Web Notes notes for Meurig AP TEWDRIG King Of Gwent & Glywyssing
Bartrum's "Welsh Classical Dictionary". A king of Glywysing and Gwent (HW 274). He is frequently mentioned in charters in the Book of Llandaf as the son of Tewdrig, "king and martyr," and father of Athrwys, Idnerth, and Ffriog. His wife was Onbrawst ferch Gwrgan Fawr. See BLD
140, 143, 144, 148, 150. All of these charters are represented as being in the time of bishop Oudoceus. None of his sons are describes as king and as Morgan ab Athrwys is the next king mentioned, still in the time of Oudoceus, it appears that Meurig was succeeded, after a long reign, by his grandson Morgan. Wendy Davies dates the Charters c.620-665 (LlCH pp.97-98). Meurig is also mentioned in two of the Llancarfan Charters attached to the life of St. Cadog. Although his parentage is not stated his identity is proved by the witnesses. Late 16th century MSS give the mother of Meurig as Henfyn ferch Cynfarch ap Meirchion, i.e., a sister of Urien Rheged. This is impossible if we accept the above date for Meurig. According to the Book of Llandaf Meurig began to reign when his father Tewdrig retired to live a solitary life. But Tewdrig was prevailed upon to aid his son against the Saxons, and he was slain in the battle (BLD 141-2).
