Biography

Married Maredudd Gethin and had two children before 1201:

1. Gwenllian
2. Gruffudd

Hywel of Caerleon is cited as having two daughters named Gwenllian, one who married Gwilym ap Aeddan of Gwent Uwch Coed and one who married Maredudd Gethin. The latter is usually called "Gwenllian Fychan", but it is possible these were two marriages by the same lady. Widowed young with small children, a single Gwenllian might have been matched with a young Gwent nobleman soon after the death of Maredudd Gethin. ^[1]
