Discusses problems with the traditional pedigree of the only Anglesey family
among the men descended from Tudwal Gloff
Hedd ap Alunog of Llanfair Talhearn
Proposes corrections to the standard pedigree of the
man sometimes called "Hedd Molwynog" and who resided at Tudwal Gloff's former manor in Uwch Aled, Rhufoniog
Meuter Fawr, Son of Hedd
Performs a chronological analysis of one family and
concludes, among other things, that "Meuter" was not a male birth name but a corrupt spelling of "meudwy" meaning "recluse"
Einion ap Celynin of Llwydiarth
Detailed discussion of a family branch which relocated
from southwest Wales to Powys, but probably not at the time nor for the reasons given by most historians
Llewelyn ap Hoedliw, Lord of Is Cerdin
Suggests this descendant of Tudwall Gloff also descended
maternally from the Royal Family of Ceredigion, which failed in the male line in the early 11th century
Selyf, Brennin Dyfed
Discusses two men called Selyf, the first of which
was born in Dyfed but relocated to the far corner of northeast Ystrad Tywy in 1093, where he had married an heiress set to
inherit a fortune in land. The second Selyf was his grandson, who began a multi-generation copying of male birth names
first used by the senior line of his family
Llowdden Hen of Uwch Aeron
Identifies and dates 4 men named Llowdden in this
extended family, all of which named a son Rhys, and 3 of those Rhys named a son Ieuan. Also isolates 3 different men
named Rhys Fongam in this family.
