  • Notes 
    • Henglawdd, Denbighshire, and Tregarnedd, Anglesey. (Griffith, Pedigrees of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Families, p. 106)

      He had all of Hen Glawdd for his portion. (Dwnn, Heraldic Visitations of Wales, vol. 1 p. 331)

      Lord of Llansadwrn. (Evans, British Genealogist, book 8 p. H44)

      "According to a letter in the Harleian MS. 1971, fol. 196, this Gruffydd ab Endyved 'fled to Ireland for sum slander given to him touching Joane, daughter to King John, and wife to Prince Llewelyn ab Iorwerth, and stayed there as long as the Prince lived, and was highly entertained.' " (Dwnn, Heraldic Visitations of Wales, vol. 1 p. 331 fn. 2)

      Dwnn's 'Heraldic Visitations of Wales' volume 2 page 128 calls him Gruffudd ap Hywel ap Gruffudd ap Ednyfed "Fychan", thus inserting two generations between Gruffudd and Ednyfed. It gives the mother of the first Gruffudd as Gwenllian ferch Thomas ap Tegwared, then states the mother of Gruffudd ap Hywel was Tangwystl ferch Dafydd "Gôch". It then gives the mother of Hywel ap Gruffudd as Efa ferch Einion ap Gwalchmai. It thus has scrambled generations and spouses.

      Dwnn's 'Heraldic Visitations of Wales' volume 2 page 101 gives him as sons Hywel "y Fwyall" ap Gruffudd and a Rhys "y Pedolau". The Hywel belongs in a different family and the Rhys should by Hywel "y Pedolau" who also belongs in a different family.

      Griffith's 'Pedigrees of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Families' page 389 gives him a son Robert and a daughter Mallt who married Llywelyn ap Hywel of Llechylched.

      Evans' 'British Genealogist' book 8 page H44 gives him by his second marriage two additional sons, Sir Gruffudd "Llwyd", knight, and Robert.
