Owain ap Bleddyn has a son Gruffydd, but not the Gruffydd who is attached here. Gruffydd ap Owain Brogyntyn lived 200 years earlier. I propose to detach Gruffydd and attach him to the correct parent, which will resolve some of the ate issues.

His birth year is too late. He wasn't born to a 62-year-old mother. See Darrell Wolcott's http://www.ancientwalesstudies.org/id224.html.
