21. CYNFYN and ANGHARAD (daughter of No. 20). Little is known of Cynfyn.His fame, like that of many of us his descendants, was only thereflection of the fame of his distinguished wife. There is no evidencethat he ever attempted to rule in the right of his wife as did her firsthusband. The sons of Cynfyn and Angharad were Bleddyn and Rhiwallon. Thepedigree of Cynfyn which appears in Vol. 1, p. 63 of the HistoricalManuscripts Commission, London, 1898, extends back through twenty-twogenerations to Beli Mawr and Anna (see No. 1 Cunedda) through their sonLlud. Prof. Lloyd thinks that it is mythical. It is certainly incomplete.It would require many more than twenty-two generations to cover theperiod of more than one thousand years. In the History of Radnorshire itis stated that Cynfyn was the son of Gwerstan and the grandson ofGwaethfoed Fawr.
