  Notes	Biography of Dwfyn Dwfyn ap Amgolydd, born about the year 140 of the Common Era, is known only through the genealogies passed down by Welsh bards and ultimately recorded by Bartrum and harmonized by Wolcott. The line of descent of which this person is a part appears below:[1] Beli Mawr (130 BCE) [2] Afleth (100 BCE) ap Beli Mawr Afallach (70 BCE) ap Affleth [3] Owain (40 BCE) ap Afallach Bryddgwyn (10BCE) ap Owain Dubun (20) ap Bryddgwyn Onwedd (50) ap Durbun Anwerydd (80) ap Onwedd Amgolydd (110) ap Anwerydd Dwfyn (140) ap Amgolydd Doli (170) ap Dwfyn Cein (205) ap Doli Gwyndog (235) ap Cein Iago (265) ap Gwyndog Tegid (295) ap Iago) Padern Beisrudd (325) ap Tegid Edern (355) ap Padern Beisrudd Cunedda Wledig (385) ap Edern Einion Yrth (415) ap Cunedda Wledig Cadwallon Lawhir (450) ap Einion Yrth Maelgwyn Gwynedd (480) ap Cadwallon Lawhir Rhun (505) ap Maelgwyn Gwynedd Beli (540) ap Rhun Wolcott notes that "it would appear the purpose of this pedigree was to show that Owain ap Hywel, at whose direction the entire manuscript was drafted, was descended from the ancient Royal Family of Gwynedd. Research Notes Note: this entry in the Harleian manuscripts is the result of mistranscription of the phrase "before Dumn, Amguoloyt."

Ancient Wales Studies. accessed 4 Apr 2021Harleian MS 3859 Bartrum has recorded these genealogies with a stated purpose of reporting them intact, and not attempting to harmonize them. Darrell Wolcott in his report on Harleian MS 3859 has attempted a harmonization of these genealogies which not only corrects inconsistencies in names, but assigns an estimated birth year. While Wolcott's work is not adequate for establishing the existence of these ancient rulers as real people, it is superior to anything that might be found on popular genealogies. Accessed 25 February 2023 jhd ↑ Wolcott notes, "We did not include the final part of the pedigree which claims the wife of Beli Mawr was Anna, mother of the Virgin Mary. While such a claim may have been a part of tenth century lore and served to show the ancient ancestors were "civilized Christians", the chronology is wrong by at least a century. It is further unlikely a lady of Palestine, born c. 35 BC, would have married anyone on the Isle of Britain. Most likely, however, is that the statement was a copyist's gloss added long after the pedigree was first composed. ↑ Wolcott notes, "both the chronology and the name "Afflewth" (the spelling is Amalech in other manuswcripts) suggest this was Lludd, the brother of Cassivellaunus and father of Tasclovanus mentioned by Roman historians in Julius Caesar's invasrion of Britain in 55 BCE. ↑ Harleian genealogies 1: Gwynedd part 1, amb
