LLYWELYN FYCHAN ap LLYWELYN ab OWAIN FYCHAN (died c. 1277), lord of Mechain

He and his brothers, Maredudd and Owain, succeeded their father as joint lords of Mechain sometime before 1241. Though his adherence to the cause of Gwynedd was an uncertain factor in the early years of Dafydd II, he was among the latter's supporters in 1245, and later was prominent among the native vassal magnates of Llywelyn II. He died before 1277, for in that year his share in Mechain had passed to his sons, Gruffydd and Maredudd.
