Ithel ap Morgan

Ithel or Idwal ap Morgan was a king of Gwent and Glywysing (i.e., Morgannwg) in southeastern Wales.

This Welsh name means Ithel son of Morgan.

His father was Morgan the Generous, the probable namesake of the later realm of Morgannwg (whence modern Glamorgan).[1] Ithel seems to have inherited his father's realm intact, but then divided it among his many sons: Ffernfael in Gwent and Rhys, Rhodri, and Meurig in parts of Glywysing.[1]
