  SIR GRUFFYDD VYCHAN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Sir Gruffydd undoubtedly owned lands, etc. in Powysland which were his by inheritance, as witness mention in Sir Edward de Cherleton's charter for the recapture of Lord Cobham when he and his elder brother Ieuan received restoration of their inherited lands' in Guilsfield and Broniarth and in the Lordship of Strata Marcella.
David was the ancestor of the Lloyds of Talgarth and Marrington, and Cadwaladr of the Lloyds of Maesmawr.
Sir Gruffydd must not be confused with a Sir Griffith Vaughan, or Vechan, who at the end of the 12th century, held the patrimony of Burgedin and was known as "the wild Knight of Cae Howell" and who was of totally different lineage.

 David ap Llywelyn
David or Dafydd ap Llywelyn (1208 - 1246) was the only legitimate son of Llywelyn the Great by his wife, Joan (daughter of King John).
Recognised as Prince of Wales by his uncle King Henry III of England in 1220 (the first to hold this title officially), he ruled Gwynedd following his father's death in 1240, despite the rival claims of his half-brother, Gruffydd ap Llywelyn.
Dafydd's revolt of 1244 against the Crown was only a temporary success, and his sudden death led to disorder, his marriage to Isabella de Breos having failed to produce an heir.

 David ap Gruffydd
David or Dafydd ap Gruffydd (c.1235 - 1283) was a prince of Gwynedd, a younger son of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn and his wife, Senena, and thus grandson of Llywelyn the Great.
During his career, Dafydd had repeatedly switched allegiances between his elder brother, Llywelyn the Last and King Edward I of England, but it was his rash attack on Hawarden Castle in March, 1282, that caused the final conflict with Norman England, in the course of which Welsh independence was lost.
His two sons and several daughters, mostly by Elizabeth (or Eleanor) Ferrars, were sent to prison and convents respectively after his death, and none ever emerged alive to threaten English domination.

 Trahaearn ap Caradog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the death of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn in 1075, it appears that none of his sons were old enough to claim the throne, and Bleddyn's cousin Trahaearn ap Caradog, seized power.
The same year Gruffydd ap Cynan landed on Anglesey with an Irish force, and with the assistance of the Norman Robert of Rhuddlan defeated Trahaearn and gained control of Gwynedd.
However tension between Gruffydd's Irish bodyguard and the local Welsh led to a rebellion in Llyn and Trahaearn took the opportunity to counter attack, defeating Gruffydd at the battle of Bron yr Erw, also in 1075, and forcing him to flee back to Ireland.
