Some genealogies have the one wife, Elen Ceindrech ferch Rheiden, daughter of the Khymric King Rheiden and attribute all the children to her.

The town of Caernarvon was apparently built by Wledig (Maxentius) in honour of Ellen who was born nearby.

St Helena of the Host (Elen Lwyddog) was daughter of Octavius the Old (Eudaf Hen)

3. Unknown ferch Gwrtheyrn b.~400 begat:
   • Fausrus, Bishop of Riez, b.~416 d.490

This man is not one to be proud of as an ancestor, gaining the label "the most hated man in Britain".
His ancestry can be traced back to Beli Mawr "the Great" High King of Britain in ~110BC.
It is possible "Vortigern" was a term held by Vorteneu and Britu - see Vortigern=Overlord).

Rowena (Alis Ronwen) was daughter of Hengest King of Kent.

The unnamed "Unknown ferch Gwrtheyrn" is generally accepted as being Vortigern's own daughter, and this incestuous relationship sealed his fate with St Germanicus. [73]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Cadell Ddyrnllwg b.~430 and
   • Rhyddfedd Frych (the Freckled) (Rydd Feddwl) b.~435 [begat Gwynfyr b.~472 and Rydwf, father of Pasken, father of Kadell Deyrnllyg, King of Powis [574], [671].

1. St.Gwelfyl (or Gwdfil or Gwawrddydd) ferch Brychan b.~438 (439) begat:
   • 8 sons & 2 daughters incl
   • St.Tegid ap Cadell b.~468 [m.Gwawr ferch Ceredig. They were ancestors of St Beuno to whom the churches of Berriew and Bettws are dedicated [391]]

   • Ystradwel b.~474
   • Ddewer b.476 and
   • Brochwel

St.Gwelfyl (or Gwdfil) was the daughter of St.Brychan Brycheiniog (King of Brycheiniog) and Prawst ferch Tudwal (princess of Dumnonia). King Brychan had 24 or 25 daughters and 11 sons: -Cynog from raping princess Banhadlwedd (daughter of Benadel {Banadl}, King of Powys), the rest from three wives, Prawst, Rhybrawst and Eurbrawst. One daughter, Gwladys, was abducted by King Gwynllyw of Gwynllwg, leading to a war stopped by the intervention of High-King Arthur.

There is debate about the origin of Cadell, * See Cadell but not as the actual ancestor of the royal line of Powys.

1. St.Tangwyst (Tanglwst, Tydwall, Tudglid, Tangwstl) ferch Brychan b.~470 begat:
   • Sannan ferch Cyngen b.498 [m. King Maelgwn of Gwynedd]

   • Ieuaf (Ieuav [400]) b.~508 and
   • Cadell b.~510.

Founder of the famous Monks' College of Bangor-Is-coed. Some considered him a tyrant - "Civil War also in Powys due to the tyranny of King Cyngen Glodrydd" [11].

St.Tangwyst (Tanglwst, Tydwall, Tudglid, Tangwstl) ferch Brychan was Queen of Wales, daughter (or grand-daughter) of Brychan of Brecknock (Briton).

1. Arddyn Benasgel (Arddun Penasgell or "Ben Asgell") b.~510 begat:
   • Cynan Garwyn b.~545; d.613
   • St Tysilio (Tissiliau) (548-640) founded a hermitage on Church Island, the Abbey at Meifod & a monastery at St. Suliac, France. See *
   • Mawn ~551
   • Iago ~554 m.Haiarmé [65]
   • Broniarth d.613 (Battle of Derva)
   • Deuddwr d.613 (Battle of Derva)
   • Mathew Hen. Lord of Arwystli & Cyveiliog and
   • Enghenel [400]

* It is probable that Brochfael's first son was Tysilio but he was bypassed for the crown because he was a pacifist. Legend has it that Tysilio fled to France to escape the matrimonial intentions of his widowed sister-in-law, Queen Gwenwynwyn after the death of Cynan! He features in several church and place names in North Wales including the longest UK place name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch [Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave].

"The greatest of the princes of the line of Vortigern" and claimed ancestor of the Blayney Lords, * See Brochfael.

This Brochfael was NOT the Brocmail mentioned by Bede as a coward at the battle of Chester [343] (he would have had to be 111 years old for this to be possible!). J E Lloyd also notes that the “Brocmail” (Brochwel) and his men who fled from Æthelfrith's massacre of the twelve hundred monks of Bangor could "hardly be Brochwel Ysgythrog, ruler of Powys, for his grandson, Selyf Sarffgadau ap Cynan, was slain in this very battle". [218].

