- other history: with note: Description: gleened by research.
David Gosh Ap Trahaiarn was the last blood prince of wales. After him all the princes were of English blood. There was only one male child to survive into adulthood and this was Dafydd Gosh Ap Dafydd (1311-1352), an illegitimate son birthed by Lady Maud Verch Dafydd (1279-1348). Dafydd Gosh Ap Dafydd had only one child, a son by an unknown lady. He married Verch Ieuan (1320-1398) and had one son named Madoc Gosh Ap Dafydd (1329-1356). This line passed into England and Family name was Anglicized and became "Dee" and later the name morphed again to become "Daye" and then later "Day". This form, "Day" passed through England and into America Which became the United States. There are 5 distinct Coats of arms after the last free Prince of Wales. One is a Dafydd coat of arms, two are in the Dee family and two are in the Day family. The first of the two Day Coats of Arms belonged to Sir Nickolas Dee Day (1545-1504).

- Title: Ancient Wales Studies: PEDIGREE OF CYNDDELW GAM OF YSTRAD ALUN
Author: By Darrell Wolcott
Publication: Name: http://www.ancientwalesstudies.org/id94.html;
Note: This pedigree, which extends down to about the year 1400, uses the same sources cited by Peter Bartrum in his "Welsh Genealogies - AD300-1400" but assembles the data in a chronologically consistent manner, leaving no time gaps nor any of the anachronisms found in his charts. It includes families we believe belong here which were not connected by Bartrum. Names are spelled according to our preferred orthography and all birthdate estimates have been rounded to the nearest year ending with 0 or 5.
For every child and every marriage connection claimed, our sources for the data follow the narrative in red type. In many cases, there are more sources than shown, but if one source extends the person's ancestry back more generations than all others, only that source is cited. In the majority of cases, no single source cites more than 3 or 4 generations so it is necessary to "connect" the ancestry by reference to distinctly separate sources, and this joining of sources may occur more than once to reach back to a well-known ancestor. Each such connection introduces the opportunity for error due to the abundance of same-named men found within the body of Welsh pedigree manuscripts. Our constructions often differ from those presented by Bartrum, but all maintain a sound chronological timeline. Where particular problems exist, they are fully discussed and the reasons for choosing our construction are given. There can be no certainty that our choices, or anyone else's, are absolutely correct.

PF v, 94 (citing Cae Cyriog Ms) says "Gronwy ap Deio ap Edward ap Gronwy Ddu" married "a daughter of Gruffudd ap Llewelyn ap Ieuan ap Ieuan Gethyn." Pen. 129, 51 extends his ancestry to "Ieuan Fychan ap Ieuan Gethyn ap Madog Cyffin"

Pen. 287, 540; Pen. 134, 185; Pen. 135, 110; Pen. 139(1), 93 cite "Llewelyn Fychan ap Iolyn ap Ieuaf" married "Lleuci ferch Gruffudd Goch ap Ieuan," while Pen. 129, 131 extends her ancestry as "Gruffudd Goch ap Ieuan ap Dafydd Fychan." Pen. 131, 88 and Pen. 129, 42 continue as "Ieuan ap Dafydd Fychan ap Iorwerth ap Dafydd ap Cowryd ap Cadfan, but Bartrum shows 1 generation missing from that construction. Dwnn ii, 237 inserts "Dafydd" between Dafydd Fychan and Iorwerth as do Harl. 2299 and 4181

Dwnn ii, 302 cites "Gronwy ap Gruffudd ap Dafydd" married "Annes ferch Gruffudd ap Ieuan Lloyd"; it further cites their son as Dafydd who married "Tangwystl ferch Edward ap Rhys ap Gruffudd" while Pen. 134, 208/209 cites "Edward ap Rhys ap Gruffudd Benfras"
Pen. 134, 357 calls the wife of Gronwy ap Gruffudd "Mabli ferch Gruffudd ap Ieuan Lloyd" but we have chosen the Dwnn version.
