I101297: EVA ap Rhys (ABT 1440

Notes

Father: Rhys ap Llewelyn Mother: Gwenllian ap Ieuan

Efa, daughter of Rhys Ddu was the son of Llewelyn ap Kydwgan (or Cadwgan), of Carog, Llanddeiniol (by Gladys, daughter of Mareydd Vychan, of Blaen Trean, in the parish of Llan y Beddair, Carmarthenshire), ap Kydwgan ap Kydwgan Vawr ap Richard ap Rhys, of Pont y Chan, ap Rhys (Rys) ap Rhydderch, of Castle Howel, descended from Kydivor (Kydifor) ap Dyfnwal, of Castle Howel, Cardinganshire, an officer under the "Lord Rhys", and who took by escalade the castle of Cardigan for that prince, subsequently marrying his daughter, Katherine. The wife of Kydwgan Vawr was Efa, daughter of Einion Saia, by Peredar his wife, descended from Rhys Gryg, son of the Lord Rhys.

(Welsh Founders of Pennsylvania, Thomas Allen Glenn,p 127 - 130)

Iuean ap Einion, of Efionydd, father of Gwenllian, wife of Rhys Ddu, was party to a deed dated, at Wheeloc, on the next Friday after Easter, 12 Rich. II. [23 April, 1389], and her brother, Madog, was party to a deed dated 10 Hen. V. (1415).

This Ieuan ap Einion was of Bron y Foel, in the parish of St. Catherine, in Efionydd, and is mentioned in Symond's Switzerland as a valiant Welshman who had defended Henry of Transtamare and the Throne Castile against the Black Prince, in the 39th and 40th years of Edw. III. (1366), and who afterwards accompanied Enguerrad de Coucy (son-in-law of the English King) in his expedition against the Duke of Austria, under pretence of demanding the dower due him (Enguerrad) in right of his mother. [MS. Pedigree of Nannau; note by Meyrick to Dwnn, ii., 93-4, n.8.]

Ieuan had a brother, Howel, called Sir Howel y fwyall, or of the battle axe, who was distinquished for his prowess in the wars in France, in the time of Edward III. His countrymen have ever competed for him, with Denis de Morbeque, the honour of taking the French king prisoner. "This Howel." observes John Wynn in his "History of the Gwydir Family", was knighted at the field of Poyctiers, and by our countrymen is reported to have taken the French King; but, however it was, he did such service there that the Prince bestowed a messe of meate, to be served up dayly during his life, before his battle axe, which after was bestowed on the poor, whereof he was called Sir Howel y fwyall."

Einion ap Gruffydd, of Bron y Foel, the father of these brothers, is named as
one of the heirs of "Wele Gogan in the villes of Whyloc" (Chwilog), Glasvryn,
in the extent of the commot of Eivionydd, taken at Cricciaeth, and was High
Sheriff of the Counties of Carnarvon and Merioneth. For the former he appears
to have held the office in the 29th year of Edw. III, and for life. [Note of
Meyrick to Dwnn, ii, 93, n. 6] Eionion ap Gwgan ap Maredydd ap Collwyn ap
Tango, lord of Lleyn.

The wife of Einion ap Gruffydd was Nest, daughter and heiress of Gruffydd ap
Adda, of Dolgoch, Merionethshire, Raglor (governor) of the commot of
Estimaner, 3 and 7 Edw. III., whose tomb, on which is his effigy in armour, remains in
the church of Towyn.*1. He was the owner of Ynys y Maengwyn and other great
estates in Estimaner and Ardudwy.

The wife of Ieuen ap Einion was Gwenhwyfar, daughter of Meuric Llwyd (or
Lloyd) ap Meuric ap Ynyr ap Ynyr, of Nannau, Merionetshire, descended from Bleddyn
ap Cynfyn, Prince of Powys. [Dwnn, ii, 93] This Ynyr ap Ynyr (or Ynyr
Vychan), lord of Nannau, presented a petition to Edward, Prince of Wales, at
Kensington, 33 Edw. I. (1304 - 5), for the office of Raglor of the commot of
Talybont, Merionetshire, stating that the king had given it to him for taking Madog ap
Lllewelyn, who, in the last war, had made himself Prince of Wales. The
petition, however, was not granted, as no charter could be shown, and in the
Parliment of 15 and 16 Edw. II. (1322 - 3), he and others were charged with
attacking, on the next Wednesday after the Feast of St. Gregory, in the 15th of Edward
II., the castle of John Grey, at Ruthin, setting fire to the town, and
killing two men. ["Records of Caernarvon", 220; Rolls of Parlt., vol. i, p. 397]

*1 She was also wife to Llewelyn ap Cynric, of Cors y Gedol.
