  == Biography ==
  Owain Brogyntyn ap Madog (fl. 1160-1186) was the youngest and illegitimate son of king Madog ap Maredudd, the last king of a united Kingdom of Powys. Wikipedia. Owain Brogyntyn.

  ===Parentage===
  Owain Brogyntyn ap Madoc was one of three illegitimate sons of Madog by unknown mistresses. Cawley, Foundation for Medieval Genealogy. Kings of Powys, family of Cynfyn ap Gwerstan., http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/WALES.htm#_Toc389126140. Accessed January 19, 2016
  Efa's father in law, Owain Brogyntyn ap Madoc, Lord of Edeirnion, Dinmael and Abertanat in Powys, was living in 1166. He married Maredd, daughter of Einion ap Sitsylt, Lord of Mathafern.
  He was the (illegitimate) son of Madog by the daughter of the Maer du or "black mayor" of Rûg in Edeyrnion.
  He was the brother of Gruffydd Maelor the ancestor of Owain Glyndŵr.
  Presumably Owain Brogyntyn would have been raised by his mother at Rûg in Edeyrnion.
  He was acknowledged by his father and granted by him the lordship of Edeyrnion and also Dinmael. It is quite possible that he inherited someof these lands through his maternal grandfather, the Maer Du, which were confirmed and perhaps extended by his father the king of Powys.
  
  ===Castle Brogyntyn===
  At some point he also came into possession of Castle Brogyntyn on the English borders at Selattyn close to Oswestry.
  
  ===1160 Share of Powys===
  In 1160 after the death of his father and his eldest half-brother, he inherited a share of the Kingdom of Powys.[1] Ashley, Mike (2012). The Mammoth Book of British Kings and Queens. Hachette. Cited by Wikipedia.
  
  ===Marriage to Jonet ferch Hywel===
  Owain first married Jonet verch Hywel (whose ancestor was Athelstan Glodrudd of the Fifth Royal Tribe) but with her had no children.
  
  ===Marriage to Marred ferch Einion===
  He next married Marred ferch Einion ap Seisyllt who was to be the mother of his three sons. Einion ap Sitsylt was Lord ofMathafern.
  
  ===Date Estimation===
  He is said to have flourished between 1160-1186. Estimating that he was aged 25 when he began "flourishing", would place his birth year at 1135.
  Estimate that his first marriage, to Jonet, took place at age 20 or 1155. We do not know what became of Jonet. She may have died in childbirth along with a child, but this was not recorded. Assume instead that after 5 years of marriage, she was set aside in favor of one who could bear Owain children.
  Then estimate his second marriage to have taken place at 1160, when Owain was 25.
  
  The three sons would then be born 1161, 1163 and 1165, respectively.

  The son of Iorwerth and Efa, Gruffudd ab Iorwerth, was confirmed in his lands as Baron of Edeyrnion by Edward I under the terms of the Statute of Rhuddlan (1284) by which England organised the subjugation of Wales.
  According to Philip York writing in 1799 a cup and a dagger belonging to Owain Brogyntyn were preserved at Rûg in Edeyrnion. Later accountsin the National Gazetteer dated 1868 state that a cup and dagger in the possession of "Colonel Vaughan of Rhug" were once owned by another Owain of Powys, the much later Owain Glyndŵr. These objects, whoever the original owner, may now be lost.
  The direct patrilineal descendants of Iorwerth ab Owain Brogyntyn survived at least until the beginning of the 20th century and are known togenealogy as the Hughes of Gwerclas family.