Arddyn (Arddun) Benasgell (Baunasgell) [the wing-headed], was the daughter of King St Pabo Post Prydain ab Arthwys "The Pillar of Britain" or "The Pillar of Pictland", b~474 d.530. This Saint was a direct descendant of "Old King Coel" [50]. Her brother was Dunawd, Abbot of the monestery of Bangor Iscoed. Dol Arddun co. Montgomeryshire named for her.

1. Gwenwynwyn of The Scots b~565(575) [11] begat:
   • Selyf (Selyw) Sarffgadau b.~586
   • Eiludd ap Cynan b.588 (552) possible father of Beli

   • Afandreg Ddu [b.~594(84) m. Cadfan ab Iago b.569 or 580 d.625 King of Gwynedd begat: Cadwallon ap Cadfan]

May have died at the Battle of Derva (Chester) 613.

Afandreg's son Cadwallon ap Cadfan has also been claimed as a Blayney ancestor, but here he is only a cousin to ancestor Selyf Sarffgadau.

See a fuller account of Cadwallon and Cadwalladr

Object of a satire by Taliesin [42], one of the oldest poems in thte Welsh language.[208]

Gwenwynwyn of The Scots has a link to and Prince Arthur of Argyll (Prince of Scotland) b.559, d.603

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Manwgan (Mael Myngan) b.~610 and
   • Saint Dona (Dwna) of Graffyhoed (Anglesey) [65], [399] [693]
   • Eiludd Powys ap Selyf b.~613
   • [?also Cynddylan b.~615 and
   • Heledd [29] ]

Selyf was described as a cunning leader and called the "Serpent of Meigen". He was killed at the Battle of Caer-Legion (Battle of Derva [Chester]) [~AD613] by Æthelfrith (Aethelferth), King of Northumbria. [218]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Beli

Not all accounts include this name and some confuse him as King instead of his brother Manwgan, while others have him as Eiludd ap Cynan [65]. Said to have erected a memorial stone to his father at Llattysilio-yn-Ial showing his full pedigree [29].

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Gweliawg (=Gwylog)

The ab Eiludd surname suggests Beli was the son of Eiludd ap Selyf, not Manwgan [19], [20] & [27] or Eiludd ap Cynan [31], [65], although that would be unlikely, given Eiludd ap Cynan died 22 years before Beli was born! However, all all are directly in line from Brochfael Yagythrog. Beli is Not related to the usurper Eiludd ap Cyndrwyn.

1. Sannan (Sanant) ferch Nowy (Nougoy) b.~660 begat:
   • Eliseg (Elisedd) b.~695

Sannan was dau of Nowy (Nougoy) Hen ab Arthwyr, King of Dyfed (b~605)

The dates around this time are often assumed and it is postulated that one or two generations of Powys rulers have been lost, given this was a time of massive upheaval, starting at the Battle of Chester in 613 to the recovery of Powys under Elisedd in 725. [54]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Brochfael b.~720
   • Cyngen b~725
   • St. Enghenedd b~725 and
   • Sannan b~730 [m. Nowy Hen (the Old) King of Brycheiniog]

See description of The Pillar of Eliseg. Expelled the English from Powys & annexed land for Powys. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles mention the fighting in 753 [51]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Cadell b.745(50); d.808
   • Cyngen b.750, suggested as possible father of Aeddan ap Cyngen by Darrell Wolcott [60] but despite various alternate birth dates for Aeddan, this is not chronologically possible.

Darrell Walcott has a succession of 715 Brochwel II, 750 Cyngen, 785 Aeddan, 820 Brochwel, 850 Selyf, 880 ??Aeddan, 910 ??Brochwal, 945 ??Selyf, 980 Beli, 1015 Gruffudd, 1050 Gywn, 1080 Tangwre and 1100 Gwledyr. [60] [60a]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Cyngen b.775(8); d.856 and
   • Nesta (Nest) Ferch Cadel b.780 [m. Merfyn (Frych) Ap Gwriad "the Freckled" (784-844) (King of Gwynedd) whose pedigree traces back to Cadwallon ap Cadfan and they begat Rhodri Mawr (Roderick the Great) ap Merfyn, the first Prince of Wales (b.809 d.878).] Other genealogies have Nest b.742 married to Gwriad ab Elidir b.738, parents of Merfyn Frych and grandparents of Rhodri Mawr. [65]

Cadel was the son or grandson of Elisau ab Cynllaw (according to different records), whom he succeeded in the principality in A. D. 773 [390]

In 778 Offa [of Mercia] devastates the South Britons [9]. Offa drove Cadell from his capital (Pengwern), renaming it Scrobsbyrig (Town in the Scrub), later Shrewsbury. The new capital was in Montgomeryshire near Meifod. The new border still bears the name Offa's Dyke [398]. Cadell remained the ruler of Powys during Cenwulf's oppressive reign of Mercia, but died before Cenwulf's invasion of Wales.

