THE FAMILY OF EDWIN OF TEGEINGL
Ancestry of Edwin
Seeks to show through land holdings that Edwin was NOT descended
from the Deheubarth family of Hywel Dda, but from the Powys family of Lles Llyddog
Owain ap Edwin and the Traitor charges
Discusses the eldest son of Edwin and the bogus label of
"Traitor" applied to him by medieval writers who championed Gruffudd ap Cynan and the family of Rhodri Mawr
The "Ednowain Bendew II" of medieval pedigrees
Argues the chronology points to a birthdate of this man c.
1050, that the first two generations of his family are omitted from most extant pedigrees, and that he was probably Owain
ap Edwin but his name was deliberately obscured by his descendants.
Uchdryd ap Edwin, the younger son
Sets forth a valid reason why this man was given lands in
Cyfeiliog and Meirionydd by Cadwgan ap Bleddyn, rejecting the notion it was simply because they were cousins.
Aldud ap Owain
Charts the early family of this man and suggests he was an
adopted son of Owain whose birthname is unknown, but whose nickname "y alltud" was corrupted to Aldud.
Maredudd and Philip ap Uchdryd
Shows by family timelines that this Uchdryd was not the son
of Edwin, but probably his grandson. And since the descendants of Philip ap Uchdryd are found in Cyfeiliog, we suggest
it was Uchdryd ap Uchdryd ap Edwin who fathered Maredudd and Philip. Also identifies a second Philip ap Uchdryd a generation
later than the first.
