Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_of_Tegeingl
Edwin of Tegeingl (born about 1020 and died 1073) was a prince or lord of the cantref 
of Tegeingl in north-east Wales.[2]
Ancestry[edit]

Most medieval pedigrees identify Edwin's father as Gronwy, a descendant of Hywel 
Dda.[3] He may have been a great-great-grandson of Hywel Dda[2] although this is 
disputed.[3] From his name, it is clear he had Anglo-Saxon ancestry, and his mother is 
believed to have been Ethelfleda or Aldgyth, daughter of Eadwine of Mercia.[3]

Lordship of Tegeingl[edit]

Edwin is known to have been Lord or Prince of the cantref of Tegeingl.[2] The cantref 
formed the eastern part of Perfeddwlad (or Y Berfeddwlad) on the northern coast of 
Wales between the River Clwyd and Deeside. The territory, originally forming part of 
the Kingdom of Gwynedd, had been under the control of the Anglo-Saxons for several 
centuries and then changed hands several times between the two.[4]

Biography[edit]

Edwin was probably born between 1017 and 1020.[3] He is believed to have resided 
at Trefedwen near Rhuddlan. Although Edwin is sometimes called King of Tegeingl in 
the medieval pedigrees there is no reference to him in the chronicles of Wales; there 
are, however, references to his sons.[3] He appears to have been raised to the 
lordship of Tegeingl by Gruffydd ap Llywelyn,[3] ruler of most of Wales between 1055 
and 1064. Edwin married Iwerydd (or Gwerydd[2]), sister of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, Prince 
of Gwynedd and Powys.[5]

Descendants[edit]

Edwin had three sons, Owain, Uchdryd, and Hywel.[2] Many aristocratic North Wales 
families (particularly in Flintshire and Denbighshire) claimed descent from Edwin 
including the Mostyns of Mostyn and of Talacre.[2]
