According to BGG 5 the twins Peredur and Gwrgi were 5 generations later than Coel Hen which would suggest they belonged to gen. 1. However, DSB 12(14) tells us they belonged to gen. 2, see the table below.
| Gen. | DSB 12(14) | ||||
| 2 | Peredur | Gwrgi | Estedich | ||
| 1 | Eliffer Gosgorddfawr | Efrddyl | Urien Rheged | ||
| 0 | Nyfain | Cynfarch Cul | |||
| -1 | Brychan | Meirchion Gul |
This contradiction can be resolved using HG 12 which states the father of Eliffer Gosgorddfawr was someone known as Letlwm, possibly a corruption of the individual’s actual name, see the table below. He was not Gwrwst Ledlwm who was another son of Ceneu ap Coel. Using BGG 5 and HG 12 the descent of the twins Gwrgi and Peredur from Coel Hen can be reconstructed.
| Gen. | BGG 5 | HG 12 | ||
| 2 | Gwrgi | Peredur | Gwrgi | Peredur |
| 1 | Eliffer Gosgorddfawr | Eliffer Gosgorddfawr | ||
| 0 | [Letlwm] | Letlwm | ||
| -1 | Arthwys | [Arthwys] | ||
| -2 | Mar | [Mar] | ||
| -3 | Ceneu | Ceneu | ||
| -4 | Coel Hen | Coel Hen |
