  Fausta was the daughter of Maximus Galerius Daia

This link unproven, but postulated by many historians and genealogists including: Adrian Gilbert [351], Vermaat [37], JDA's Family Tree (a) [49] and Ancestry.com [25]

Flavius was executed on false charge of adultery but prior to their deaths, Crispus and Fausta arranged for their child to be sent away to Spain.

Elen/Helena's marriage to Maximianus (Magnus Maximus) united the British and Roman crowns with her father Octavius (Eudaf Hen) then abdicating the throne in favour of Maximianus. [1567]

* See more on Magnus Maximus *

Western Roman Emperor from 383-388 and hero of Britain. He was held in the highest respect by the British, unlike his son-in-law Vortigern.

Some genealogies have the one wife, Elen Ceindrech ferch Rheiden, daughter of the Khymric King Rheiden and attribute all the children to her.

The town of Caernarvon was apparently built by Wledig (Maxentius) in honour of Ellen who was born nearby.

St Helena of the Host (Elen Lwyddog) aka Saint Helen of Caernarfon (in English) was daughter of the Romano-British ruler Octavius the Old (Eudaf Hen). According to the medieval Welsh genealogy from Mostyn MS. 117, Eudaf was a direct ancestor of King Arthur. [1567]
Helena was known as a Saint in the Welsh church but never cannonized by Rome. The "Hosts" reference for Helena is thought to refer to her encouraging her husband Maximianus to construct better roads so armies could provide faster defence.

3. Unknown ferch Gwrtheyrn b.~400 begat:
   • Fausrus, Bishop of Riez, b.~416 d.490

This man is not one to be proud of as an ancestor, gaining the label "the most hated man in Britain".
His ancestry can be traced back to Beli Mawr "the Great" High King of Britain in ~110BC.
It is possible "Vortigern" was a term held by Vorteneu and Britu - see Vortigern=Overlord).

Rowena (Alis Ronwen) was daughter of Hengest King of Kent.

The unnamed "Unknown ferch Gwrtheyrn" is generally accepted as being Vortigern's own daughter, and this incestuous relationship sealed his fate with St Germanicus. [73]

   • Brochwel

St.Gwelfyl (or Gwdfil) was the daughter of St.Brychan Brycheiniog (King of Brycheiniog) and Prawst ferch Tudwal (princess of Dumnonia). King Brychan had 24 or 25 daughters and 11 sons: -Cynog from raping princess Banhadlwedd (daughter of Benadel {Banadl}, King of Powys), the rest from three wives, Prawst, Rhybrawst and Eurbrawst. One daughter, Gwladys, was abducted by King Gwynllyw of Gwynllwg, leading to a war stopped by the intervention of High-King Arthur.

St.Tangwyst (Tanglwst, Tydwall, Tudglid, Tangwstl) ferch Brychan was Queen of Wales, daughter (or grand-daughter) of Brychan of Brecknock (Briton).

   • Deuddwr d.613 (Battle of Derva)
   • Mathew Hen. Lord of Arwystli & Cyveiliog and
   • Enghenel [400]

* It is probable that Brochfael's first son was Tysilio but he was bypassed for the crown because he was a pacifist. Legend has it that Tysilio fled to France to escape the matrimonial intentions of his widowed sister-in-law, Queen Gwenwynwyn after the death of Cynan! He features in several church and place names in North Wales including the longest UK place name - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch [= Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave].

* See more on Brochfael *.

"The greatest of the princes of the line of Vortigern" and claimed ancestor of the Blayney Lords and those arising in Montgomeryshire.

NOTE: This Brochfael was NOT the Brocmail mentioned by Bede as a coward at the battle of Chester [343] (he would have had to be 111 years old for this to be possible!). J E Lloyd also notes that the "Brocmail" (Brochwel) and his men who fled from Æthelfrith's massacre of the twelve hundred monks of Bangor could "hardly be Brochwel Ysgythrog, ruler of Powys, for his grandson, Selyf Sarffgadau ap Cynan, was slain in this very battle". [218].

Arddyn (Arddun) Benasgell (Baunasgell) [the wing-headed], was the daughter of King St Pabo Post Prydain ab Arthwys "The Pillar of Britain" or "The Pillar of Pictland", b~474 d.530. This Saint was a direct descendant of "Old King Coel" [50]. Her brother was Dunawd, Abbot of the monestery of Bangor Iscoed. Dol Arddun co. Montgomeryshire named for her.

