Commentary
Stewart Baldwin on Merfyn's wife: 'JC.18 gives her as Nest, daughter of king Cadell of Powys. She, like Angharad, appears to be a late invention, for reasons which are the same as for Angharad. Since Nest probably never existed, the supposed line of descent through her from the kings of Powys is probably not valid.'
