Edwin of Tegeingl

Edwin of Tegeingl (born about 1020 and died 1073) was a prince or lord of the cantref of Tegeingl in north-east Wales. Biography Later pedigrees provide Edwin and his descendants with a Welsh pedigree, making him son of Gronwy and great-great-grandson of Hywel Dda. However, it has been suggested that this pedigree may have been a late invention, and that his name points to an Anglo-Saxon origin. Edwin was Lord or Prince of the cantref of Tegeingl. The cantref formed the eastern part of Perfeddwlad (or Y Berfeddwlad) on the northern coast of Wales between the River Clwyd and Deeside. The territory, originally forming part of the Kingdom of Gwynedd, had been under the control of the Anglo-Saxons for several centuries and then changed hands several times between the two. There is no reference to him in the chronicles of Wales; there are, however, references to his sons. Edwin married Gwerydd, sister of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, Prince of Gwynedd and Powys.)
