[The sources that Bartrum cites for Hywel are: “Plant yr Arglwydd Rhys” 2b, copied about 1500 from a MS probably composed in the mid to late 1300s; Peniarth 128 (738b, 789b), “Llyfr Edward ap Roger”, written before 1582; and Peniarth 133 (170, 186), Peniarth 176 (367), and Peniarth 178 part 1 (3), by Gruffudd Hiraethog (died 1564). 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.”]
