Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwladus_Ddu
Gwladus Ddu, ("Gwladus the Dark Eyes"), full name Gwladus ferch Llywelyn (died 
1251) was a Welsh noblewoman who was a daughter of Llywelyn the Great of 
Gwynedd and married two Marcher lords.

Sources differ as to whether Gwladus was Llywelyn's legitimate daughter by his wife 
Joan or an illegitimate daughter by Tangwystl Goch. Some sources[who?] say that 
Joan gave her lands to Gwladus, which suggests, but does not prove, the former. 
Gwladus is recorded in Brut y Tywysogion as having died at Windsor in 1251.

Marriage[edit]
She married firstly, Reginald de Braose, Lord of Brecon and Abergavenny in about 
1215, but they are not known to have had a daughter Matilda de Braose. After 
Reginald's death in 1228 she was probably the sister recorded as accompanying 
Dafydd ap Llywelyn to London in 1229.
She married secondly, Ralph de Mortimer of Wigmore about 1230. Ralph died in 1246, 
and their son, Roger de Mortimer, inherited the lordship.

Issue[edit]
Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Mortimer, in 1247, married Maud de Braose, by whom he 
had seven children.
