You are spot on. I seriously hope that either Dafydd somehow provides a male heir or that there is a cadet line of Anwyls from far earlier that can be demonstrated to exist... people need to get looking.

The Anwyl of Tywyn article on Wikipedia goes into extraordinary depth and with great care citing half a dozen reputable publications over a millennia to PROVE so far as is possible that the Anwyl of Tywyn family are descendants of Rhodri ab Owain Gwynedd in the male line. It is proved, so far as...

This young man who died, Hon Filusi Tiosilusi (Theophilus) Fatu’ilangi Ngalumo’etutulu (Kalaniuvalu-Fotofili), 5th Lord Kalaniuvalu who died suddenly in 2010 was no ordinary lord - he was an extremely important person in Tonga. Theophilus who was the head of the House of Kalaniuvalu was also...

I am very interested in these "direct descendants of Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd". The Anwyl family have proven lineage from numerous sources and are in an unbroken patrilineal line of descent - which is essential because under Welsh Law/custom the royal title was normally inherited under a form of...

The noble Frankopan family who were historically the counts of Krk, Modruš, and Trsat are the closest Croatia has to any native royalty. The head of the house (disputed) is Louis Doimi de Lupis Frankopan.

The O'Conor Don (Ó Conchubhair Donn in Irish) is the Chief of the Name of the Clan Ó Conchubhair, titular Prince of Connácht and senior descendent of the last High King of Ireland. He is the older man on the right of this picture. The current O'Conor Don is Desmond O'Conor Don who lives in...

I'm not saying he should be heralded to the heavens. But what I do think is (a) without him Georgia would not have such a strong Bagratid heir, (b) neither he nor Anna married for love, (c) he does not deserve to be vilified so much.

You make some very pertinent points, Deheubarth, and I am inclined to agree with you on many of them. I am an admirer of Prince Charles too, however, I don't see why the title "Prince of Wales" cannot be detached from the English Royal Family after Charles ascends the throne. The eldest son of...

"Last Ruler of Wales" Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (1246-1282) was arguably the last independent prince among the Welsh to reign in any part of Wales. There was his brother Dafydd who followed him for six months in 1282/3 and after that some rebellions (the most significant being Owain Glyndwr from...

There isn't a "sheriff of Windsor castle". There never has been. A sheriff in England is connected to a shire; it is a "shire reeve". The Sheriff of Nottingham was the chief military officer in the county of Nottinghamshire and was based in the county town; Nottingham. I don't think the Sheriff...

In Defence of David of Mukhrani I think Prince David of Mukhrani deserves a little credit in all this. Building on the work of his father, Jorge, he has worked hard to ingratiate himself with the religious establishment in Georgia. Ultimately that resulted in marrying Princess Anna (of...

Mohammed v. Idris It seems there are deliberate moves being made now by at least three members of the Senussi dynasty to achieve a royal restoration. 1) Mohammed al-Rida bin Sayyid Hassan (b.1962) - the legitimate pretender - remains in Mayfair (London) is exercising great restraint about...

The first interview with Evan Vaughan Anwyl (Prince Ieuan) can be found in the Summer 2011 edition of Cambria Magazine. There is a link here: Cambria Magazine Summer 2011 and the article by award winning writer Byron Rogers can be read on pages 30 & 31.

The current pretender to the throne of Tunisia lives near Tunis and is about 95 years old. After the monarchy was overthrown in bloodless coup in 1957 the ex-monarch and his family remained in the country. The pretender to the throne is currently Crown Prince Ali Bey of Tunisia. I think a...