1. Gwenwynwyn of The Scots b~565(575) [11] begat:

   • Afandreg Ddu [b.~594(84) m. Cadfan ab Iago b.569 or 580 d.625 King of Gwynedd begat: Cadwallon ap Cadfan]

May have died at the Battle of Derva (Chester) 613.

Afandreg's son Cadwallon ap Cadfan has also been claimed as a Blayney ancestor, although not a direct (paternal) one.

See a fuller account of Cadwallon ap Cadfan and Cadwalladr

Object of a satire by Taliesin [42], one of the oldest poems in the Welsh language.[208]

Gwenwynwyn of The Scots has a link to an Prince Arthur of Argyll (Prince of Scotland) b.559, d.603

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Manwgan (Mael Myngan) b.~610 and
   • Saint Dona (Dwna) of Graffyhoed (Anglesey) [65], [399] [693]
   • Eiludd Powys ap Selyf b.~613
   • [? Cynddylan b.~615 and
   • Heledd [29] ]

Selyf was described as a cunning leader and called the "Serpent of Meigen". He was killed at the Battle of Caer-Legion (Battle of Derva [Chester]) [~AD613] by Æthelfrith (Aethelferth), King of Northumbria and Bernicia. [218]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Beli

Not all accounts include this name and some confuse him as King instead of his brother Manwgan, while others have him as Eiludd ap Cynan [65]. Said to have erected a memorial stone to his father at Llattysilio-yn-Ial showing his full pedigree [29].

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Gweliawg (=Gwylog)

The ab Eiludd surname suggests Beli was the son of Eiludd ap Selyf, not Manwgan [19], [20] & [27] or Eiludd ap Cynan [31], [65], although that would be unlikely, given Eiludd ap Cynan died 22 years before Beli was born! However, all are directly in line from Brochfael Yagythrog. Beli is Not related to the usurper Eiludd ap Cyndrwyn.

1. Sannan (Sanant) ferch Nowy (Nougoy) b.~660 begat:
   • Eliseg (Elisedd) b.~695

  Sannan was dau of Nowy (Nougoy) Hen ab Arthwyr, King of Dyfed (b~605)

The dates around this time are often assumed and it is postulated that one or two generations of Powys rulers have been lost, given this was a time of massive upheaval, starting at the Battle of Chester in 613 to the recovery of Powys under Elisedd in 725. [54]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Brochwel b.~720
   • Cyngen b~725 ?Lord of Guilsfield, Broniarth and Deuddwr and possible father of Aeddan ap Cyngen (proposed by [825])

   • Sannan b~730 [m. Nowy Hen (the Old) King of Brycheiniog]

See description of The Pillar of Eliseg. Expelled the English from Powys & annexed land for Powys. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles mention the fighting in 753 [51]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Cadell b.745(50); d.808
   • Cyngen b.750, most probably father of Aeddan ap Cyngen (proposed by Darrell Wolcott [60] and supported by the Harleian MS [823] where he is "Aeddan ap Cyngen ap Brochwel".

Darrell Walcott has a succession of 715 Brochwel II, 750 Cyngen, 785 Aeddan, 820 Brochwel, 850 Selyf, 880 ??Aeddan, 910 ??Brochwal, 945 ??Selyf, 980 Beli, 1015 Gruffudd, 1050 Gywn, 1080 Tangwre and 1100 Gwledyr. [60] [60a]

1. Unknown spouse ferch Bleddud ap Tegonwy begat:
   • Cadweithian Possible Saxon regent in Powys, ?expelled 863 by brother Brochwel [60a]
   • Brochwel b.820

Killed by brother Elisweg (Elisedd) who never inherited either because the throne passed through Nesta Ferch Cadell to her son Rhodri Mawr or the invading Mercians set up a puppet (?Cadweithian).

