She was married to Dafydd ab Owain Gwynedd, a Welsh prince.
[4] Emma married Dafydd in the summer of 1174, after an unsuccessful rebellion by the queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and her older sons had led her half-brother the king to disperse Eleanor's court in Aquitaine and bring Emma back to England.
[5] Emma had four children by Dafydd: In 1176, after her husband's rule in the Kingdom of Gwynedd had been challenged by his brother, Emma is known to have visited King Henry II and received a gift of manors in Shropshire and Worcestershire.
[7] In 1196, Emma and her husband, at the request of their son, Owain,[2] gave property to Haughmond Abbey.
[8] Shortly afterwards, Dafydd was deposed by his nephew, Llywelyn the Great, and was forced into exile in England, where he died in 1203.
