- Dubun was previously shown as the son of Brchwain ap Owain (ab Owain-36). Brchwain was born before the Common Era, his profile is marked for deletion and is therefore no longer connected.

↑ Darrell Wolcott. Ancient Wales Studies. accessed 4 Apr 2021Harleian MS 3859 Bartrum has recorded these genealogies with a stated purpose of reporting them intact, and not attempting to harmonize them. Darrell Wolcott in his report on Harleian MS 3859 has attempted a harmonization of these genealogies which not only corrects inconsistencies in names, but assigns an estimated birth year. While Wolcott's work is not adequate for establishing existence these ancient rulers as real people, it is superior to anything that might be found on popular genealogies.

↑ Wolcott notes, "We did not include the final part of the pedigree which claims the wife of Beli Mawr was Anna, mother of the Virgin Mary. While such a claim may have been a part of tenth century lore and served to show theancient ancestors were "civilized Christians", the cronology is wrong by at least a century. It is further unlikely a lady of Palestilne, born c. 35 BC, wouyld have married anyone on the Isle of Britain. Most likely, however, is that the statemewnt was a copyist' gloss added long after the pedigree was first composed.
↑ Wolcott notes, "both the chronology and the name "Afflewth" (the spelling is Amalech in other manuswcripts) suggest this was Lludd, the brother of Cassivellaunus and father of Tasclovanus mentioned by Roman historians in Julius Caesar's invasrion of Britain in 55 BCE.
