  === Life Sketch ===
  Maelgwn Fawr, born c. 1150. His mother was Gwerfyl (c. 1135) ferch Llewelyn ap Rhys ap Morda Frych ap Cydrich ap Gwaithfoed of Cantref Bychan. Some sources claim he married Gwenllian, his step-mother, the wife of Lord Rhys. That lady was a half-generation older than Maelgwn Fawr and would have been about 57 years old when Lord Rhys left her a widow. Those sources also say this couple were the parents of Maelgwn Ieuanc. However, the deeds of Maelgwn Ieuanc appear to identify him as a son of Maelgwn Hen and born during the lifetime of Lord Rhys.
  This base son, also called Maelgwn, is probably wholly absent from the Brut and may have been called "Fawr" simply to describe him as a man large in stature, or because he was the eldest of Lord Rhys' sons. The Brut never calls its Maelgwn ap Lord Rhys by any nickname; we arbitrarily call the legitimate Maelgwn "Hen" since he had a son Maelgwn Fychan or Ieuanc (the younger). Accordingly, we think Lord Rhys had both a base son and a legitimate son named Maelgwn, but nothing except the name of his mother is known about the base son. The fact that his mother was a near neighbor of Lord Rhys' paternal home in Caeo argues for this child to have been conceived before his marriage.
