Llywarch ap Bran, Lord of Menai

Darrell Wolcott has done extensive work into solving various problems with Llywarch of Bran's tree: see http://www.ancientwalesstudies.org/id32.html He and the prominent Welsh genealogist Peter Bartrum agree on a birthdate of 1120 for Llywarch.

They (Owen Gwynedd and Llowarch ap Bran) were brothers-in-law, their wives being sisters. Llowarch ap Bran was succeeded by his son, Meredydd, who married his cousin, Gwenillian, granddaughter of Prince Owen Gwynnedd. (from Meyrick Genealogy but I believe he missed a generation)

There is some discrepancy between the Visitations of Wales and the Meyrick Genealogy. I am following the Visitations that give the following lineage for Eva, wife of Einion Sais:

"Eva verch Mredydd ap Cadwgan ap Llowarch ap Bran".
