Kings of Gwynedd

House of Cunedda

With Hywel's death, all male descendants of Maelgwn Gwynedd have expired. Merfyn the Freckled succeeds through his mother Esyllt, eldest daughter of Cynan Dindaethwy and niece of Hywel ap Rhodri Molwynog.

House of Manaw

The warfare among the sons of Rhodri meant that the descendants of Anarawd became considered a separate house called the House of Aberffraw from their principal seat from the junior branches in Deheubarth and elsewhere.
