Most extant pedigrees skip from this Alser directly to Tudwal Gloff. Our insertion of Dyfnwal ap Alser in the pedigree is based on citations which say Gronwy ap Tudor Trefor married Tanglwst ferch Dyfnwal of the line of Tudwal Gloff[3]. One calls her "ferch Dyfnwal ap Aelan ap Alser ap Tudwal" but that would date the lady 50 years later than Gronwy ap Tudor Trefor who was born c. 940. Making Dyfnwal a grandson of Tudwal Gloff dates her to c. 955; thus we believe the missing generations in the pedigree of Llowarch ap Bran are those shown in our chart above. EDITED 8/20/2012 to add: However, Pen. 142, 101 mentions a brother of Dyfnwal named Aelan ap Alser ap Tudwal Gloff who had a son, Llawr. It is thus possible that the Eunydd in our chart was "ap Aelan ap Alser ap Aelan ap Alser ap Tudwal"and that his pedigrees simply omit one pair of "Aelan ap Alser" by scribes who assumed it was a duplication.
