Anarawd Ap Rhodri 
Anarawd Ap was born about 0855 in Aberffro, Malltraeth, Anglesey, Wales. Anarawd Ap's father was Rhodri "Mawr" Ap Merfyn and his mother was Angharad Verch Meurig. His paternal grandparents were Merfyn "Frych" Ap Gwriad and Nest Verch Cadell; his maternal grandfather was Meurig Ap Dyfnwallon. He had eight brothers and two sisters, named Merfyn Ap, Cadel "Mawr" ap, Aeddan Ap, Tudwal "Gloff" Ap, Meurig Ap, Rhodri "Fychan" Ap, Gwriad Ap, Gwyddelig Ap, Nest Verch and Angharad Verch. He was the second oldest of the eleven children. He died in 0916.General Notes
Anarawd ap Rhodri Mawr became King of Gwynedd in 878 on the death of his father. He abandoned an alliance with the Danish Kingdom of York and acknowledged Ælfred the Great as overlord; as did his brothers and other lesser rulers. The precise nature of this overlordship is not known, and there was an attempt to portray this submission as a desire for unity among Christian rulers against the pagan Danes. However, this recognition by Welsh rulers that that the King of England had claims upon them would be a central fact in the subsequent history of Wales.
Died in 916
