[The sources that Bartrum cites for Gwenllian are: “Plant yr Arglwydd Rhys” 2b, copied about 1500 from a MS probably composed in the mid to late 1300s, and Peniarth 131 (221), written by Ieuan Brechfa about 1500. Bartrum comments on “Plant yr Arglwydd Rhys” that it contains palpable errors and must be treated with caution. The relevant passage is: “Gwraic Gruffudd ap Ednyfed oedd Wenllian verch Howel ap Trahayarn ap Gwgan ap Bleddyn ap Maenyrch o Vrychainioc.”]
