Dabei schlug er 1136 bei Kidwelly Castle zusammen mit Geoffrey, dem Constable der Burg eine walisische Streitmacht unter Führung von Gwenllian, der Frau des Fürsten Gruffydd ap Rhys von Deheubarth. Die Waliser erlitten eine vernichtende Niederlage, nach der Schlacht ließ Maurice die gefangene Gwenllian als Rebellin hinrichten. Vor 1139 übernahm er von Roger von Salisbury Kidwelly Castle und die Herrschaft Kidwelly, wodurch er ein selbständiger Lord der Welsh Marches wurde. Er stiftete die Kirche St Peter of Gloucester bei Oystermouth Castle. 1141 erneuerte er die Stiftung der Priorei von Ewenny, in dessen Kirche sich auch sein prächtiges Grabmal befindet. Vermutlich um 1159 verlor er die Herrschaft Kidwelly an Rhys ap Gruffydd, dem walisischen Fürsten von Deheubarth. Mit seiner Frau Adeliza hatte er zwei Söhne, William und Thomas. (de)

During the Welsh uprising, after the death of King Henry I, he made a counter-attack after the defeat of the Anglo-Normans at the Battle of Loughor. Prior to 1139 he acquired Kidwelly Castle from Roger of Salisbury and took control of Kidwelly, making him an independent lord of the Welsh Marches. In 1136 he led a Norman army into battle at Kidwelly against the native Welsh, led by Gwenllian ferch Gruffudd, with the King of Deheubarth Gruffudd ap Rhys. This was a rare example of a woman leading an army into battle in Medieval Britain. Gwenllian was captured and then beheaded on the orders of de Londres, along with one of her children. He founded All Saints' Church, Oystermouth. He also founded Ewenny Priory in 1141 when he granted the nearby Norman church of St. Michael to the abbey of St. Peter at Gloucester (now Gloucester Cathedral), together with the churches of St Brides Major, St. Michael at Colwinston and the manor at Lampha. The church had been built in the 12th century by his father, William de Londres. The village of Ewenny grew around the priory and church. The priory of Ewenny also contains his tomb. In around 1159 he lost control of Kidwelly to Rhys ap Gruffydd, the Welsh prince of Deheubarth. With his wife Adeliza, he had two sons, William de Londres (died 1211) and Thomas. (en)
