----------------------------------------

Caradog ap Rhiwallon Born about 1000AD. He appears in several Llandaff Charters. In a charter which scholars date to about 1045AD, he described himself as decomitibus, comes, or comites to Meurig (ap Hywel ap Owain ap Morgan Hen), King of Glamorgan. (Text of the Book of Llan Dav, pp 261). He is described as "breaking the sanctuary" at the bidding of King Meurig by bearing off by force the wife of Seisyll from the church door. He made a death-bed grant of 100 acres to the church in about 1075, in which he remembered his many sins, including the murder of his brother Cynan. This is made with the guarantee of Roger, Earl of Hereford and lord of Gwent, son of William fitz Osbern - comitis herfordie et domini guenti Rogerii filii Willelmi filii Osberni. {S2,S4}. references from the Morris Clan
