Iago ab Idwal ap Meurig
Iago ab Idwal ap Meurig( died 1039) was a Prince of Gwynedd and Powys.
He was also referred to as" King of the Britons" in the" Annals of Ulster".
On the death of Llywelyn ap Seisyll in 1023, the rule of Gwynedd returned to the ancient dynasty with the accession of Iago, who was a great- grandson of Idwal Foel.
Very little is known about the reign of Iago.
He was killed by his own men in 1039 and replaced by Llywelyn ap Seisyll's son, Gruffydd ap Llywelyn.
Iago's grandson Gruffudd ap Cynan later won the throne of Gwynedd, and because his father, Cynan ab Iago, was little known in Wales, Gruffudd was styled" grandson of Iago" rather than the usual" son of Cynan".
Idwal ap Meurig
Idwal ap Meurig( died 997), was king of Gwynedd.
He was the son of Meurig ab Idwal Foel, who, though the rightful heir to the throne, was killed in 986, in the course of one of the many struggles for the kingship which characterised the period from the death of Hywel Dda in 950 until the time of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn.
Idwal, on the death of his father, fled for safety to the collegiate establishment at Llancarfan.
Maredudd ab Owain then succeeded in usurping the sovereignty of Gwynedd, and a few years after he marched on Glamorgan with an army of Danish mercenaries and laid waste the country; his object was to seize the fugitive Idwal, but in this he was unsuccessful.
By the year 995 the sons of Meurig gathered a sufficient following to return to North Wales, and, by defeating Maredudd at the battle of Llangwm, Idwal at last succeeded to the sovereignty.
But the Danes had overrun the country during Maredudd's reign: the churches had been spoiled, the people were demoralised, and there was a great scarcity of food.
Idwal is eulogised in the" Gwentian Chronicle" for his bravery and statesmanship in attempting to repair these disasters.
But he was killed in 997 in attempting to expel the Danes, who, under Sweyn, the son of Harald, were once more devastating Anglesey.
He left an infant son, Iago ab Idwal ap Meurig.
Hywel ap Ieuaf
Hywel ap Ieuaf( died 985) was a King of Gwynedd in north- west Wales from 979 to 985.
Hywel was the son of Ieuaf ap Idwal who had ruled Gwynedd jointly with his brother Iago ab Idwal until 969.
In that year the sons of Idwal quarrelled and Iago took Ieuaf prisoner.
Hywel is first recorded as accompanying Iago to Chester to meet King Edgar of England in 973, when together with a number of other kings including the kings of Scotland and of Strathclyde he pledged that he would be the king's henchmen on sea and land.
Later chroniclers made the kings into eight, all plying the oars of Edgar's state barge on the River Dee.
In 974 Hywel raised an army and drove his uncle from Gwynedd temporarily.
Iago was able to return, but was forced to share power with his nephew.
In 978 Hywel made another attempt to take the kingdom from his uncle, raiding the monastery at Clynnog Fawr.
In this raid Hywel was assisted by English troops, possibly provided by Aelfhere, Earl of Mercia.
Hywel defeated Iago in battle in 979, and the same year Iago was captured by a force of Vikings, possibly in Hywel's pay, and vanished from the scene.
Hywel was left as sole ruler of Gwynedd, but apparently did not set his father free, since according to J.E. Lloyd, Ieuaf remained in captivity until 988.
In 980 Hywel faced a challenge from Iago's son, Custennin ab Iago, who attacked Anglesey in alliance with Gofraid mac Arailt, a Viking chief from the Isle of Man.
Hywel defeated them in battle, killing Custennin and putting Gofraid and his men to flight.
Now securely in possession of Gwynedd, Hywel aimed to expand his kingdom to the south.
He again made an alliance with Aelfhere of Mercia and attacked Brycheiniog and Morgannwg with some success, although he was not able to annex these kingdoms.
However, in 985 his English allies turned on him and killed him, possibly alarmed by his growing power.
He was succeeded by his brother Cadwallon ap Ieuaf, who had not been on the throne long when Gwynedd was annexed by Maredudd ap Owain of Deheubarth.
Iago ab Idwal
Iago ab Idwal was a King of Gwynedd (r. 950 979) and possibly Powys.
Iago was the son of the earlier King Idwal the Bald
but, upon Idwal's death in combat in 942, his uncle Hywel
the Good invaded Gwynedd and seized the throne.
