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:
“For Banquo’s issue have I filed my mind;
For them the gracious Duncan have I murdered;
Put rancors in the vessel of my peace
Only for them; and mine eternal jewel
Given to the common enemy of man,
To make them kings, the seeds of Banquo kings!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The historic ascent of humanity, taken as a whole, may be summarized as a succession of victories of consciousness over blind forces—in nature, in society, in man himself.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
