* Owen was a personal name in Wales ; a few may be of Saxon blood for there is an rj
Owine in the Domesday, Yorkshire, and a still earlier Owine occurs in the "Codex Diplomaticus."
It was one of the most common Welsh surnames. The Owens of Tedsmore Hall
in Denbighshire are descended from Howell Dha, and the Kings of South Wales, but the
first of the family who wrote himself Owen was Roland Owen, sheriff of Montgomeryshire in
1610. The Owens of Giynason descend from Llywarch-ap-Bran, lord of Menai in Anglesea,
founder of the second noble tribe of North Wales and Powys. The Owens of Orielton, Co.
Pembroke, Barts, spring from Hova-ap-Kundhelw, a nobleman of North Wales who lived
about the year 1130, and was one of the fifteen peers. Fourteen coats of arms are mentioned
two are here given : "Gules, a chevron between three lions, rampant, or," and Owen [Wales]
" Argent, three ravens' legs erased, sable, meeting in the fess point, talons extended into the
three acute corners of the escutcheon."
