Cynfyn ap Gwerystan (born c. 990[1]) — sometimes spelled Kynvyn, Kynwyn, Cynvyn, or Kynfyn — was a Welsh nobleman,[2] principally known on account of his son Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, who established the House of Mathrafal over Powys as a consequence of a Saxon invasion in 1063.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}} Interim King of PowysHis father was Gwerystan ap Gwaithfoed and his mother Nest ferch Cadell[3][4], the daughter of Cadell ap Brochwel (not to be confused with the previous century's Nest ferch Cadell, the daughter of Cadell ap Brochfael, penultimate king of Powys from the traditional line). Gwerystan ap Gwaethfoed was a patrilineal descendant of Cynwrig, the younger brother of Iorwerth Hirflawdd who ruled Arwystli. Legendary accounts locate Gwerystan's grandfather Gwaithfoed in Englefield, and describe him as a friend of King Edgar (while the latter was in Chester); evidently Cynfyn's great grandfather was a significant nobleman. Wolcott{{who|date=December 2018}} states that "When he was born c. 985, there was no expectation Cynfyn would ever become a king. His ancestors had been among the leading men of Powys for hundreds of years, but the kingdom had been ruled by another ancient family which was still in power"[5]. Cynfyn married Angharad ferch Maredudd, daughter of Maredudd ab Owain, king of Dyfed, Gwynedd, and Powys[6]; crucially, she was also the widow of Llywelyn ap Seisyll, who had succeeded Maredudd as king of Gwynedd and Powys. Wolcott argues that Cynfyn acted as caretaker ruler of Gwynedd and Powys, until 1033, when Iago ap Idwal came of age and took the kingship[7] ChildrenWith an unnamed Irish princess, daughter of Sitric Silkbeard c. 960 he had the following issue:
After the death of his first wife, possibly in childbirth, he married Angharad (daughter of Maredudd ab Owain), widow of Llywelyn ap Seisyll and had the following issue:
