Families covered: Walwyn of Hellens
| (1) Commoners starts its article on this family as follows: "The Welsh genealogists, according to their custom, have carried the antiquity of the Walwyn family very high, deriving the descent of Sir Philip ap David, Lord of Walwayne's Castle, in Pembrokeshire, from Gualgnain, sister's son to King Arthur, the British hero". It also reports that "The name is composed of two British words, Gwal, which signifies a wall, and Gwynne or Wynne, white". (2) Robinson reports that "There is a good deal of confusion in the early part of the Walwyn Pedigree, and the version given in Burke's Commoners (possibly compiled by R.B. Phillips) evidently repeats some of the generations twice over." Although this may refer to the generations after the Richard who married Clementia Write, we show the earliest generations reported by Commoners in italics until Richard (a 1340) who is the first reported by Robinson. |
