Ednyfed Fychan (c. 1170 – 1246), full name Ednyfed Fychan ap Cynwrig,[ed 1] was a Welsh warrior who became Seneschal to the Kingdom of Gwynedd in Northern Wales, serving Llywelyn the Great and his son Dafydd ap Llywelyn.[3][4][5] Ednyfed claimed descent from Marchudd ap Cynan, Lord of Rhos, 'protector' of Rhodri Mawr, King of Gwynedd.[4] He was the patrilineal ancestor of Owen Tudor and thereby of the Tudor dynasty.[6][7][8][9]
As is usual with medieval orthography, a variety of spellings were used for his name in medieval sources, such as Vychan, Idneved Vachan, and Edeneweth Vakan.[5][10]
