Issue and Succession
Madog was not the last of the House of Cunedda; two sons survived him. Additionally, the children of Rhodri ap Gruffudd, a brother of Llywelyn the Last, survived in exile. A grandson of Rhodri, Owain ap Thomas, or Owain Lawgoch, was later to proclaim himself Prince of Wales. The sons of Dafydd Goch also laid claim to the title, although illegitimately.
Madog ap Llywelyn is known to have had the following children:
- Maredudd ap Madoc ap Llywelyn (died c.1334)
- Hywel ap Madoc ap Llywelyn (died c.1352)

Famous quotes containing the words issue and/or succession:
“I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart.
But the saying is true: “The empty vessel makes the greatest
sound.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We then entered another swamp, at a necessarily slow pace, where the walking was worse than ever, not only on account of the water, but the fallen timber, which often obliterated the indistinct trail entirely. The fallen trees were so numerous, that for long distances the route was through a succession of small yards, where we climbed over fences as high as our heads, down into water often up to our knees, and then over another fence into a second yard, and so on.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
