https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhiwallon_ap_Cynfyn
Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn (c.?1020 – c.?1069) was a Welsh King.[1] the son of Cynfyn ap 
Gwerstan and brother of King Bleddyn of Powys. Through his mother Angharad, he 
was half-brother to King Gruffydd ap Llywelyn as well. Following the 1063 invasion of 
Wales by Harold and Tostig Godwinson that overthrew Gruffydd, Rhiwallon and 
Bleddyn jointly received Powys and Gwynedd on condition of faithfully serving Edward 
the Confessor "everywhere by water and by land".

In August 1067, Rhiwallon and Bleddyn joined Eadric the Wild in an attack upon 
Herefordshire as part of the Saxon resistance to the recent Norman Conquest of 
England. In 1069 or 1070, the two brothers fought the battle of Battle of Mechain 
against Gruffydd's sons Maredudd and Idwal. Though victorious, Rhiwallon was slain 
in battle and left Bleddyn sole prince of North Wales.
