Rhodri 'Molwynog' ap Idwal King of married Margaret of Ireland, 37G Grandmother, F.
Wurts' "Magna Charta", a very poor and unreliable source, calls her
Matilda, daughter of Duptory, King of Ireland. But since the wives of both
the father and son of RHODRI are given in this source and in Peniarth
MS.270 p.246 (late 16th century) it is likely that the latter also records
this information, possibly in an unanglicized form ("Margaret" being
anachronistic), although Bartrum's "Welsh Classical Dictionary"
neglected to mention it.
There was no king of Ireland named Duptory. There were, however, a
number of local kings in various parts of Ireland named Dub-something.
Of these, the one most resembling "Duptory" is Dub-Torran mac
Thuathain (see CGH p. 219), but his family seems to insignifcant to be
intermarrying with Welsh royalty, and there are many other
possibilities.
