Rheingar ferch Hyfaidd

  • Died: 959

  Research Notes:

"...Nor do we have any early authority which cites [Cadell's] marriage; modern writers call her Rheingar but give her no ancestry. By tradition, she supposedly was a lady of Dinefwr in Ystrad Tywy.

Subsequent events lead us to identify this lady as probably a sister of Llywarch and Rhodri ap Hyfaidd ap Bleddri; that family had replaced the ruling Dyfed family when it became extinct in the male line...." 1

  Marriage Information:
