Relationships

Father: Lluddica ap Tudur Trefor.

This relationship is given in an early manuscript (“Llwythau y Mars” in“Hen Lwythau Gwynedd A’r Mars”) given by Bartrum in Early Welsh Genealogical Tracts (p. 113). The name string begins with Rhys Sais and goes back in time: “Rhys Sais o Faelor mab Ednyfet ap Llywarch gam ap Lluddika ap Tudur Trefawr ap Ymyr ap Katfarch ap Gwernen ap Gwaeddgar ap Bywyn ap Byordderch ap Gwryawn ap Gwynuau ap Kadell dyrnllug, y gwr y gelwir Kadelling oe Henw.” Bartrum considered the manuscript “fundamentally reliable” in the generations close to Rhys Sais, but defective in the earliest generations. This relationship is also shown by Bartrum (Tudur Trefor 1), Mostyn (p. 7), Dwnn (2:307), and Lloyd (2:310).

Mother: Angharad ferch Iago.

This relationship is shown by Bartrum (Tudur Trefor 1, Tables: Early Series, p. 41), and given by Mostyn (p. 6), Dwnn (2:307), and Lloyd (2:310). Mostyn (p. 6) notes that the MSS give Angharad as a daughter of Iago ap Idwal ap Meurig, but that this is clearly an error for Iago ap Idwal Foel ap Anarawd. Bartrum tentatively goes along with this.

(supposed) Spouse: Nest ferch Gwrystan ap Gwaethfoed.

This relationship is shown by Bartrum (Tudur Trefor 1). Mostyn (p. 3) states that Llywarch Gam “is said” to have married Lleucu, daughter of Gwrystan ap Gwaethfoed. Dwnn (2:307) gives her name as “Llyky”, and Lloyd (1:310) gives “Letitia.”
