He married a princess of Powys, namely Marared, daughter of Madog ap Maredudd, by whom he had one son, the future Llywelyn ap Iorwerth.

JOHN WYN ap MAREDUDD (d. 1559), politician - see WYNN
JONES, Sir WILLIAM (1566 - 1640), judge was the eldest son of William ap Griffith ap John (died 1587) and of his first wife, Margaret, daughter of Humphrey Wynn ap Maredudd of Cesail Gyfarch (died 1583), first cousin to the grandfather of Sir John Wynn of Gwydir.

LLAWDDEN (fl. 1450), cywyddwr His cywydd to Ieuan Gwyn ap Gwilym Fwyaf shows that he was a native of Loughor, but he was known as ' Llawdden of Machynlleth.' Most of his poems were written to the families of Thomas ap Rosier of Hergest, and Phylip ap Rhys and Maredudd Fychan of Maelienydd. In the Carmarthen Eisteddfod of 1451 he is known to have accused Gruffudd ap Nicolas of being bribed to give the chair to Dafydd ab Edmwnd
LLYWARCH LLAETY (fl. c. 1140-1160), one of the poets of the period of the Welsh Princes A series of englynion in praise of Llywelyn ap Madog ap Maredudd of Powys remain in MSS. It is also probable that he was the same person as the poet Llywarch y Nam, of whose work another series of englynion to the same prince is found.
LLYWELYN ab EDNYFED (fl. c. 1400-1460?), poet the same person, apparently, as one called Llywelyn ap Maredudd ab Ednyfed in some MSS. All his extant work is vaticinatory poetry. The date 1400 is given, together with one copy of a poem by him, in NLW MS 6499B; another poem, definitely composed in 1460, is attributed to him (amongst various other poets) in some MSS. Apart from the above no other dates are available.
LLYWELYN ap IORWERTH (fl. 1173-1240), prince Son of Iorwerth Drwyndwn by Margaret, daughter of Madog ap Maredudd. He may have been born at Dolwyddelan, the royal manor of Nantconwy, over which his father had exercised a brief lordship which ended with his death at about the time of Llywelyn's birth. The infant prince, being a potential menace to the power of his father's half-brothers in Gwynedd, probably grew up in Powys under the
LLYWELYN ap MAREDUDD ab EDNYFED - see LLYWELYN ab EDNYFED
LLYWELYN ap SEISYLL (d. 1023), king of Deheubarth and Gwynedd Nothing is known of his father, but his mother, Prawst, was, according to late pedigrees, the daughter of Elisedd, a younger son of Anarawd ap Rhodri Mawr. Since he himself married Angharad, daughter of Maredudd ab Owain ap Hywel Dda, he had distant claims to succession in both Deheubarth and Gwynedd, which in the circumstances of the time could be translated into reality by a leader of force and
LLYWELYN FARDD (fl. c. 1150-1175), poet Merioneth. In an elegy to Cedifor he refers to himself as a soldier of Madog ap Maredudd (died 1160), and in addressing Owain Fychan, son of Madog (died 1187), he claims that he was older than that prince. In a poem to Owain Gwynedd he states that he had been with him on Southern soil, but Owain did not fight in South Wales after 1138. According to the ' Red Book ' it was Llywelyn who sang the elegy to
LLYWELYN FAWR (fl. early 13th century), lords of Merioneth The sons of Maredudd ap Cynan. In spite of the breach between their father and Llywelyn I, they were friendly towards Llywelyn from 1215 onwards. The lordship of Merioneth, lost to the family in 1202, may indeed have been restored to them as early as 1221. Though they were confirmed in possession of the 'cantref' by Henry III in 1241, both fought on the side of Dafydd II in 1245. After that date
