Hywel "journeyed to Rome in 928 and is styled `king of all the Welsh.' His
position enabled him to undertake a reform of Welsh law, for which
posterity gratefully remembered him; the representative gathering which met
at Whitland to receive the new code is without a parallel in the early
annals of Wales, and the `law of Howel', amplified and re-edited by
generation after generation of Welsh legists, became the standard of tribal
and personal relations throughout the country. In its precision and
subtlety, it has been held to be the greatest intellectual achievement of
mediaeval Wales."{-Encycl.Brit.,`56,23:291-2} See extended discussion of
him and his times in "A History of Wales," John Davies (New York: Penguin
Books, 1993), Chapter Four.
