Shield of Tegwared y Baiswen

Tegwared y Bais Wen ap Llywelyn (English: Tegwared with the White Mantle, son of Llewelyn),[1] Lord of Trefdraeth[2] was a natural son of Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Aberffraw, by a woman in some sources given as Crysten.[3] He was born circa 1210.[4] 'The white mantle' refers to his coat of arms (as shown to the right).

Tegwared served as a General in his father's army and held the Lordship of Trefdraeth, Anglesey, where his posterity lived for the next 600 years.[4]

It is recorded that he was adopted and raised by Ednyfed Vychan, his father's Seneschal. Tegwared later married his daughter, Gwenlian ferch Ednyfed Vychan. They had the following children:[5]

  • Howel ap Tegwared
  • Angharad ap Tegwared[1]
  • Arddun ap Tegwared
  • Tegwared Vychan ap Tegwared (b. circa 1250)
