Biography

Gruffydd[1] /Gruffudd[2] ap Yr Arglwydd Rhys was the son of Yr Arglwydd Rhys[3] and his wife Gwenllian ferch Madog ap Cynfyn ap Gwerystan ap Gwaithfoed.[2]

In 1189, he married Matilda (Mawd) de Braose, the daughter of William de Braose and his wife Mathilde de Saint-Valéry.[4]

Gruffydd had at least five children and at least two sons were with Mawd:[2][1]

  • Rhys "Ieuanc" ap Gruffydd, d. Aug 1222; had a son
  • Owain ap Gruffydd, b. Abt 1190, d. 18 Jan 1236, Strata Florida Abbey, Cardiganshire, Wales (Age ~ 46 years); m. a daughter of Gwion Sais
  • Lleuca, married Geoffery de Camville[5]

The mother of these three children is not certain[2], and the last two are not shown in the FamilySearch Welsh database:

  • Lleuca/Lleucu, m. Madog Foel
  • Lleuca/Lleucu, m. Llowdden y Gath ap Rhys ap Llowdden Hen
  • Cydifor

Gruffydd ap Rhys died "within a month of his brother"[4] on 25 July 1201.[6]

Douglas Richardson, in his 2013 Royal Ancestry series, presents his analysis of evidence concluding that the Lleucu who married Geoffery de Camville is the daughter of Gruffudd ap Rhys and his wife Maud, not the daughter of Maud's parents, "William de Brewes (or Brause) and Maud de Saint Valery."

Ap Rhys-53 and Of Wales-25 appear to represent the same person because: these profiles were intended to be the same person. ap Rhys is the correct LNAB per Cymru project standards. Please merge. thanks!