On Hywel's death in 950, Iago and his brother Idwal (called "Ieuaf") were able to drive out their cousins at the Battle of Carno and reclaim the kingdom.
Fighting continued, with the brothers raiding as far south as Dyfed in 952 and their cousins raiding as far north as the Conwy Valley in 954.
The southern princes were finally defeated at the Battle of Llanrwst and chased back to Ceredigion.
Having won, the brothers then began to quarrel among themselves.
Iago took Ieuaf prisoner in 969 and ruled another decade , with a brief hiatus in 974 before Ieuaf's son Hywel usurped him in 979.
There appears to be no surviving record of Iago's fate.
Cynan ab Iago
Cynan ab Iago( c. 1014 c. 1063) was a Welsh prince of the House of Aberffraw sometimes credited with briefly reigning as King of Gwynedd.
His father, Iago ab Idwal ap Meurig, had been king before him and his son, Gruffudd, was king after him.
Iago was King of Gwynedd from 1023 to 1039 but was killed( possibly by his own men) while Cynan was still young.
The throne was seized by Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, a member of a cadet branch of the royal dynasty.
Cynan fled to Ireland and took refuge in the Viking settlement at Dublin.
He married Ragnailt, the daughter of its King Olaf Sigtryggsson and granddaughter of King Sigtrygg Silkbeard.
Ragnailt appeared on the list of the" Fair Women of Ireland" in the Book of Leinster and was also descended from Brian Boru.
Cynan may have died fairly soon after the birth of their son Gruffudd, as the 13th- century" History of Gruffydd ap Cynan" details Cynan's ancestry but omits him from its account of Gruffudd's youth.
Instead, Gruffudd's mother tells him about his father and the patrimony he should claim across the sea.
Following two major Saxon invasions under Harold and Tostig Godwinson, Gruffydd ap Llywelyn was killed in 1063: the later Welsh" Brut y Tywysogion" reported he was done in by his own men, while the" Ulster Chronicle" stated he was killed by Cynan ab Iago.
This may account for later records in Gwynedd calling Cynan a king or, alternatively, it may simply have been an honorary title on account of his family.
If Cynan ruled, it was very briefly, for Bleddyn ap Cynfyn was installed by the Saxons the same year.

Idwal Foel
Idwal Foel
(Idwal the Bald; died c. 942) or Idwal ab Anarawd
(Idwal son of Anarawd) was a 10th-century King of Gwynedd in Wales.
A member of the House of Aberffraw, he inherited the throne from his father, Anarawd ap Rhodri.
William of Malmesbury credited him as "King of the Britons" in the manner of his father.
Cadwallon ab Ieuaf
Cadwallon ap Ieuaf( died 986) was a King of Gwynedd.
Cadwallon was the son of Ieuaf ab Idwal and succeeded to the throne of Gwynedd on the death of his brother Hywel ab Ieuaf in 985.
He only reigned for a year, for in 986 Maredudd ab Owain of Deheubarth invaded Gwynedd, slew Cadwallon and annexed his kingdom.
Ímar mac Arailt
Ímar mac Arailt( died 1054) was an eleventh- century ruler of the Kingdom of Dublin and perhaps the Kingdom of the Isles.
He was the son of a man named Aralt, and appears to have been a grandson of Amlaíb Cuarán, King of Northumbria and Dublin.
Such a relationship would have meant that Ímar was a member of the Uí Ímair, and that he was a nephew of Amlaíb Cuarán's son, Sitriuc mac Amlaíb, King of Dublin, a man driven from Dublin by Echmarcach mac Ragnaill in 1036.
Ímar's reign in Dublin spanned at least eight years, from 1038 to 1046.
Although he began by seizing the kingship from Echmarcach in 1038, he eventually lost it to him in 1046.
As king, Ímar is recorded to have overseen military operations throughout Ireland, and seems to have actively assisted the family of Iago ab Idwal ap Meurig, King of Gwynedd overseas in Wales.
After Echmarcach's final expulsion from Dublin 1052, Ímar may well have been reinstalled as King of Dublin by Diarmait mac Maíl na m Bó, King of Leinster.
Whatever the case, Ímar died in 1054.
He may have been an ancestor or close kinsman of Gofraid Crobán, King of Dublin and the Isles, the progenitor of a family that ruled in the Isles until the mid thirteenth century.
