Yes, this is Rhodri ab Owain (in Welsh, 'ap' for 'son of' turns into
'ab' before a name that starts with a vowel, very like how 'a' becomes
'an' in front of a vowel in English). Checking the archives, it seems
that Rhodri's marriage to the Manx princess has been discussed before
-- after his death, his nephew Llewelyn Fawr attempted to marry her.
