The poem is divided into four cantos, each of which describes a different stage of Llewelyn's life and his struggle for Welsh independence.In the first canto, Llewelyn is introduced as a young prince who is determined to protect his people from the English invaders. He rallies his troops and leads them into battle, but is ultimately defeated and forced to flee.In the second canto, Llewelyn regroups and begins to plan his revenge against the English. He gathers a new army and launches a series of successful attacks against the English forces.In the third canto, Llewelyn's fortunes begin to turn as the English army regroups and launches a counter-attack. Llewelyn is captured and imprisoned, but manages to escape and continue his fight for Welsh independence.In the final canto, Llewelyn leads his army into a final battle against the English. Despite being outnumbered, Llewelyn's forces emerge victorious, and he is hailed as a hero by his people.Throughout the poem, the author uses vivid imagery and powerful language to convey the brutality of war and the strength of Llewelyn's character.
