  • Notes 
    • Tudur Trefor; born c900; married Angharad, daughter of Hywell "Ddu" ("The Good"), King of Wales. [Burke's Peerage]

      ame of Tudor Trevor, the founder of the Tribe of the Marches, bears a high place. At no great distance from each other we have the families of
      Trevor of Brynkinalt,
      Thomas of Trevor Hall,
      Morrall of Cilhendref,
      Lloyd of Plas Madoc and Clochvaen,
      Lloyd of Rhagatt,
      Dymocke of Penley,
      Jones of Llanerchrugog,
      Lloyd of Leaton Knolls,
      Mostyn of Mostyn,
      Mostyn of Talacre, &c., &c., all holding good estates, which descended to them from Tudor Trevor, who are themselves his descendants.

      By Angharad, his wife Tudor Trevor left 3 sons, Goronwy, Lluddocca, and Dingad, among whom he divided his lands, every son being held equal, thou some slight favor being shewn to the youngest who had a right to the paternal home, the law providing for him, who by reason of his tender years might be least able to provide for himself. In the division of lands the southern portions fell to the lot of the representat ive of Goronwy, for he predeceased his father, leaving only a daughter and heir, Rheingar, who carried her possessions by marriage of Cuhelyn ab Ivor ab Severnus, and from them came Elystan Glodrydd, Prince of Fferlis, the country between the Wye and Severn. The third son, Dingad, received the Lordship of Maelor Cymraeg, while Oswestry, Chirk, Whittington and Maelor Saesneg fell to the lot of Lloddocca.

      The Fifteen Tribes of North Wales

      TUDOR TREVOR, the tribe of *March, called likewise in our books Llwyth Maelor (or the tribe of Maelor,) was the son of Ynyr ap Cadfarch, descended of Cadell Deurnllug, King of Powys. He is said to have been the founder of, and to have re|sided at, Whittington Castle, which continued in his posterity for many generations after. His mother was Rhiengar, daughter to Lluddocca ap Caradoc Vreichfras, earl of Hereford, who was one of the knights of king Arthur's Round Table. Tudor had large possessions in Herefordshire, in right of his mother, as well as in that country called Ferlys, which lies between the rivers Wye
      and Severne. He was cotemporary with Howel Dda, king of Wales, whose daughter Angharad he married, by whom he had three sons and one daughter. Powell, of Edenhope, in his Pen|t•chia, describes his arms in the following manner:

      Em in•is fulgens Theodor. parma T•e•, Dat rapidum fulvumque sinistro verte leonem: Mos•ni sunt nota satis, simul arma T•e•is.

      Which may be thus expressed in plain English:
      Parted per bend finister ermine and ermines, over all a lion rampant or; the well-known arms of the Mostyns, and also of the Trevors.