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Elisedd (Elise) ap Cyngen b.~800 A theory by S P Thomas inserts a couple of generations here to account for the large gap [572]
     • Cyngen + unknown spouse begat:
         • Aeddan
     
   • Ieuaf ap Cyngen b~802
   • Aeddan ap Cyngen b~804 or 808 (814) 855 and
   • Gryffydd ap Cyngen b.~806 or 780 d.814 (killed by Elisedd [9]). As he had 4 children, Maun, Maig, Artan & Ieuaf, the second birthdate is more probable!!

By 822 the Saxons largely control Powys [9], and the 823 entry in the Brut y Tywysogyon tersely reports "the Saxons....took the kingdom of Powys for their own" [60a], indicating Powys was probably forced to pay some form of tribute [60a]. Cyngen managed to regain control from the Mercians but in 830 Egbert led an army through Mercia into north Wales to subdue the resurgent Cyngen Ap Cadell. His devastation was so effective that Cyngen may well have been forced to regard Egbert as his overlord. [55] However, about 850 Cyngen builds a 12 foot Pillar of Eliseg (Elisedd or Elise), near Llangollen to recount (in Latin) his pedigree and victories, as well as his g-grandfather Elisedd's reclamation of Powysian territory from the English.
Cyngen was the last native king of Powys. Some claim he had been a weak ruler (or perhaps a puppet ruler), so he abdicated or was laid aside in favour of his "iron fisted" sister Nesta thus merging the crowns of Powys and Gwynedd. He was murdered while on a pilgrimage in Rome by his own servants [34] in 854, [36] so as Mervyn the freckled had been killed fighting the English also in 854, Nesta's son, Rhodri Mawr became sovereign-paramount of Wales, reigning 854-878 (Rhodri the Great).

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • ? Cadweithian b?815, possible Saxon regent in Powys, ?expelled 863 by brother Brochwell [60a]
   • Brochwell b.838 or 855 or ~930

Killed by brother Elisweg (Elisedd) who never inherited either because the throne passed through Nesta Ferch Cadell to her son Rhodri Mawr or the invading Mercians set up a puppet (?Cadweithian).

An alternative proposal by S P Thomas is that Elisweg (Elise) had a son Cyngen who was the father of Aeddan ap Cyngen b.930 [65] [572]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Selyf ap Brochwel b.850 (?960), ancestor of Sir Gruffudd Fychan
   • Gwaeddan b.855, 965 [67]
   • Rhodri b.855 (?twin) (b~1000) [60a]
   • Jane ferch Brochwel b~970 m.Cadwgan ab Elystan Glodrydd [68] (3rd wife [70]). Jane is therefore possibly the same person as Margaret
   • Margaret fil Brochwel b~977 m. Cadwgon (Kadogawn, Cadogan) ab Elystan Lord of Radnor, Builth, Cery & Cedewain b?975 [49] (2nd or 3rd wife).
   • Ellen b.868 m. Cadwgan ab Elystan of Builth [48]
   • ?Cadell ap Brochwel see at right

Born in Powys

It is also possible that Cadell ap Brochwel ab Aeddon should be listed as a son here and that he had a daughter Nest who married Gwerystan ap Gwaethfoed and they had Cynfyn ~985. His sons Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn (d.1070) and Bleddyn ap Cynfyn (b~1025 d.1075) subsequebtly regained the kingship of Powys (in 1069) after the death of their half-brother King Gruffudd ap Llewelyn in 1063 [59], [218] [336]. This Bleddyn was the ancester to the Lords of Nannau.

It is interesting to note that Elizabeth Lloyd, the wife of John Blayney (Resposible for the 1636 ornate oak carving in the Gregynog "Blayney Room"), was descended from Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn and the Rhiwallon heraldic "lion rampant" is on one quarter of John & Elizabeth's Coat of Arms.
