniog and began to build a castle at the confluence of the rivers Usk and Honddu (Aberhonddu--Brecon). In 1093, in seeking to resist him, Rhys ap Tewdwr was killed."
