Rhodri, son of Merfyn Frych, became King of Gwynedd in 844, following the death of his father; of Powys following the death of his uncle in 855; and of Seisyllwg (including Ceredigion and Ystrad Tywi) following the death of his brother-in-law in 872.
Gruffudd ap Llywelyn, (1007-63) was King of all Wales only from 1055 to 1063, yet he was the only Welsh ruler to unite the ancient kingdoms of the whole of Wales.
Gruffudd was a grandson of Maredudd ab Owain, King of Deheubarth and the son of Llywelyn ap Seisyllt, ruler of Gwynedd.

Edward was thereby appropriating the historical and religious regalia of the house of Gwynedd and placarding to the world the extinction of its dynasty and the annexation of the principality to his Crown.
Llywelyn's surviving brother Rhodri ap Gruffudd (who had been exiled from Wales since 1272) survived and held manors in Gloucestershire, Cheshire, Surrey and Powys and died around 1315.

He was a prince of Gwynedd, a younger son of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn and his wife, Senena, and thus grandson of Llywelyn the Great.
However, one member of the ruling House of Cunedda survived, Madoc ap Llywelyn, who was to raise the people of Wales to the banner of Gwynedd one last time.

Rhodri himself was killed in battle fighting an English incursion into his lands and it was left to his grandson, Hywel Dda (Howell the Good, 890-950) to re-establish some sort of hegemony among the various petty kingdoms of Wales.
Through military preparedness, clever alliances and political maneuvering, Gruffudd expanded his territories of Gwynedd in 1039 to become overlord of all the minor Welsh kingdoms, and for the first time a single ruler was recognized throughout Wales.
Llewelyn ap Gruffudd, despite his military successes, still faced formidable problems in holding together all the quarrelsome parts of his kingdom.

 Nest ferch Cadell ap Brochwel
Her father was Cadell ap Brochwel ap Aeddon and she married Gwerystan ap Gwaethfoed, giving birth to a son named Cynfyn about 985.[7] Following the death of King Gruffudd ap Llewelyn in 1063, Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn took the kingship of Powys and was succeeded by his brother Bleddyn ap Cynfyn in 1069.
We believe the only historical Nest ferch Cadell ap Brochwel was the mother of Cynfyn ap Gwerystan; her name was appropriated and inserted into the medieval pedigrees of Rhodri Mawr to bolster the claim that Powys was merged into Gwynedd in the ninth century.
And the possibility that Gruffudd and Cadwgan forged their alliance with the marriage of one's daughter with the other's son would follow the customary manner of cementing an alliance.
