Cristin ferch Goronwy ab Owain

Cristin verch Goronwy or Christian verch Goronwy or Christiana ferch Goronwy was the second wife of Owain Gwynedd.

She was born around 1105 AD in Tegaingl, Flint, Clwyd, Cymrumap. She was the daughter of Gronwy (ap Owain) Owain and Genilles V. (Hoedlyw) Owain. She was the sister to Rymel verch (Goronwy) Gronwy. Owain ap Edwin, Lord of Tegeinel, was her grandfather.

She was married to Owain Gwynedd about 1145, a cousin. The church did not honor this as a true marriage. Where they were married in Wales is unknown.

Upon the death of her husband Owain in 1170 she supported her sons Dafydd and Rhodri in their murder of their half-brother Hywel in 1170 to get control of Owain's estate and the inheritance.

Other children of hers are Margaret ferch Owain Gwynedd, Iefan ab Owain Gwynedd, Angharad ferch Owain Gwynedd, and Angharad ferch Owain Gwynedd.

It is unknown exactly where or when she died, assumed to be someplace in the Kingdom of Gwynedd in Wales.
