| Griffith shows Llewelyn as married twice, first to Tanglwst (mother of Gruffydd & Gwladus) then to Joan (mother of David, Gwenllion, Helen & Margaret), with one illegitimate child (Tegwared). However, Tangwst (perhaps more commonly spelt Tangwystsl) is more widely identified as his mistress rather than his wife. Wikipedia reports that Llywelyn was survived by 9 children, 2 definitely legitimate (Dafydd & Elen), 1 probably legitimate (Gwladus), and 6 illegitimate. Wikipedia also reports that the mother of some of the illegitimate children is uncertain but Tangwysstl was certainly mother of Gruffydd and probably mother of most of the others. Various sources show Joan as mother of various of the other children but we suspect that this was often 'wishful thinking' to give an additional connection to the Kings of England. The following is an attempt to make the best of this. | |||||||||||||||
| m(1). Gwenllian (dau of Endyfed Vychan, Lord of Brynffenigl) | |||||||||||||||
| This marriage is reported by BE1883 (Tudor of Richmond) & 'RoyalData' but we are not convinced that it ever took place. | |||||||||||||||

| H. | Ievan mentioned by 'RoyalData' | ||||||||||||||
| 'RoyalData' shows Ievan as father of Gwenllian who married Hwfa ap Kendrig and had a daughter Angharad who married Kendrig ap Iorwerth of Brynffenigl and was mother of Ednyfed Vychan. However, we believe that that was a confusion with another Hwfa. | |||||||||||||||

| i. | Adlais apparently of this generation | ||||||||||||||
| m. Sir Tudor of Nant and Llangynhafal | |||||||||||||||
| 3. | Gwenlian of Gwynedd | H | |||||||||||||
| Griffith (and 'RoyalData') shows Gwenlian as married to Gruffydd ap Rhys but, unless it was a different Gwenlian, it seems that she first married ... | |||||||||||||||

| m2. Gruffydd ap Rhys ap Tewdwr, Lord of South Wales (d 1137) | H | ||||||||||||||
| 4. | Susanna of Gwynedd | HJY | |||||||||||||
| Griffith shows Susanna as married to Reinalt, King of Man, but adds that "in some books" she is shown as married to Madog ap Meredyth, of Powys. Provisionally, we follow that latter suggestion which is supported by 'RoyalData'. | |||||||||||||||
| m. Madog ap Meredydd, Prince of Powys (d 1160) | HJY | ||||||||||||||
