     Nest ferch Iorwerth died WFT Est. 1172-1242.² She was born circa 1148 at Wales.²
      ; According to The Henry Project:
"Illegitimate children [of Henry II]: by the wife of Ralph Bloet: [Crouch (1990), 198-9, in an account of the Bloet family, identifies Ralph's wife as Nest, daughter of Iorwerth ab Owain, lord of Caerlon, but does not identify which of numerous cited sources for the family provides this specific information. (I have checked most of the sources given by Crouch in this account, without finding confirmation of this claim.)]
The Henry Project cites: Crouch (1990) = David Crouch, William Marshall - Court, Career and Chivalry in the Angevin Empire 1147-1219 (London, New York, 1990). (Douglas Richardson, in a posting to soc.genealogy.medieval on 4 February 2003, pointed out that this source identified Morgan's mother.)¹ Nest ferch Iorwerth was also known as Mistress 2 (?)

     Ioannes (I) (?) died between November 983 and December 983.¹
     ; NB: There is a question whether Ioannes (Giovanni/Gianni/John) II was a son of Lambert or his grandson (son of a Ioannes I, won of Lambert). The two descents are discussed in a 2007 email string and then on Med Lands:
I. An email string posted on soc.genealogy.medieval contains the following:
     John Ravilious shows one descent citing Evans, [TAG 52:25-26]:
     Todd Farmerie responded: "I think the descent given by Evans is only one of several alternative reconstructions of these families. I seem to recall someone else tracing the same family from the Lambertine kings of Italy."
     Peter Stewart then responded:
     Peter Stewart goes on to say regarding "John, count of Laurino ["Giovanni di Laurino"]: "This is an interpolation, perhaps a misguided attempt to explain the numbering of John II below. In fact we know that John II was son of a Lambert, not of another John: the first prince of Salerno of this name was a duke of Amalfi, son of Manson I (these two became joint princes of Salerno, briefly, in or before April 982)."
II. Various national (language) editions of Wikipedia editions show different (conflicting) information:
     Wikipedia states "John I ... was the son of Manso I." (no source cites)
     Wikipedia (IT) states "Giovanni I ... [f]iglio di Mansone I," citing: Caravale, Mario (ed). Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani: LV Ginammi – Giovanni da Crema. Roma, 2000.
     Wikipédia (FR.) states "Jean Ier est le fils aîné de Manson Ier," citing: Venance Grumel Traité d'études byzantines La Chronologie I « Préfets et ducs d'Amalfi » p. 422.
III. Genealogics shows "Gianni II" as the son of "Lamberto of Spoleto", without any intervening "Gianni I." The only source cited is Wikipedia (op. cit.)
IV. However, Med Lands shows:
To support this lineage, Med Lands cites a source which mentions:
     Ioannes (I): "The Catalogus Principum Salerni records that 'Ioannis, filii Lambert comitis eius atfinis'," citing Catalogus Principum Salerni, MGH SS III, p. 211.
     Ioannes II "Maledictus": "The Catalogus Principum Salerni records that "Ioanne altero, filio Ioannis Lamberti comitis"," citing the same source.
Conclusion: I find Med Lands' citation of the Catalogus Principum Salerni to be enough to convince me that there was a Ioannes/Giovanni/John I and a Ioannes/Giovanni/John II and that the Med Lands lineage is logical. Therefore, I have chosed to reflect the Lamberts - Ioannes (I) - Ioannes II lineage. GA Vaut.^{2,1,3,4,5,6,7}
