Here is an excellent account on the ancestry of Llywelyn ap Iowerth, Prince of North Wales by Stewart Baldwin, whom I regard as one of the better medieval
genealogists today.

Baldwin really cuts the nonsense when it comes to verifying Llywelyn's ancestry. The sources are mainly primary, or excellent secondary ones. Like he says in the introduction, "If this table had included all ancestors of Llywelyn which are claimed in some source, then it would have probably turned out at least twice as long as the current table." Llywelyn is the ancestor of several colonial immigrants and thousands of Americans living today, so this site is of great importance to those who are attempting to trace every line of theirs as far back as possible. The furthest verifiable lines of Llywelyn go back to around the mid fifth century.
Best regards,
