Little is known of his reign of Powys save that it was at the same time as Offa's rule of Mercia, and Offa's Dyke was constructed. He apparently lost the lands his father gained before him. Succeeded by his son, Cadell.

Elisedd was remembered by his great grandson, Cyngen ap Cadell as having rebuilt Powys and receovered lands from the English. He built a stone pillar known as "Elisegg's Pillar" at Llangollen, well inside the Welsh border, declaring his line from Vortigen.

Elisedd ap Gwylog (died c. 755), also known as Elise was king of Powys in eastern Wales.
Little has been preserved in the historical records about Elisedd, who was a descendant of Brochwel Ysgithrog. He appears to have reclaimed the territory of Powys after it had been overrun by the English. His great-grandson, Cyngen ap Cadell erected a column in his memory which stands not far from the later abbey of Valle Crucis. This is known as the Pillar of Eliseg, but the form Eliseg which appears on the column is thought to be a mistake by the carver of the inscription.
The Latin inscription on the pillar is now very hard to read, but was apparently clearer in the time of Edward Lhuyd who transcribed it. The translation of the part of the inscription referring to Elisedd is as follows:
+ Concenn son of Catell, Catell son of Brochmail, Brochmail son of Eliseg, Eliseg son of Guoillauc.
+ And that Concenn, great-grandson of Eliseg, erected this stone for his great-grandfather Eliseg.
+ The same Eliseg, who joined together the inheritance of Powys . . . out of the power of the Angles with his sword and with fire.
+ Whosoever repeats the writing, let him give a blessing on the soul of Eliseg.
Elisedd was succeeded by his son Brochfael.

A date confusion remains, perhaps several generations of Powys rulers have been lost between Powys' dark years between the Battle of Chester in 613 and the recovery of lands by Elisedd in 725.
Probably driven into exile by Edwin.

Aelfwynn was the only daughter of Earl Aethelred of Mercia and his wife and successor Ethelfleda. She joined her mother as "lady of the Mercians" in 918. She succeeded to the throne with the death of her co-ruler later that same year.
Mercia was claimed by her maternal uncle Edward the Elder of the Kingdom of England in 919. She was easily deposed. There never was another Lady of the Mercians. Edward used Mercia to expand his empire.
