Arthur's maternal uncles in Culhwch and Olwen, including Llygatrud Emys, Gwrbothu Hen, Gweir Gwrhyt Ennwir and Gweir Baladir Hir, similarly appear to derive from this relationship. The latter is the common link between many of these figures and Arthur: thus the relationship of first cousins that is implied or stated between Arthur, Culhwch, Illtud, and Goreu fab Custennin depends upon all of their mothers being daughters of this Anlawd, who appears to be ultimately a genealogical construct designed to allow such inter-relationships between characters to be postulated by medieval Welsh authors. In addition to this immediate family, Arthur was said to have had a great variety of more distant relatives, including maternal aunts, uncles, cousins and a grandfather named Anlawd (or Amlawdd) Wledig ('Prince Anlawd'). (See the Offspring section for further information about Arthur's children.)

Kyduan was not the only child of Arthur according to Welsh Arthurian tradition вЂ“ he is also ascribed sons called Amr (Amhar), Gwydre, Llacheu and Duran. Regarding Arthur's own family, his wife is consistently stated to be Gwenhwyfar, usually the daughter of King Ogrfan Gawr (variation: 'Gogrfan Gawr', 'Ogrfan the Giant') and sister to Gwenhwyfach, although Culhwch and Bonedd yr Arwyr do indicate that Arthur also had some sort of relationship with Eleirch daughter of Iaen, which produced a son named Kyduan (Cydfan). 117 assert that Arthur is the son of Uthyr, the son of Custennin, the son of Cynfawr, the son of Tudwal, the son of Morfawr, the son of Eudaf, the son of Cadwr, the son of Cynan, the son of Caradoc, the son of Bran, the son of LlЕ·r. The genealogies from the 13th-century Mostyn MS. Culhwch and Olwen, the Vita Iltuti and the Brut Dingestow combine to suggest that Arthur's own mother was named Eigyr.

Arthur also appears to have been assigned a sister in this material вЂ“ Gwalchmei is named as his sister-son (nephew) in Culhwch and Olwen, his mother being one Gwyar. Several early Welsh sources are usually taken as indicative of Uther Pendragon being known as Arthur's father before Geoffrey wrote, with Arthur also being granted a brother ( Madog) and a nephew ( Eliwlod) in these texts. In Welsh Arthurian pre-Galfridian tradition, that is, from before the time of Geoffrey of Monmouth's 12th-century Historia Regum Britanniae ( History of the Kings of Britain), Arthur was granted numerous relations and family members.
