Before the Norman Conquest of Wales was completed in 1282, Wales consisted of a number of independent principalities, the most important being Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth (originally Seisyllwg and Dyfed), Gwent and Morgannwg. Boundary changes and the equal division of patrimony meant that few princes ever came close to ruling the whole of Wales. WIKI

Candidates Work List

This is my working list of candidates to include -- I'm not yet sure if they are related to me or not! As candidates are eliminated (proven not related) they are marked appropriately (~~THUS~~) and an explanation included. They are kept in the list in case future research proves they can be included. (And to keep them from popping up on the list again!) Never discard good research!

Proven candidates' names are marked with an asterisk (*) until they can be added to the database.

*Owain Glyn Dwr (a/k/a Owen Glendower) [1359-1416c]: Welsh ruler, last Welsh Prince of Wales
