Generation 12
2048. Merfyn Frych ap Gwriad, king of Gwynedd, d. 844 [AU, AC] [HG.1:
"Mermin"]
2049. Unknown. [JC.18 gives her as Nest, daughter of king Cadell of
Powys. She, like Angharad (#1025), appears to be a late invention,
for reasons which are the same as for Angharad. See SW and the note
under #1025. Since Nest probably never existed, the supposed line of
descent through her from the kings of Powys is probably not valid.]
2050-2175. Unknown.
2176. Unknown. [Note: Some would place the legendary Ragnarr Loðbrók
(a figure of the Icelandic sagas and of the Danish pseudohistorian
Saxo) in this position. However, Ragnarr Loðbrók is a figure of
legend, not history, and the historically documented genealogy ends
with Ivarr (#1088).]
2177-2191. Unknown.
2192. Muirecán mac Diarmata (of the Uí Fáeláin branch of Uí
Dúnlainge), king of Laigin, d. 863 [AU] [R.117d=BB.138a (Rw.18,
CGH.14); LL337f (CGH.423)]
2193-2207. Unknown.
2208. Corcc mac Anluain (of In Déis Tuaiscirt [Dál Cais])
[R.152b=LL.322f (Rw.1274-5, CGH.237); R.154a=LL.336d=Lec.225Rb
(Rw.1359, CGH.250)]
2209-2215. Unknown.
2216. Máenach mac Flaithnia (of Uí Briúin Seóla) [BB.90b]
2217-2239. Unknown.
2240. Muiredach mac Brain (of the Uí Muiredaig branch of Uí
Dúnlainge), half-king ("leth-ri") of Laigin, d. 818 [AU]
[R.117c=LL.337d=BB.138a (Rw.11, CGH.13)]
2241. Etromma ingen Indellaig [WUD]
2242-3143. Unknown or duplicated.
3144. Bleiddig (or Bledri) [TYP no. 68, ByT] [Note: His son is listed
in the Welsh triads as one of three kings who were sprung from
villeins. No patronym is known for him.]
3145. Tangwystyl ferch Owain [HG.2: "Tancoystl merc Ouein"]
3146-4095. Unknown or duplicated.
Generation 13
4096. Gwriad, probably from the Isle of Man, and possibly the person
named on an inscription ("CRUX GURIAT") on a cross in the Isle of Man
which has been dated to the eighth or ninth century. [Note: The
genealogy which purports to make Gwriad a direct male-line descendant
of Llywarch Hen is almost certainly a late fabrication. It is more
likely that his paternal ancestors were among those who are named in
HG.4, but the exact line of descent (if any) is uncertain, and
Gwriad's parentage must be regarded as unknown. See SW for a
discussion of these issues. See also GH.]
4097. Esyllt ferch Cynan Dindaethwy [HG.1: "Etthil merch Cinnan"]
[Note: The best and earliest sources give her as the mother of Merfyn
Frych. Later sources erroneously assign her as Merfyn's wife. For a
discussion of this error, see SW.]
4098-4383. Unknown.
4384. Diarmait mac Ruadrach (of the Uí Fáeláin branch of Uí
Dúnlainge), king of Airthir Liphi, d. 832 [AU] [R.117d=BB.138a (Rw.18,
CGH.14); LL337f (CGH.423)]
4385-4415. Unknown.
4416. Anluan mac Mathgamna (of In Déis Tuaiscirt [Dál Cais])
[R.152b=LL.322f (Rw.1273-4, CGH.237); R.154a=LL.336d=Lec.225Rb
(Rw.1359, CGH.250)]
4417-4431. Unknown.
4432. Flaithnia mac Fiangalaig (of Uí Briúin Seóla) [BB.90b]

Dúnlainge), king of Laigin, d. 795 [AU] [R.117c=LL.337d=BB.138a
(Rw.11, CGH.13)]
4481. Unknown. [Note: Bran was married to Ethne, who also d. 795
(AU), daughter of Domnall, king of Mide (Meath), but it is unknown if
she was Muiredach's mother.]
4482. Indellach mac Meic [F]orb[b]a (of Uí Telláin Roirend) [WUD]
[Note: His name is given as "Findellbach" in the BB version of WUD.]
4483. Fidcossa [WUD]
4484-6289. Unknown or duplicated.
6290. Owain ap Maredudd, d. 811 [AC] [HG.2: "Ouein map Margetiud"]

king of Laigin, d. 785 [AU] [R.117d=BB.138a (Rw.18, CGH.14); LL337f
(CGH.423)]
8769-8831. Unknown.

[R.152b=LL.322f (Rw.1272-3, CGH.237); R.154a=LL.336d=Lec.225Rb
(Rw.1359, CGH.250)]

12580. Maredudd ap Tewdws, king of Dyfed, d. 796 [AC] [HG.2:

the earliest contemporary entry in the Annales Cambriae, the earlier
entries having been inserted in the annals at a later date, based on
sources whose exact nature is a matter of debate.]
12581-16383. Unknown or duplicated.
