 Gwriad of Unknown 1)Notes: Stewart Baldwin's documented genealogy for the early Welsh kings suggests Gwriad may have been of the Isle of Man: "probably from the Isle of Man, and possibly the person named on an inscription ("CRUX GURIAT") on a cross in the Isle of Man which has been dated to the eighth or ninth century. [Note: The genealogy which purports to make Gwriad a direct male-line descendant of Llywarch Hen is almost certainly a late fabrication. It is more likely that his paternal ancestors were among those who are named in HG.4, but the exact line of descent (if any) is uncertain, and Gwriad's parentage must be regarded as unknown." Married/ Related to:  Ethyllt ferch Cynan of Gwynedd 1)Daughter of Cynan Dindaethwy of Gwynedd, King of Gwynedd and N.N.. Notes: Stewart Baldwin explains that Ethyllt is Merfyn's mother as opposed to his wife: "The best and earliest sources give her as the mother of Merfyn Frych. Later sources erroneously assign her as Merfyn's wife." Child: 1. Merfyn Frych ap Gwriad of Gwynedd, King of Gwynedd 1)Died 844 Notes: Merfyn Frych ('Merfyn the Freckled'; Old Welsh Mermin), also known as Merfyn ap Gwriad ('Merfyn son of Gwriad') and Merfyn Camwri ('Merfyn the Oppressor'),[1] was King of Gwynedd from around 825 to 844, the first of its kings known not to have descended from the male line of Cunedda. | |||
