  • Notes 
    • (Research) KINSHIP: Investigate> Bartrum's 'Welsh Genealogies 300-1400' volume 10 page 783 states "There is much disagreement in the genealogies about the ancestry of Thomas's wife Elinor, sometimes made into two. Some versions are definitely fictitious, the others (shown here) open to doubt. Maredudd is said to have been declared illegitimate on the grounds that Elinor was cousin to Thomas. See Card 2.136 pp. 51-52, foot numbers. Isabel is mentioned only by Ieuan Brechfa (three times), but is less open to question. According to M 350 Sir Robert of Bacton was son of the sister of Sir Robert de Valle, so that Isabel was second cousin to Thomas. Lleucu is only mentioned in GG 7.

      (Research) IDENTITY: Conflict/Error> Dwnn's 'Heraldic Visitations of Wales' volume 1 page 217 calls her [unknown] ferch Syr Robert of Arkston, Herefordshire.
      (Research) IDENTITY: Conflict/Error> Dwnn's 'Heraldic Visitations of Wales' volume 2 pages 24 and 54 call her Elinor ferch Philip ab Ifor and (page 24) Catrin ferch Llywelyn ap Gruffudd ap Llywelyn ab Iorwerth "Drwyndwn" ab Owain "Gwynedd". Catrin ferch Llywelyn's mother is given on page 24 as Elinor daughter of Simon Mountford, Earl of Leicester and her mother as a daughter of King John.
      (Research) IDENTITY: Conflict/Error> Evan's 'British Genealogist' book 2 page B1 makes her the daughter of Philip ap Ifor.

      (Research) IDENTITY: Conflict/Error> Evans' 'British Genealogist' book 8 page H55 calls her "Ellen d. to Philip ap Ivor ap Cadivor ap Gwaethvoed, Ld of Caredigion. Her mother was Catherine d and h of Llew ap Griffith the last of the Princes of Wales".
      (Research) IDENTITY: Conflict/Error> Evans' 'British Genealogist' book 8 page H76 calls her "Lady Eleanor d. of Philip ap Ivor by Catherine d. of Llewelyn ap Griffith Last Prince of Wales. ut alii Thomas md Catherine herself d. of the Prince."
      (Research) MARRIAGE: Conflict/Error> Griffith's 'Pedigrees of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Families' page 301 on the paternal line shows her married to her husband's father Llywelyn.
