===Timeline Data===
The Gwentian Chronicle records that in 796 Caradawc, son of Gwyn, son o f C o l l w yn, King of Gwynedd, were killed in action at Rhuddlan. Maredyd d, k i n g o f D yved were also killed in this action. [ Gwentian Chron icl e , p a g e 9, cited by Cawley ]
It should be noted that the Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records t h a t " t h e Saxons killed Caradog king of Gwynedd" in 800[17]. [ Brut y T y w y s o gion (Williams), p. 9., cited by Cawley ]
===Name===
There is agreement that the woman who married Gwrgan was a daughter of G w y n . T h e most reliable sources assert that her name was Nest.
'''A daughter'''
Brayley et al show Gwrgan married "a daughter" of Gwyn: [[Ithel-19|Gwr g a n ] ] a p [[Idwallon-1|Ithel Ddu]] the father of [[Gwrgant-5|Iestyn]], i s s a i d t o h ave married a daughter of ''[[Ap_Collwyn-1|Gwyn]] ap [[Ap_Ed no w a i n -1|Collwyn]]''.

Morris also calls attention that "A daughter of that Collwyn (and siste r o f C a d i for Fawr ap Collwyn, Prince of Dyfed would occur about 1025 A. M o r r is.

'''Nest ferch Gwyn'''
Boyer shows Gwrgan married second Nest ferch Gwyn ab Ednywain.
Gwyn was the son of Collwyn, King of Gwynedd. [Cawle y , C h a r les. ''Medieval Lands: A Prosopography of Medieval European Nobl e a n d R o y al Families'', [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/WALES.htm#_Toc 38 9 1 2 6 131 Entry for Maredudd, King of Dyfed] Accessed 3 July 2021 [[Da y - 1 9 0 4|jhd]] ]
Boyer, following Bartrum, shows Gwrgan as the son of Ithel, who in turn w a s t h e s o n of Idwallon, the son of Morgan Mawr, Morgan being the king o f M o r g a nnwg who died in 974. [ Carl Boyer 3rd. ' 'M e d i e val Welsh Ancestors of Certain Americans.'' Generally follows Ba r t r u m . By the author: Santa Clarita, California, 2004. Gwrgan ab Ith e l i s # 1 o n p age 195. ] Gwrgan's pedigree name would thus be Gwr g a n a b I t hel ab Idwallon ap Morgan Mawr.
As shown by Peter Bartrum, later manuscripts all transpose these names i n t h e D y f ed family from the correct sequence of Collwyn ap Gwyn.[[h tt p : / / fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/WALES.htm#_Toc389126131 Maredudd, King o f D y f e d ], FMG, added 2014-06-14, [[Bairfield-1|amb]]]
Wolcott notes that this daughter would fit well with Gwrgan of about 10 1 0 . < r e f name="wolcott121"> Darrell Wolcott.

'''Angkarat ferch Gwyn'''
Marlyn Lewis shows [[Ithel-19|Gyrgant, Prince of Glamorgan]] who died i n 1 0 3 0 m a rried to [[ferch Gwyn-3|Angharat]] verch [[Gwyn-61|Gwyn]] [ Marlyn Lewis, compiler, ''Our Royal, Titled, Noble, and C o m m o n er Ancestors & Cousins'' [http://our-royal-titled-noble-and-comm o n e r - ancestors.com/p755.htm#i22667 Cynfrig ap Howel, Lord Llantrithyd & R a d y r ] ,]
===Issue===
Her husband is the father of three children, but as he was married twic e , i t i s n o t certain who the mother of his children were.
Therefore the discussion of Gwrgan's children is placed only on Gwrgan' s p r o f i le.
==Research Notes==
===Was she the daughter of Angharad?===
Without further citation, Geni states that [[ferch Maredudd-4|Angharad f e r c h M a redudd]] was the wife of [[ap Collwyn-1|Gwyn ap Collwyn]] of Dyf e d i n a d d ition to being the wife Llywelyn ap Seisyll and Cynfyn ap Gwer y s ta n , a rglwydd of Cwybr [ Geni. [https://www.geni.com / p e o p le/Angharad-verch-Maredudd/6000000001173531306 Angharad verch Mare d u d d . A dded by: Scott David Hibbard on June 4, 2007; Managed by: Marga r e t ( C ) a nd 182 others; Curated by: Anne Brannen. Accessed August 19 20 1 8 [ [ D a y-1904|jhd]] ]
The Geni site further asserts that Angharad as therefore the mother of G w y n ' s c hildren, Caradawg and Angharat.
Angharad's detailed biography demonstrates that there was little room i n h e r l i f e for an additional marriage to Gwyn, and no source for such a r e l a t i onship has been found other than Geni.
Therefore Angharad has been removed as a mother for Caradawg and Anghar a t .
