Tudur ab Ithel Fychan ab Ithel Llwyd

Carr (2017, p. 83) notes that "... the surviving deeds reveal that Tudur ab Ithel Fychan was, without any doubt, one of the most important estate builders in fourteenth-century Wales and one of the earliest to have built up a large landed estate by purchase rather than by inheritance or marriage."
