Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angharad_ferch_Meurig
Angharad ferch Meurig was a 9th-century Welsh noblewoman. She was the wife of 
Rhodri the Great of Gwynedd, and mother of Anarawd (Rhodri's successor), Cadell ap 
Rhodri, and Merfyn.

Life[edit]

Angharad was the daughter of Meurig, evidently the King of Seisyllwg in southwestern 
Wales. She married Rhodri Mawr of Gwynedd, who held power over much of Wales. 
Her brother Gwgon succeeded their father to the throne of Seisyllwg, but he drowned 
without an heir in 872. Subsequently, Angharad and Rhodri became caretakers of his 
kingdom. Rhodri had no standing to take the kingship himself, but the family 
connection allowed him to install his second son, Cadell, as king.[1] Their first son, 
Anarawd, later succeeded Rhodri in Gwynedd. Their third son, Merfyn, is sometimes 
said to have been installed as King of Powys.
