Edwyn ap Gwriad
Edwyn ap Gwriad was a Welsh king of Gwent from 1015 to 1045. [1] He likely overthrew his uncles, Rhodri and Gruffydd.[1] Edwyn himself was imprisoned and blinded by his successor, Meurig ap Hywel, the son of Hywel ab Owain.[1]
The Anglo-Saxon name "Edwyn" along with Gwent's proximity to the English marches seems to imply some degree of relationship with early English rulers of the time.[1]
