Both Cynan and Merioneth are "old" areas in North Wale. So it seems logical that be included in a North Wales allied contingent. On the other hand as they were the best troops in the North (outside the Teulu) there may have been a reluctance to send them as aid.
Forces from North Wales seem to have favoured the spear over the bow, while those from the South the opposite. The troops from Cynan and Merioneth were considered better that the rest of the troops from North Wales. Likewise in the South troops from Gwent were considered the best.
The list also seems to be missing any of the French aid that Owain Glyndŵr received from 1402-1405. There were small French contingents at Stalling Down (1403), and French Forces landed at Milford Haven (1405).
