Sons

      The life and times of the children belonging to Tudor Trevor (JC-1) and Anghard (JC-2) would certainly have had its ups and downs. Gronwy (JD-1), Llydocka (JD-2), and Dingad (JC-3) were identified as proprietors when they were to come into their own. However, born between 934 A.D. and 948 A.D. they would only be children when their father died in 948 A.D. Their grandfather Hywel Dda, had already assembled and discussed the accepted social behavior of the day. Stated on page 130 of "The Law of Hywel Dda", under the title of "Sons", it describes:

      "From when the son is born until he is fourteen years old, it is right for him to be at his father's platter, with his father as lord over him. And no punishment of him is right save his father's."

      Now in our case, the father had died most likely before their 14th birthdays. The law in this situation states:

       "A boy is entitled to a guardian for him until he is fourteen years old - his father if he is alive; and if his father is not alive, it is for the lord to give him a guardian, to act on his behalf to claim compensation for him, and to make compensation on his behalf". 

      Hywel Dda was to die within two years of Tudor Trevor (JC-1), being around the year 950 A.D. It would be my guess that Ynyr Frych (JC-3), the brother of Tudor and, the Abbot of "Abad Dor", took this role. Apparently the fellows were well cared for, and the following chart continues the family tree.

     Each sibling; Gronwy (JD-1) outlined in pink, Llydocka (JD-2) outlined in orange, Dingad (JD-3) outlined in blue, and Rhingor (JD-4) outlined only in pencil, all married and passed down the stories of the family. Each branch of the folks above produced a large number of descendants which will be presented in future posts using the same colors as shown above. The references for each individual diagramed is given in the numbers beside their name. For  (1)= Dwnn, (2)=Nicholas, and (3)= Burke, see post of April 9th, 2023.
