      KINSHIP: Conflict/Error> Lloyd's 'History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog' volume 1 page 108 gives him three illegitimate sons: Hywel, Cadwgon, and Maredudd. It also gives him a daughter Jane who married Iorwerth ap Trahaearn, Lord of Cydewen. Page 110 gives him three illegitimate sons: Hywel, Cadwgon, and Adda.
      MARRIAGE: Conflict/Error> Griffith's 'Pedigrees of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Families' page 284 gives him as wife Annes ferch Rhydderch ap Rhys ap Tewdwr "Mawr".
      REIGN: Conflict/Error> Griffith's 'Pedigrees of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Families' page 331 states Prince of Powys 1105-1130.
    • TITLES: Accession> to Powys circa 1116. (Fryde, Handbook of British Chronology, p. 54)
      TITLES: Prince of Powys, 1105-1130. (Lloyd, History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog, vol. 1 p. 109)

      LIVING: 1101> Maredudd was betrayed into the hands of Henry I "Beauclerc", by the treachery of his brother Iorwerth "Gôch". (Lloyd, History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog, vol. 1 p. 92)
      LIVING: 1105> after having been imprisoned by Henry I, for four years, he escaped, and regained possession of Powys. (Lloyd, History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog, vol. 1 p. 100)
      LIVING: 1110> Maredudd gave Madog ap Rhirid to Owain ap Cadwgon, who pulled out his eyes and set him at liberty. (Lloyd, History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog, vol. 1 p. 102)

      REMARKS: The term King can be misleading. In Wales till the middle of the 12th century individuals were styled 'Brenin' meaning chief or high one, and 'Arglwydd' meaning lord or master.
