Father: Cadell ap Rhodri, b. ca. 843, d. ca. 909
Hywel took over the southern kingdom of Dyfed upon the death of his father-in-law (which he may have arranged) in 904. He shared lands in Ceredigon and Ystrad Tywi with his brothers after the death of their father. He united their inheritance in 920, creating the kingdom of Deheubarth, and accuired Gwynedd after the death of Idwal Foel in 942.

Hywel's greatest achievement was to create the first uniform legal system in Wales. They were called cyfraith Hywel (Hywel's laws) and it was later claimed that he took these laws to Rome on his pilgrimage in 928 and had them blessed by the Pope.

Upon Hywel's death some of his kingdom was broken away. Gwynedd and Powys returned to the line of Idwal ap Anarawd. Glamorgan continued to be subjects of its own kings. Deheubarth passed to Hywel's son, Owain.

Mother: Esyllt verch Cynan, b. ca. 770 in Caer Seiont, Carmarthenshire, Wales
Also known as Roderick, Rhodri was the first ruler of Wales to receive the name Great. Little is known about his life, but being a descendent of Rhodri later became a primary qualification for Welsh rulers. It was his victory over Gorm (sometimes given as Horm), leader of the Danes, at Anglesey in 856 which brought him international acclaim. He inherited Powys from his mother's family in 855 and Seisyllwg by 871. In 878, however, he was driven out by Vikings.
