Gwladys ferch Dafydd was the daughter of Dafydd ap Gruffudd, the last free Prince of Wales, and Elizabeth Ferrers. She probably spent most her life in the company of her father in England and Gwynedd.

Upon the death of his brother Llywelyn the Last, on 10 December 1282, Dafydd ap Gruffydd briefly took over as Prince of Wales. Hearing the news, Edward I gathered his forces to unseat the newly named prince. Dafydd, his family and a few stalwart supports went into hiding in the forests of the Snowdonian Alps. Sensing a losing effort, most of his countrymen gave up hope of continuing the Gwynedd regime. In June 1283, Gwladys was arrested with her father, mother, brothers (Llywelyn and Owain) and sisters.

Dafydd was hanged, drawn and quartered for treason. Dafydd's sons were imprisoned. Gwladys was dispatched to Gilbertine convent in Sixhills, Lincolnshire as a young child. Edward I ordered annual payment of 20 pounds for Gwaldys' upkeep at the Sixhills convent, where she spent the remainder of her life. She is thought to have died there in 1336, outliving her other siblings. She may have had other illegitimate sisters but their names and fates as well as her mother are unknown.
