vandalised edit

The current version has been vandalised. The prior version 23:03, 20 June 2009 appears to be the correct one.

I don't know enough to either officially flag this or to bring forward the previous version, so hopefully someone with more nous can help here ..

The Great Revolt 1136 section mentions Maurice of London in a context that appears to be inconsistent with the fact that he died in 1107. Viewfinder (talk) 16:17, 27 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Good eye! They must be two different Maurice of Londons then, the bishop which died in 1107, and another which was the castellian of Kidwelli Castle in 1130's. ♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 08:17, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
Found him! Maurice de Londres/ Maurice of London! Author Philip Warner gives his name in English as Maurice of London. Maurice appears to be the son of a William of London, who came with other Anglo-Normans to conquer Wales after the conquest of England.♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 08:36, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Parallels between some of tales in Mabinogion and Irish tales of Brian Boru? edit

This is OR, so only adding it here on the talk page, for anyone looking deeper into the theory she authored the Mabinogion. As she was a direct descendant of Brian Boru, as was her husband, could she have grown up with tales of her GGGgrandfather, and related historical figures, and built some of the work on these histories? While she was hardly the only Welsh person with Gaelic forbears, it would explain some of the parallels in the stories. - Slàn, Kathryn NicDhàna 23:50, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Issue edit

It is stated here she had three sons, Morgan ap Gruffydd, Maelgwyn ap Gruffydd and Rhys "Fychan" ap Gruffydd. However the Maredudd ap Gruffydd article claims he was also her son, as does the article for her husband Gruffydd ap Rhys. Does anyone know if the error is here or in the other articles?
