MEDI BookREF: MFHOWELLJR@@aol.com (HOWELL-L@@rootsweb.com, Howell readers group): Present Wels h, English and American Howells derive from the old Welsh family of Abernent in Carmarthenshi re, the linage and name deriving from Hywel Dda the King of Wales from 943 to 950. He was gra ndson of Rhodri Mawr, the Great, who united almost all of ancient Wales under his supremacy . He (Hywel Dda I presume) was married to Ellen, daughter of the last of the Kings of Dyfed . The reign of Howel Dda was remarkable for its peacefulness, and is the only ruler of ancien t Wales designated "The Good".
He was also the only King ever to issue his own coinage. On a visit to Rome in 928, becam e a student of jurisprudence, and the code of laws he composed is his lasting claim to fame . Three parts of his code are still found in English Common Law. He was such a wise and jus t man that he was called "the head and glory of all the Britons." There is a place today in W ales called Crickhowell, which is considered to be either his home and/or pob.
