Ednyfed Vychan ap Kendrig, Lord of Brynffenigl (a 1200, d 1233?, Chief Counsellor) - continued above§W§ (T1)
(1) Griffith reports that Endyfed married twice: m1. Gwenllian; m2. Eva aka Tanglwst. BE1883 shows the marriages the other way round (calling the first wife Tangwystyr, dau of Llowarch ap Bran, Lord of Menai). WBO does not name Ednyfed's wives. We initially followed BE1883 but, after a review in September 2009, now follow Griffith but note that Griffith (pp106&162) shows Ednyfed (d 1233) whilst we have seen Gwenllian shown as died in 1236. We may yet reverse the marriages again.
(2) BE1883 shows Tangwystyl as mother of Tudor, Llewellyn, Kendrig, Rhys (mentioned twice, apparently in error), Howel, Iorwerth, Angharad & Gwenllian and Gwenllian as mother of Grono & Griffith. We follow the allocation shown in 'Griffth's Pedigrees' but note that Gwenllian is often identified as mother of most of Ednyfed's sons.
