NOTES:
[1] Elystan Glodrydd, heir of the Buellt Dynasty, took the neighboring
kingdom of Fferlys from the king of Brycheiniog c. 1020. The latter's ancestors had taken it earlier from ancestors
of Elystan. The early claims that his godfather was Aethelstan, king of Wessex, are a myth; the latter died over 50 years
before Elystan was born
[2] The marriage of Cadwgan with a lady of the First Powys Dynasty was arranged
by Elystan in his alliance with the king of Powys, his powerful neighbor to the north
[3] Einion Hen (called "the old" since his son was also named Einion) lived at
Mochdre in Ceri. Both names suffered scribal corruption into "Einion Penn of Morchier". Einion's line became extinct
with his granddaughters and his half of Mochdre eventually went to Llewelyn, son of Einion Hen's brother Madog Fychan.

heiress and combined the two manors
