Families covered: Lords (Princes) of Dyfed, Lord of Garthmael, Lords of Yale

                               
Commoners reports "This family was established in the shire of Montgomery so early as the middle of the sixth century." The "first on record" was the following Meirig. Most of this top section is supported by (with some contradiction from) Griffith's Pedigrees (Cae'r Berllan, p363). We show the name given by Commoners and then (after "=") that given by Griffith.
Meirig = Meyrick, King of Dyfed
1. Sawl = Saul Felyn
  Griffith shows the undermentioned Seisyllt as son of Cynfyn Cynan Cynhysgwydd ap Saul Felyn ap Meyrick, thereby disagreeing with the next two generations shown by Commoners.
  A. Lynam
i. Llewelyn
  a. Sessyltt = Seisyllt
  (1) Lowarch = Llawrodd Dyfed
  (A) Collwyn, prince of Demeca or Dimetia = Collwyn
  (i) Gwyn, prince of Dyfed = Gwyn
  (a) Gwrgant =Gwrgan
  Griffith shows these generations the other war around with Ifor being father of Gwrgan. It is of course possible that Ifor was another son of Gwyn and that he was father of Ifor father of Llewelyn father of Gruffydd.
  ((1)) Ivor = Ifor
((A)) Llewellyn = Llewelyn
  ((i)) Cadwgan = Cadwgan
  ((a)) Aleth, lord or prince of Dyfed - continued below reported by Commoners
  m. Nest (Agnes) (dau of Llewellyn ap Gwrgant)
  ((ii)) Gruffydd reported by Griffith
  It is perhaps possible that Commoners had wrongly omitted Gruffydd, or that Griffith had wrongly inserted him, and that Cadwgan Fawr was brother of Aleth.
  ((a)) Cadwgan
  (((1))) Cadwgan Fawr
  (((A))) Madog

BLG1886 starts its article with the following: "The Walcots derive their descent from one of the ancient septs of Wales, and their surname from the marriage of an ancestor with the heiress of the knightly House of Walcot. They were seated at Walcot, Salop, from time immemorial ... the family is said to be of Saxon origin."
