  Notes	Known as the most beautiful woman in Wales. She had many lovers. In Christmas 1108 Owain ap Cadwgan of Cardigan came to visit Gerald and Nesta. He so lusted after her that he, that night, attacked the castle and carried her off and had his way with her. This upset Henry I so much that the incident started a war. http://www.hull.ac.uk/php/cssbct/cgi-bin/gedlkup.php/n=royal?royal05170 http://www.thepeerage.com/p10468.htm#i104677 Nesta, Princess of Deheubarth was the daughter of «u»Rhys ap Tewdwr, Prince of South Wales«/u» and «u»Gladys of Powys«/u».«sup»2,1«/sup» She married «u»Gerald fitz Walter «/u», son of «u»Walter fitz Otho «/u» and «u»Gladys ap Comyn «/u», circa 1100.«sup»3«/sup» She died before 1136.«sup»2«/sup» She was heiress of the lands of Carew, near Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire.«sup»3«/sup» She was also known as Nest of Wales.«sup»4«/sup» She gained the title of «i»Princess Nesta of Deheubarth.«sup»5 1. «/sup»«/i»G.E.
