Notities over Idwal ap Elisedd

In 1003, he killed Cynan ap Hywel (who had killed Idwal ap Meurig in 996) and took Gwynedd.
See Darrell Wolcott, The Pedigree of Cynddelw Gam http://www.ancientwalesstudies.org/id94.html for untangling and clarification of these lines. (16 Jan 2016, Anne Brannen, curator)

The thirteen years of the rule of Maredudd (986-999 86) form something of a contrast to the time of confusion just described, in that this prince maintained a hold over both North and South Wales and opposed a bold front both to the English and to the Norse buccaneers. He is recorded to have led a raid into Maes Hyfaidd, or the plain of Radnor, where he no
doubt sacked the Mercian villages of the neighborhood;87 in his dealings with the sea-rovers, too, he showed an alert and resourceful spirit, redeeming their captives by the payment of a large ransom. For the times he was a man of mark, not undeserving of the title bestowed upon him by the Bruts of "most famous king of the Britons".88 Yet his reign was a troublous
one, disturbed by foreign attacks and by movements in favor of his nephew, Edwin ab Einon, and the sons of Meurig ab Idwal, who sought to win back Gwynedd for the old line. On his death his work was entirely undone; Gwynedd was regained by a scion of Idwal the Bald in the person of Cynan ap Hywel ab leuaf, who ruled for six years (999-1005),89 while a veil falls
over the history of Deheubarth which suggests the beginning of a period of anarchy unexampled even in that turbulent age.

86 The chronology of this reign is tolerably certain, the true date being found by adding one year to the date of B. Sues. Observe the following correspondences:—
B. Saes. 986—"marwolaeth ar yr ysgrybyl" = the murrain of Ann. Ult.
986 (≈ 987), A.S. Chr. MSS. C. D. E. F. 986, and Fl. Wig. 987.
B. Saes. 988—D. of "glumayn vab abloyc" = the killing of Gluniarainn, son of Olaf Cuaran, in Ann. Ult. 988 (≈989) and Chron. Scot. 987 (≈989).
B. Saes. 995—Burning of " Arthmatha" = destruction of Armagh in Ann.
Ult. 995 (≈ 996), Chron. Scot. 994 (≈996) and Tighernach {Rev. Celt. xvii.
p. 350).
87 "Maes Hyfaidd" means, of course, the vill, and not, as Woodward supposed (ibid. 203), the county of Radnor. See Trans. Cymr. 1899-1900, p. 125.
88 "Clotuorussaf vrenhin y brytanyeit" {Bruts, 264). So B. Saes. s.a. 998.
89 Abt. the year 1000 there appears to be confusion in the dating of B.Saes.
The "Ivor porthalarchi" of 1001 is Ivarof Port Lairge or Waterford, who died in 1000 {Ann. Ult. s.a. 999; Chron. Scot. 998). With the annal 1005 we return, however, to the system of adding two years, for the first year "decemnouenali s cicli" was, of course, 1007 (Giry, Manuel de Diplomatique, p. 193).
