Author: Darryl Lundy, The Peerage, a genealogical survey of teh Peerage of Britian as well as the royal families of Europe(http://thepeerage.com : accessed 26 Aug 2019), Anarawd ap Rhodri;
Note: Anarawd ap Rhodri, King of Gwynedd was the son of Rhodri \'Mawr\' ap Merfyn, King of Gwynedd and Angharad (?).1 He died in 916.1 He gained the title of King of Gwynedd in 878.1Children of Anarawd ap Rhodri, King of Gwynedd Idwal Foel ap Anarawd, King of Gwynedd+1 d. 942 Elisedd ap Anarawd1 d. 942Citations [S130] Wikipedia, online http;//www.wikipedia.org. Hereinafter cited as Wikipedia.
- Title: Foundation for Medieval Genealogy: ELISSEU (-killed [941/43])
Publication: Name: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/WALES.htm#_ftnref84;
Note: 2. ANARAWD ap Rhodri (-[913/15]). [The Gwentian Chronicle records the division of territories effected by "Rhodri the Great" and that "Gwynedd he conferred upon his son Anarawd and his palace was at Aberffraw in Mona."] King of Gwynedd. The Gwentian Chronicle is contradicted by Gerald of Wales´s Descriptio Kambriæ which records that “Rothericus magnus, qui Britannice Rotheri Maur dicebatur” had “tres filios...Mervinum, Anaraut et Cadelh” who divided Wales between them, “Mervino...Nortwallia, Anaraut Powisia, Cadelh...Sudwallia.” [The Gwentian Chronicle records that "Anarawd king of Gwynedd devastated Ceredigion, the territory of his brother Cadell" in 892.] The Annales Cambriæ record the death in 915 of "Anaraut rex." The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records the death in 913 of "Anarawd son of Rhodri, king of the Britons." [The Gwentian Chronicle records that "Anarawd son of Rhodri the Great, king of the Britons" died in 913 and then "Hywel son of Cadell ruled over all Wales."] m ---. The name of Anarawd´s wife is not known. Anarawd & his wife had two children:
a) IDWAL "Foel/the Bald" (-killed [941/43]). [The Gwentian Chronicle records that "Eidwal the Bald son of Anarawd son of Rhodri the Great became king of Aberfraw" in 913 after his father died.] King of Aberfraw. It appears that Idwal "Foel/the Bald" was a different person from Idwal, son of King Rhodri, who became King of Gwynedd (see below). This is apparent from the passage in the Gwentian Chronicle which records that "the Welsh gained their freedom…through the bravery and wisdom of Eidwal the Bald and his brother Elisseu…and Idwal son of Rhodri the Great" in 940. [The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "Idwal son of Rhodri, and his brother Elised were killed by the Saxons" in 941.] m ---. The name of Idwal´s wife is not known. Idwal & his wife had [one child]:
i) [IDWAL "Fychan/the Little" (-killed [978/79]). The Gwentian Chronicle records that "Idwal Vychan son of Idwal the Bald" was killed in 978. The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "Idwal was slain" in 979.]
b) ELISSEU (-killed [941/43]). [The Gwentian Chronicle which records that "the Welsh gained their freedom…through the bravery and wisdom of Eidwal the Bald and his brother Elisseu…and Idwal son of Rhodri the Great" in 940.] [The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "Idwal son of Rhodri, and his brother Elised were killed by the Saxons" in 941.] m ---. The name of Elisseu´s wife is not known. Elisseu & his wife had one child:
i) CYNAN . [The Gwentian Chronicle records that "Cynan son of Elisseu was endangered by poision given to him" in 943.]
