After his father's death in 1197, Gruffydd was handed over to the English government by Gwenwynwyn, lord of Powys, imprisoned in Corfe castle, then brought in to negotiate with Powys during Gwenwynwyn's campaign against William de Braose's stronghold at Painscastle. His wife Maud was kept as his hostage, and an entry on the Pipe Roll for 1198 shows her in Bridgenorth castle. A little boat was hired to take her by the Severn to Gloucester
