Meurig ab Ithel or Idwal was an 8th-century king of part of Glywysing in southern Wales.
Meurig's father Ithel ap Morgan had been in sole possession of both Gwent and Glywysing (i.e., Morgannwg), but at his death divided his realm among his four sons. Rhodri, Rhys, and Meurig apparently received parts of Glywysing and Ffernfail received Gwent. [1]
Lloyd notes that Glywysing at this time is "involved in much obscurity". [1] It was eventually united by the line of Meurig's brother Rhys in the time of King Hywel or his sons.

Tewdrig ap Teithfallt, known simply as Tewdrig, was a king of the post-Roman Kingdom of Glywysing.

He won the battle, but was mortally wounded.
Athrwys ap Meurig was a prince, and possibly king, of Gwent and Glywysing in Wales. He was the son of King Meurig ap Tewdrig and the father of the later king Morgan ab Athrwys. It is possible he died before his father Meurig and did not live to rule as king himself.
Gwent was a medieval Welsh kingdom, lying between the Rivers Wye and Usk. It existed from the end of Roman rule in Britain in about the 5th century until the Norman invasion of Wales in the 11th century. Along with its neighbour Glywyssing, it seems to have had a great deal of cultural continuity with the earlier Silures, keeping their own courts and diocese separate from the rest of Wales until their conquest by Gruffydd ap Llywelyn. Although it recovered its independence after his death in 1063, Gwent was the first of the Welsh kingdoms to be overrun following the Norman conquest.
