Relationships
Father: Llywarch Goch ab Iorwerth ap Cynon.
This relationship is shown by Bartrum (Llywarch Howlbwrch 1, Llywarch Howlbwrch 2).
Mother: uncertain.
Bartrum doesn’t specify which of Llywarch Goch’s wives was Llywarch Fychan’s mother, but the praise poem by Guto’r Glyn linked to below, written about 1484, implies that a descendant of Llywarch’s son Cadwgon was a descendant of Llywarch ap Bran, which would likely mean that Llywarch Fychan was a son of Llywarch’s marriage to Llywarch ap Bran’s daughter Tangwystl.
Spouse: unknown.
