  === Life Sketch ===
  Edwin of Tegeingl (born about 1020 and died 1073) was a prince or lord of the cantref of Tegeingl in north-east Wales.
  Later pedigrees provide Edwin and his descendants with a Welsh pedigree, making him son of Gronwy and great-great-grandson of Hywel Dda. However, it has been suggested that this pedigree may have been a late invention, and that his name points to an Anglo-Saxon origin. Edwin was Lord or Prince of the cantref of Tegeingl. The cantref formed the eastern part of Perfeddwlad (or Y Berfeddwlad) on the northern coast of Wales between the River Clwyd and Deeside. The territory, originally forming part of the Kingdom of Gwynedd, had been under the control of the Anglo-Saxons for several centuries and then changed hands several times between the two.
  
  There is no reference to him in the chronicles of Wales; there are, however, references to his sons.
  Edwin married Gwerydd, sister of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, Prince of Gwynedd and Powys. He had three sons:
  . Owain,
  . Uchdryd, and
  . Hywel.
  
  Edwin would come to be regarded as founder of one of the Fifteen Tribes of Wales, and as such antiquarians in later centuries would invent attributed arms for him.

  «b»Ancestry«/b»
  Most medieval pedigrees identify Edwin's father as Gronwy, a descendant of Hywel Dda. He may have been a great-great-grandson of Hywel Dda although this is disputed. From his name, it is clear he had Anglo-Saxon ancestry, and his mother is believed to have been Ethelfleda or Aldgyth, daughter of Eadwine of Mercia.
  
  «b»Lordship of Tegeingl«/b»
  Edwin is known to have been Lord or Prince of the cantref of Tegeingl. The cantref formed the eastern part of Perfeddwlad (or Y Berfeddwlad) on the northern coast of Wales between the River Clwyd and Deeside. The territory, originally forming part of the Kingdom of Gwynedd, had been under the control of the Anglo-Saxons for several centuries and then changed hands several times between the two.
  
  «b»Biography«/b»
  Edwin was probably born between 1017 and 1020. He is believed to have resided at Trefedwen near Rhuddlan. Although Edwin is sometimes called King of Tegeingl in the medieval pedigrees there is no reference to him in the chronicles of Wales; there are, however, references to his sons. He appears to have been raised to the lordship of Tegeingl by Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, ruler of most of Wales between 1055 and 1064. Edwin married Iwerydd (or Gwerydd), sister of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, Prince of Gwynedd and Powys.
  
  «b»Descendants«/b»
  Edwin had three sons, Owain, Uchdryd, and Hywel. Many aristocratic North Wales families (particularly in Flintshire and Denbighshire) claimed descent from Edwin including the Mostyns of Mostyn and of Talacre.

  ◦(Research):IDENTITY: Conflict/Error> Glenn's 'Family of Griffith of Garn and Plasnewydd in the County of Denbigh' page 1 footnote 1 states "Eadwine (or "Edwin, " or "Edwyn") ap Goronwy, wrongly called of "of Tegeingl," was the grandson of Einion ap Owen ap Hywel Dda... Einion, the eldest son, had territory in Brecheiniog and Gwent... dying in his father's lifetime, a great part of his lands then in the possession of his sons Eadwine, Tewdwr (or Tudur), Idwallon, Cadell, and Goronwy, fell into Saxon hands before 980-3. Eadwine died in 991 leaving sons Hywel (or Howel) and Owen ap Eadwine, who were ruling Deheubarth about 1034.
  IDENTITY: Conflict/Error> Griffith's 'Pedigrees of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Families' page 309 calls him "Gronwy, Prince of Tegeingl, ob. 1073," thus confusing him with his father.
  KINSHIP: Conflict/Error> Lloyd's 'History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog' volume 3 page 244 gives him a son named Hywel who help his brothers defeat the Normans in Ceredigion and Dyfed.
  KINSHIP: Conflict/Error> Lloyd's 'History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog' volume 5 page 53 gives him a son named Llywarch who was slain in battle in Dyffryn Clwyd.
  KINSHIP: Conflict/Error> Glenn's 'Family of Griffith of Garn and Plasnewydd in the County of Denbigh' page 18 pedigree makes him the son of Uchdrud ap Ugan (or Eugan, Wgan), and from there in to the Danish-Irish rulers of that timeframe.
  KINSHIP: Conflict/Error> Glenn's 'Family of Griffith of Garn and Plasnewydd in the County of Denbigh' page 256 pedigree gives the wrong link between this Edwin and his ancestor Hywel "Dda".
  LIVING: Investigate> Glenn's 'Family of Griffith of Garn and Plasnewydd in the County of Denbigh' page 256 pedigree states he was living 1086.
