			===Conflict in Sciropescire===
			[[File:ACV War Weary 6.png\|thumb\|250px\|left\|Rhodri meeting his old rival Ivarr during the peace talks]]
			Circa 873, Rhodri, accompanied by his army, Angharad, and his captain [[Ynyr ap Cadfarch]], traveled to [[Quatford]] in [[Shropshire\|Sciropescire]] to negotiate a peace treaty with the Vikings and the Mercians following the capture of his brother [[Gwriad ap Merfyn]]. During the peace talks inside the town [[church]], overseen by Bishop [[Deorlaf]], Rhodri quickly turned hostile towards the Vikings, as the group included his nemesis Ivarr Ragnarsson. Ivarr was similarly not at all pleased to see Rhodri and, after the king mocked him, he retaliated by murdering Gwriad right before his eyes.<ref name="War Weary"/>

			With any hopes for peace gone, Rhodri ordered his soldiers to kill Ivarr and his allies and promptly retreated alongside Angharad and Ynyr.<ref name="War Weary"/> The Britons would subsequently wage war against the Vikings and the Mercians throughout Sciropescire, though Rhodri's forces were considerably weakened after Ivarr's ally [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] cut off their supply line from [[Dhustone Quarry]]<ref name="The Supply Line">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[The Supply Line]]</ref> and [[raid]]ed their [[Wenlocan Outpost\|outpost]] near [[Wenlocan Abbey]].<ref name="Ransacking Wenlocan">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Ransacking Wenlocan]]</ref> Following the death of Ynyr at the hands of Eivor, Ivarr, and [[Ceolbert]], Rhodri finally decided to sue for peace, though Angharad advised him to let her handle the negotiations, fearing that her husband's presence might instigate another conflict with Ivarr.<ref name="Bloody Path to Peace">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Bloody Path to Peace]]</ref>

			===Death===
			During the peace negotiations, Rhodri resided in [[Caustow Castle]], which eventually came under siege by the Vikings after Ivarr, wishing to kill the king, framed the Britons for Ceolbert's death to sabotage the peace talks. Ahead of the siege, Rhodri taunted Ivarr from atop the [[fort]]ress walls, denying responsibility for Ceolbert's death but at the same time refusing to surrender to the Vikings.<ref name="King Killer"/>

			[[File:ACV King Killer 16.png\|thumb\|250px\|Rhodri before his torture and death]]
			After the Vikings breached the fortress' defenses, Ivarr and Eivor confronted Rhodri inside his keep. A short struggle between the two old rivals followed, during which Rhodri managed to set Ivarr alight with a candlestick. However, the Viking brushed it off and laughed as he hit the king in the chest and the head, knocking him unconscious. With Rhodri as their prisoner, Eivor and Ivarr proceeded to carry him to [[Manstone Rock]], where the latter subjected the king to the [[blood eagle]] ritual, killing him slowly as a disturbed Eivor looked on.<ref name="King Killer"/>

	==Personality and traits==		==Personality and traits==

			==Behind the scenes==
			Rhodri the Great is a character that appears in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]''. He is voiced by Welsh actor [[Paul Amos]], who also voiced [[Jacob Frye]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''.<ref name="Darby Tweet">{{Twitter\|DarbyMcDevitt\|status/1326150460873596928\|Darby McDevitt\|quote=Mr Paul Amos as King Rhodri, a little known distant cousin of Eminem. And a tough guy to boot.\|image=\|noimage=\|backup=}}</ref>

			Rhodri's date of death has been a subject of much debate. The ''{{Wiki\|Brut y Tywysogion}}'' records his death occurring at the Battle of Sunday in 873, while the ''{{Wiki\|Annales Cambriae}}'' has the two events occurring in different years. {{Wiki\|Egerton Phillimore}} recorded his death as 877 in his article ''Y Cymmroder''. The ''{{Wiki\|Anglo-Saxon Chronicle}}'' states that Rhodri and his brother Gwriad were killed in battle against the Mercians in 878.<ref name="Wiki"/> Most sources do agree with the island of {{wiki\|Anglesey}} northwest of the Welsh mainland being the location of Rhodri's death as he fought against [[Ceolwulf II of Mercia]], rather than in Shropshire against Vikings as depicted in-game.
