II-2. (1) LANN CUSTENHINN GARTHBENNI IN ERGYNG, OR ARCHENFIELD.
(Llangystennyn Grarthbenni in Ergyng, a church in Herefordshire.)

The Liber landavensis, Llyfr Teilo, or, The ancient register of the cathedral church of Llandaff; from mss. in the libraries of Hengwrt, and of Jesus college, Oxford: , William Jenkins Rees (1840)

Be it known to you that King Pebiau son of Erb, granted the Manor of Garthbenni, as far as the black Marsh between the wood, and field, and water, and the property of King Cystennyn, his father-in-law, beyond the river Wye, to God, and Dubricius, Archbishop of the See of Llandaff, and to Lunapeius his cousin, for his soul, and the writing of his name in the Book of Life, with all its liberty, without any earthly payment, and subjectiou, small and moderate, except to God, and to St. Dubricius, and those who serve in the church, for ever. And Pebiau held the written deed upon the hand of St. Dubricius, that the house of prayer and penance, and the episcopal residence might belong to the Bishops of Llandaff for ever. And in testimony thereof, he consecrated the church, and left there three of his disciples. Of the clergy, the witnesses are, first, Dubricius, Arwystyl, Ufelwy, leuan, Lunapeius, Cynfran, Gorfan; a nd of the laity, Pebiau the King was witness, Cystennyn, Gweuryr, Diheurwg, Cynddwyl, Gwyddgoll, Clem. Whoever will keep this alms given to God, may God keep him; and who will not preserve it, may God destroy him.

King Cystennyn is clearly King Constantine the Blessed (the footnote reaches the wrong conclusion) and since Pebiau is his son-in-law, he married a daughter of King Constantine.)
