  Annals and Aniquities of Wales state that both Jennet and Eva are daughters of Aron ap Rhys ap Bledri ap Cadivor Fawr, however, due to the chronology of both their husband's lineages its seems likely that they were the product of some union of Aron ap Rhys other than that with Gwenllian verch Ednyfed Vychan.
