--------------------------------
Angharad, Meurig Fychan’s wife, was the daughter of Dafydd ap Cadwgan of Llinwent in Llanbister, Radnorshire. She was descended from Elystan Glodrydd... and a long line of noblemen and women who had patronized the poets from at least the fourteenth century. Angharad’s brother was Dafydd Fychan (a patron of Huw Cae Llwyd...) and she was therefore an aunt of Maredudd ap Dafydd Fychan (a patron of Lewys Glyn Cothi...) Angharad was also an aunt of Elen Gethin, the wife of Tomas Fychan of Hergest, son of Sir Roger Fychan and Gwladus Gam. Gwladys Gam’s second husband was Sir William ap Thomas of Raglan. According to Guto’s elegy for both Meurig and Angharad, she died about the same time as her husband, possibly from the same disease, and was buried with him at Cymer abbey in Llanelltyd near Nannau. 2
