MAREDUDD ab OWAIN ab EDWIN (bu farw 1072), king of Deheubarth He stood five generations from Hywel Dda and was second cousin in the senior line to Rhys ap Tewdwr. When Gruffudd ap Llywelyn fell in 1063, the old dynasty was restored under his leadership. His reign coincides with the first impact of the Norman conquest on South Wales. After a brief and unequal struggle, he acquiesced in the conquest of the border lands of Gwent and was rewarded by grants of
MAREDUDD ab OWAIN ap HYWEL DDA (bu farw 999), king of Deheubarth He succeeded his aged father as sole ruler of Deheubarth in 986, and in the same year repeated the achievement of his grandfather by reuniting Gwynedd and Deheubarth for the period of his reign. In spite of domestic disharmony, he impressed contemporaries by his bold and aggressive leadership against Saxon and Dane. His greatest claim to fame rests, perhaps, on his relationship to Gruffudd ap
MAREDUDD ap GRUFFYDD ap RHYS (1130 - 1155), prince of Deheubarth Eldest son of Gruffydd ap Rhys by Gwenllian, daughter of Gruffudd ap Cynan. Six years old when his father died in 1137, he came into prominence at 16 assisting an older half-brother, Cadell, in freeing southern Ceredigion of the Normans, and in defending the recently captured fortress of Carmarthen. In 1151 he took a leading part in driving the men of Gwynedd back beyond the Dovey, and in the
MEILYR BRYDYDD (fl. c . 1100-1137), chief court-poet to Gruffudd ap Cynan at Aberffraw. He is considered the earliest of the 'Gogynfeirdd.' Meilyr, and Gwalchmai (his son), and his grand-children, appear to be the likeliest known instance in Wales of a line of hereditary poets, as was usual in Ireland, holding land in return for their eulogies of a particular line of rulers. Trefeilyr and Trewalchmai remain as place-names in Anglesey. Sir J. Morris
MEREDUDD ap RHYS (fl. 1450-1485), gentleman, cleric, and poet Gruffudd ap Madog Llwyd [ap Gruffudd] ap Iorwerth Foel ap Iorwerth Fychan ab Iorwerth Hen … ap Rhys Sais … ap Tudur Trefor. Other manuscripts connect his great-grandfather, Madog Llwyd of Plas Nanheudwy, and his father Rhys ap Gruffudd, with Plas Halchdun - Halkyn near Chirk probably. But Meredudd lived at Ruabon in Welsh Maelor, where he was the parish priest - in 1430, according to the historian of the
MORGAN ap HYWEL (fl. 1210-1248), Welsh lord of Gwynllwg or Caerleon under the earls of Gloucester (lords of Glamorgan), a descendant of Rhydderch ap Iestyn ap Gwrgant. It may be useful to enter under his name a note on his family, compiled from Lloyd, A History of Wales (see the genealogy on p. 771 of that work). Caradog ap Gruffudd, grandson of Rhydderch ap Iestyn, was killed in the battle of Mynydd Cam (1081). By 1140 we hear of Caradog's son, OWAIN AP CARADOG

A number of his poems to Gruffudd Dwn (of Ystrad Merthyr) and his family are also found, two of them being in holograph (Llanstephan MS 40 (73, 74)). He was buried
MORGAN HEN ab OWAIN (bu farw 975), king of Morgannwg Gwent (see Morgan Mwynfawr), though territories were lost to Dyfed on the western borders. He died at an advanced age, his realm passing to his descendants until his great-great grandson, Meurig, was deprived of Morgannwg by Gruffudd ap Llywelyn.
