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 voiced Jacob Frye in Assassin's Creed: Syndicate.[1]
Rhodri's date of death has been a subject of much debate. The Brut y Tywysogion records his death occurring at the Battle of Sunday on Anglesey in 873, while the Annales Cambriae has the two events occurring in different years. Egerton Phillimore recorded his death as 877 in his article Y Cymmroder. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states that Rhodri and his brother Gwriad were killed in battle against the Mercians in 878.[2]
