• The Bowens of Llwyngwair, previous to the beginning of the sixteenth century seated at Pentre-Evan, in the same co. of Pemb., trace an unbroken descent from the poet-prince Gwynfardd Dyfed (living A.D. 1038), who was himself of the lineage of Meurig, an early King of Dyfed. A careful collation of the Dale Castle or Mabws MS. with Lewys Dwnn, the Golden Grove MS., &C,, results in the following reliable genealogy : — Gwynfardd was s. by his son, —
• Cyhylyn, Prince of Dyfed, who m. Gwrangen Fein-droed ("the slender-footed'), dau. and h. of Sir Tristram, Comes or Earl of Worcester. His son, —
• Gwrwared of Cemmaes (corrupted "Kemeys"), s, about 1195.
• The princely character was now lost, for Cemmaes had been made a Norman barony, and the native lords held under the foreigner. The historic reality and period of Cyhylyn and Gwrwared are clearly demonstrated by a charter of Nicholas (son of Sir William Martin), Lord of Cemmaes [circa 1220), granting and confirming to the heirs of Gwrwared and Llewelyn, sons of Cyhylyn, the lands of Precelly from the Via Flandrica, crossing the mountains at Bwlchgwynt, to Eglwyswen, Melinau, Cilgwyn, &c. ("Ego Nicholaus . . . confirmavi heredibus Gwrwared filii Cuhelyn, et hered. Lewelini filii Cuhelyn, totam terram meam in Presselewe, &c." — Baronia de Kemeys, p. 48). He m. Gwenllian, dau. of Ednyfed Fychan, Councillor and General of Prince Llewelyn ap lorwerth of North Wales (see Ednyfed Fychan), His son, —
• Gwilym ap Gwrwared (circa 1227), m., Joan, dau. of Sir Leonard Stackpool of Stackpool, Pemb. [Some pedigrees repeat Gwrwared and Gwilym, which is an obvious mistake.]
• Einon Vawr, "o'r Coed" ["of the Wood"], Esq., m. Dido, dau. of Cadwgan Dhu, Lord of Aberporth. [From this point the pedigree is more clear.]
• Owen ap Einion &c., Esq., m. Gwenllian, dau. of Sir William Cantington, Kt., of Trewilym.
• Llewelin ap Owen, &c., Esq., m. Nest, dau. of Howell Fychan, Esq.

In the 8th Henry VIII., A.D. 1516, Sir James Bowen was commissioned to be auditor and attorney for the barony of Cemmaes, to take fines of tenants, punish offenders, &c. He was prob. the same Sir James, and this was the period when the family became seated at Llwyngwair. See Baronia de Kemeys, p. 19].
