Eva verch Maredudd

From Darrell Wolcott, Center for the Studies of Ancient Wales: (in discussing Eva ferch Maredudd, wife of Einion Sais) "no single source gets her ancestry right, but I make her father Maredudd to be a brother of Ieuan Llwyd ap Madog ap Dafydd (of Dwnn ii 265). I further think one pair of "Madog ap Dafydd" is missing and that the "Cadwgan" cited as the father of "Dafydd" was NOT "ap Llowarch", but "ap Iorwerth ap Cadwgan ap Llowarch". Thus I have inserted 6 generations between the Maredudd and Cadwgan which Dwnn ii, 127 cites as father of Efa." (Steven Ferry, July 12, 2020.)

Eva, daughter of Meredydd ap Cadwgan, of Bodorgan, his only child and heiress, married Einion Sais, the direct descendant and representative in the 6th degree from Cydafael Ynnyd, lord of Cydewain, County Montgomery, and Judge of Powys, i. e. regent under the Prince, of Central Wales, called Powys, or Powys-land.

Their son was Heylin. Other children: Davydd ap Einion, Jockyn ap Einion,

Trevor of Brynkinallt in Denbighshire, wrote the following epitaph on Eva, his grandmother:—

" Here lie* by name the world's mother, / By nature my aunt—sister to my mother; / By law my grandmother—mother to my mother; / My great-grandmother—mother to my grandmother; / All thin may be without breach of consanguinity."
