Talk:Meurig ap Hywel

ap Hywel
The Brut seems to call Meurig's father Hywel king of Glamorgan (=Glywysing) but then makes his presumptive brother Ithel ap Hywel king of Glamorgan and Gwent after Meurig's death. Given that Hywel ap Rhys was said to have reigned from c. 840 and had other sons who lived to the mid-10th century, he presumably isn't the father of the pair but I can't find another Hywel in the Gwentian genealogies of e.g. EBK... — Llywelyn II   21:59, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Brut/Annales
Of course, in the Brut, Meurig's death precedes Ithel's and, in the Annales B, it's the other way around. — Llywelyn II   22:00, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
