Please see Darrell Wolcott; Anwn Dynod ap Maxen Wledig; http://www.ancientwalesstudies.org/id21.html. (Steven Ferry, April 4, 2017) Addendum: I recently contacted Mr. Wolcott about his Anwn Dynod paper, pointing out that the article stated that Ednyfed had 3 sons, and then asking him if Morhen might be a daughter. This is his reply:

"The pedigree is question is from Peniarth 268, 94 which Dwnn copied in his vol ii, 98. Bartrum mentions it in his Early Welsh Genealogical Tracts, p 147 and admits he could barely decipher the handwriting. He expresses the name as "Morhen(?)" and repeated that in his Welsh Genealogies AD300-1400 and in his "Welsh Classical Dictionary". When Samuel R. Meyrick was editing Dwnn's papers for publishing, he rendered the name "Marchen". In both cases, the name was followed by "ap" meaning the original author believed it to be a son of Ednyfed.

"Neither spelling is repeated for any other man or woman in any manuscript made available to Bartrum, so we don't know if it was intended to be a common birth name simply distorted by bad penmanship. If it were a female, it would not be the only instance of a lady followed by "ap" in the sources because the author thought she was a he.

"In writing my paper, I did not know if it were a son or daughter of Ednyfed but did not want to digress from the main thrust of the article by introducing the unresolved dilemma. I let it "seem" like it was a daughter without actually saying that. Perhaps I should revise the phrase "Three sons are identified" to "Three known sons" because I do not want to go on record saying what gender this person actually was. He/she occurs only in the relationship I charted." (Steven Ferry, February 13, 2020.)
