The two Edwins (both of whom appear in the Welsh annals), were
granduncle and grandnephew, as follows:

Hywel Dda
d. 950

Edwin Owain
d. 954 |

In general, an Anglo-Saxon maternal descent would need to be
hypothesized only for the first member of the family of that name,
since the second Edwin could easily have been named after the first.