An alternative proposal by S P Thomas is that Elisweg (Elisse) had a son Cyngen who was the father of Aeddan ap Cyngen b.930 [65] [572] [825]

1. Unknown spouse begat:
   • Beli ap Brochwel Lord of Guilsfield, Broniarth and Deuddwr
   • Selyf ap Brochwel b.850 (?960),

     ancestor of Sir Gruffudd Fychan
   • Gwaeddan Howell b.855, ?965 [67]
   • Rhodri b.855 (?twin); Ancestor of Meiler Gryg
   • Jane/Margaret ferch Brochwel b~??970 2nd or 3rd wife [70]) of Cadwgan ab Elystan Glodrydd [68] (Cadwgon/Kadogawn/Cadogan/Kydwgan), Lord of Radnor, Builth, Cery & Cedewain b?975 [49]
   • Ellen b.868 m. Cadwgan ab Elystan of Builth [48]
   • ?Cadell ap Brochwel see at right

Born in Powys

It is also possible that Cadell ap Brochwel ab Aeddon should be listed as a son here and that he had a daughter Nest who married Gwerystan ap Gwaethfoed and they had Cynfyn ~985. His sons Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn (d.1070) and Bleddyn ap Cynfyn (b~1025 d.1075) subsequebtly regained the kingship of Powys (in 1069) after the death of their half-brother King Gruffudd ap Llewelyn in 1063 [59], [218] [336]. This Bleddyn was the ancester to the Lords of Nannau.

It is interesting to note that Elizabeth Lloyd, the wife of John Blayney (Resposible for the 1636 ornate oak carving in the Gregynog "Blayney Room"), was descended from Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn and the Rhiwallon heraldic "lion rampant" is on one quarter of John & Elizabeth's Coat of Arms.

Variously put at "about" 19th [229], 16th [40], [337] and now 14th [570] in lineal descent from Brochwel Ysgythrog

I would support the 16th "in lineal descent" as in: Meilir Gryg ap Gruffyd ap Iorworth ap Owain ap Rhodri ap Gwaeddan ap Brochwell ap Aeddan ap Cyngen (not the last King) ap Brochwell ap Eliseg ap Gwylog ap Beli ap Eiludd ap Selyf ap Cynan ap Brochfael Ysgythrog.

Born in Llwyn Melyn (Caerfyrddin, Powys).
Of Twgynon (Tregynon)

Hywel inherited "the Vainor in Berriew" [229]. His son, Phillip (Phylip) Gough (Goch) aka "Rufus", born in Vaynor [309], father of Evan Lloyd, in turn father of Howel ap Ievan, father of Edward ap Hywel ap Ieuan Llwyd who built a house on the Vaynor Park estate
Madog was another son of Phylip Goch, he begat Gwilym ap Madog who wed Marred v. Grufyd and they begat Ieuan ap Gwilym who wed Eva v. Howel and they begat Davydd ab Ieuan who wed Gwervyl v.

Alswn ferch Robert (Alown/Alson/Alice) was dau and heir of Meredith ap Robert [842a] ap Robert, ap Llowarch ap Trahearn (Trahaern/Traharn) (<1211-1244) Lord of Cedewain (Cydewain) [40] [45]. Other genealogies have her the dau not grand-dau of Robert [496] [707]. Obviously this has been a potential source of confusion with Dyddgu ferch Meredydd ap Robert ap Owen Gwynedd, the wife of Meilir Gryg [as in the 1633 Cedwyn Manuscript [496] where she is given as Alson, dau and heir of Robert ap Llowarch ap Trahaern ap Gwyn ap Collwyn ap Ednowain ap Bleddyn ap Bledrig ap Kaenawr Mawr]. We also find that Lewis Dwnn shows Alswn, daughter and co-heir of Meredydd ap Robert ap Llowarch ap Trahaiarn, Lord of Kedewen married to one Einion ap Cynvelynn ap Dolfyn ap Rhiwallon [825], suggesting she may have remarried at some stage.

1. Gwenhwyfar (Gwenvyr ferch Phillip) (1220-1242) begat:
   • Gruffuth b<1284
     Ancestor [9 gen] of Lewys Dwnn (Herald & Bard 1586)

   • Llywelyn b.1285

Born in Llwyn Melyn (Powys) but as the youngest, he inherited his grandfather's seat of Neuadd Gregynog [229]

Gwenhwyfar was dau of Philip ap Griffith of Manafon [45] [50] [707]

The 1633 Cedwyn MS pedigree for Gwenhwyfar is a little different, as dau and heir of Philip ap Philip ap Einion ap Kynvelyn ap Dolphyn ap Rhywallon ap Madoc ap Cadwgan ap Bleddyn ap Cynvyn [496].

However, S P Thomas believes that Gwen was the dau of Einion ap Cynfelin Dolffin, descended from Rhodri Mawr (son of Nest, descended from Brochwel Ysgithrog) [572].
