About this person

Idwal Iwrch, or Idwal ap Cadwaladr, reigned c. 682 - c. 720, is a figure in the genealogies of the kings of Gwynedd. He was the son of King Cadwaladr and the father of King Rhodri Molwynog. William Wynne places Cynan Dindaethwy as his son, but other sources have Cynan as the son of Rhodri. The records of this era are scanty, and Idwal's name appears only in the pedigrees of later kings and in a prophecy found in two 14th-century Welsh manuscripts, which says that he will succeed his father Cadwaladr as king.
