Edwin (d 1073), described as lord or prince of Tegeingl (i.e. the commotes of Rhuddlan, Coleshill, and Prestatyn) and founder of one of the 'Fifteen (Noble) Tribes' of North Cymru. Tegeingl formed a region, the greater part of which was for over three centuries part of the English kingdom of Mercia - i.e. until it was reconquered by Dafydd ab Owain Gwynedd in the 12th cent. Edwin is described in the same pedigrees as great-great-grandson of Hywel Dda; his mother was Ethelfleda, daughter of Edwin, king of Mercia. He m. Gwerydd, sister of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, and by her had three sons, Owain, Uchdryd, and Hywel. Many North Welsh families (particularly in Flintshire and Denbighshire) claimed descent from Edwain, among them those of Mostyn of Mostyn and Mostyn of Talacre. David Powel of Rmacbon also claimed to be a descendant of Uchdryd ab Edwin. [Dictionary of Welsh Biography p201] ...............................

Edwin was the great great grandson of Hywel Dda, and flourished about the middle of the eleventh century. His mother was Ethelfleda, daughter and heiress of Edwin, Earl of Mercia, and relict of Edmund Ironside, King of England. His patrimony of Tegaingl is a division of Flintshire, comprising the hundreds of Rhuddlan, Coleshill, and Prestatyn ; and he held his Court at a place called Llys Edwin, in the parish of Llaneurgain (Anglicc, Northop). He married Gwerydd or Ewerydda, sister of BLEDDYN AB CYNFYN, by whom he had three sons, Owain, Uchdryd, and Hywel. He was slain in 1073, and buried at Northop. Owain succeeded his father as Prince of Tegaingl. He bore gules three men's legs conjoined at the thighs in triangle argent. He died of consumption in 1103. By his wife, Morfudd, daughter of Goronwy ab EDNOWAIN BENDEW (chief of the thirteenth Noble Tribe), he had, besides the daughter, Angharad above referred to as the wife of GRUFFUDD AB CYNAN, five sons, Goronwy, Meilir, Llewelyn, Aldud, and Rhirid. These were the ancestors of the Lloyds of Hersedd, Ffern, and Llwyn Yn ; Pryse, Llwyn Yn ; Edwards of Stansty, Rhual, Gallt Celyn, Crogen Iddon, and Glyn ; Evans, Coedllai and Treuddyn ; Lloyd, Pentrehobin ; Wynn, Copa'r leni ; Parry, Llaneurgain ; Griffith of Garn ; Wynn of Nerquis. Uchdryd became lord of Cyfeiliog and Meirion. His first wife was Agnes, daughter of Llewelyn Aurdorchog ("of the golden torque"), lord of lal, who bore him lorwerth, Idnerth Benfras, Llawdden, and Philip of Cyfeiliog, ancestor of the old families of Abergwidol, Gelligoch, Caelan, and others in the hundred of Cyfeiliog. By his second wife, Angharad, daughter of Meredydd ab Bleddyn, he had a son, Meredydd, ancestor of the Owens of Llynlloedd, Tedsmore, Woodhouse, Condover, and Bettws Cedewain ; the Powells of Nanteos ; and the Bromfields of Bromfield. Hywel married Janet, daughter of Ithel ab Eynydd, lord of Trefalun. Howel Gwynedd, referred to in the text, was seventh in descent from Uchdryd ab Edwin. Sir Thomas Owen, above referred to, was a man of great legal erudition, and was Judge of the Common Pleas, from January 2ist, 1594, until his death, December 21st, 1598. His son, Sir Roger Owen, distinguished himself among the literary men of his day, and was an active Member of Parliament. Both he and several of his successors filled the office of Sheriff, and the estate of Condover still remains with the family ; though this and the other branches of the Owen family above named, have long been extinct in the direct male line. Dr. David Powell, Vicar of Rhiwabon, a learned divine and eminent antiquary, born about 1522, died in 1598, was descended from Uchdryd ab Edwin. He was Chaplain to Sir Henry Sidney, Lord President of the Marches, published several works of great learning, and rendered essential assistance to Dr. Morgan in the translation of the Bible into Welsh. The only families of this tribe that I can find to be still extant in the male line, are those of Griffith of Garn, now represented by William Douglas Wynne Griffith, Esq. of Garn, near Rhyl ; and Powell of Nanteos. In addition to the other families above named, all of which are extinct, or only extant in the male line, may be added the Mostyns of Llys Pengwern, Mostyn and Talacre, who are maternally descended from Edwin (Hist. Powys Fadog ; Arch. Camb. ;Dwnn's Vis., &c.j Ect. .........................................

EDWIN, lord or as he was commonly called king of Tegengl, in Flintshire, was the head of one of the fifteen tribes, from whom most of the chief families of that county are descended. He was the son of Gronw ab Owain ab Hywel Dda, and lived in the middle of the tenth century. His arms are "argent between four Cornish choughs, a cross fleuri engrailed sable."
