Cadvvalhon the Sonne of JEVAF ap Edwal Voel.
AFTER the death of Howel, his brother Cad∣walhon second sonne of Ievaf tooke upon him the government of Northwales: his first businesse was to make warre with his Cousin Ionaval son of Meyric ap Edwal Voel, and the right Heire, whom he slue: but Edwal, Jonaval's youngest brother, escaped out of his hands. The yeare following, Meredyth the sonne of Owen King or Prince of Southwales, with all his power entred Northwales, and in fight slue Cadwalhon the sonne of Ievaf, and Meyric his brother, and so subdued the land to himselfe. Herein a man may see how God punished the wrong Iago and Ievaf, the sons of Edwal Voel, had done to their eldest brother Meyric, who was first disinherited, and afterward had his eyes put out by them, and one of his sonnes slaine. First Ievaf was imprisoned by Iago, then Iago with his sonne Constantine, by Howel the sonne of Ievaf: and afterward the said Howel, with his bre∣thren Cadwalhon and Meyric, were slaine and spoiled of all their lands.
¶ Meredyth ap Owen slue Meyric first; And Cadwalhon advan∣cing forwards he slue after in another battell; Anglesey and the rest of Gwyneth were the purchase of his Victories, which he plagued with insupportable Tribute.
