Names and TItles

Married: Mrs. Owain.1
Margred Verch Madog was born about 1129 of Montgomeryshire, Wales.1 She was the daughter of Madog ap Maredydd and Susanna Verch Gruffydd.1 Margred Verch Madog married Iorwerth 'Drwyndwn' ap Owain, son of Owain 'Gwynedd' ap Gruffydd and Gwladus Verch Llywarch, about 1163.1
Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury, died 13 July 1205, which provides a definite terminu s. The styling of Llywelyn Fawr as Prince of North Wales [princeps Norwalliae] could mean a s early as 1194, when he removed his uncle Dafydd from power, or as late as after 1200 when h e obtained control of the remainder of Gwynedd from his cousin Gruffydd. Perhaps if we can f ind more detail as to the career of Robert, bishop of Bangor and abbot of Bildewas, co. Salo p & c., this time frame could be better defined. It is interesting to note that the issue has to do with the husband of 'M' [Margaret, mothe r of Llywelyn] and the issue of his relations with one 'Guladus' or Gwladys, a kinswoman of ' M'. While an Anglo-Welsh heritage is not ruled out for either woman, on the surface it woul d reinforce the indentification of Margaret with Margaret ferch Madog, daughter of Madog ap M aredudd of Powys (d. ca. 1160).
