  Patrick Sims-Williams [in the article "Historical Need and
  Literary Narrative: a Caveat from Ninth-Century Wales", Welsh
  History Review, vol. 17 (1994), pp. 1-40] has recently argued

  ever existed, and that they were inventions of later
  genealogists who wanted to give Rhodri's family a line of
  descent from the earlier kings of Powys and Ceredigion.
