CYNAN DINDAETHWY (bu farw 816), prince was, according to the oldest pedigree, the son of Rhodri, a grandson of Cadwaladr (died 664). Inasmuch as Rhodri (usually found with the epithet 'Molwynog') died in 754 and Cynan is first mentioned in 813, this descent is open to question.

He may be the ' David ap

More questionable is the assertion that he was the man in whose house the famous Tripartite Indenture was signed. According to the chronicler Hall, the sole authority for the place of
