Narrative
[large-G675.FTW]
Weis' Ancestral Roots Shows Gracia de Briwere as his mother; however, if Gwladus Ddu "the Dark Eyed" verch Llewelyn, his father's 2nd wife, was his mother (his maternal parentage is debated), then he was executed by his own grandfather, Llywelyn Fawr ap Iorwerth Prince of Wales.
