• Notes

  Cynddelw Gam ap Elgudy, born c. 880. As a young man, Cynddelw accompanied his f ather in the engagement which cleared Danish squatters from Tegeingl and the Clwyd valley. His uncorrected vision required him to squint when viewing anything from close up and earned him the nickname "Gam". Born in mid-Powys near Deuddwr, he settled in Ystrad Alun on lands granted to his father by Selyf ap Brochwel, king of Powys, around the year 900/905.
