Gruffydd of+ Gwynedd 
Gruffydd of+ was born about 1200. Gruffydd of+'s father was Llewelyn Mawr ap Iowerth Of+ Gwynedd and his mother is Tangwstyl Verch+ Llywarch. His paternal grandfather was Iowerth Drwyndwn Ap Owain of+ Gwynedd and his paternal grandmother is Marared Verch+ Madog. He had a sister named Gwladus Verch Llewelyn (Ddu) Of+. He was the younger of the two children. He had two half-brothers and four half-sisters, named Dafydd of, Tudor Ap+, Margred Verch Llewelyn Of+, Angarad Verch Llewellyn Of+, Elen Verch Llywelyn+ and Helen Verch Llywelyn Of+. Gruffydd of+ is no longer alive.General Notes
"At Llywelyn's death in 1240 (Gruffydd's father), contrary Welsh law and custom, Gwynedd passed to his legitimate son Dafydd, rather than being divided equally between Dafydd and his brother Gruffydd. It is thought that Llywelyn saw the practice of divided inheritance as a threat to the survival of Gwynedd, and he took extraordinary measures to ensure that Dafydd was recognized as his sole heir. As a consequence, Gruffydd spent much his life as a prisoner of his father, then his brother and later the English king, until his tragic death during an attempted escape from the Tower of London in 1244
