 General Notes:
Iorwerth Llwewlelyn "Fawr", Prince of Wales, is sometimes listed as being married to Joan Plantaganet and other times listed as Joan of England. It is a matter of English history that he was married to Joan, the illegitimate daughter of King John. I have only found her name listed as Joan Plantaganet in CD-100, elsewhere being referred to as Joan of England. She has an estimated birth date of 1178 in CD-100. This would mean her father, John Lackland was only 12 when she was born. Joan was Llwewlelyn's only wife. He did have a mistress and one son before marrying Joan. I found his wife's mother in a biography entitled "King John" by W. L. Warren. She came from the union of King John and Clementina (who was supposedly low born) before John's second marriage and probably during his first marriage without heirs to his second cousin, Isabelle, daughter of the Earl of Gloucester in 1189. Their marriage was annulled due to the fact that the church had never approved of the second cousin relationship and he had no rightful heirs.
Do not confuse this Iowerth's wife, Joan of England, with John's legitimate daughter also named Joan. She was born July 22, 1210 (C-433, 567) It was common at the time for a ruler to name his illegitimate and legitimate children the same names. He had two son Richards and two daughters named Joan. UA #2337.
King John specifically arranged for Iowerth to marry his illegitimate daughter , Joan, to help ensure an alliance with what would have been a very powerful enemy. Iowerth was the first person to unite most of Wales. He was a formidable enemy to King John but became an ally to the king when he married his daughter for a few years following. 7
Llewelyn had mistress Tangwystl Goch FERCH LLYWARCH.
Llewelyn next married Joan (Joanna) OF ENGLAND, daughter of John LACKLAND King of England and Clementina, in 1204. (Joan (Joanna) OF ENGLAND was born in 1191,8 died on 2/2/1237 in Llyn Eglwystl, , , WLS 3 8 and was buried in 2/1237 in Llanfaes, , , WLS 8.)
