Biography
Birth and Parents
Willard ap Rhys was born in 967 and died in 1052. [1]
Willard was born about 0967. Willard ap Rhys ... He passed away about 1052. [2]
He was the son of Rhys ap Twedwdwr (917-993) and Morfydd verch Yhngr. [1]
Marriage
He married Angharad ferch Maredydd. [1]
Issue
He was the father of Gerardo Gherardini, Lord of Tuscan (986-1075) , born in Florence, Tuscany Italy 986, married Sancia de la Cerda, and died in Picardy, France, in 1075. [1] It seems quite surprising that a Welsh family would be in Florence giving birth to someone who grew up with an Italian name and without further connection to Wales.Day-1904 15:50, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
Research on the profile of Walter FitzOther also addresses a potentially fake connection to Gerado Gherardini.
The Wikipedia article on the Gherardini family mentions a relationship with the FitzGeralds, without specifying the relationship. [3]
